David Hoch

★★★★★

“I learned so much in this course, especially using Unreal for cinematics animation and VFX workflows, which is different from game development. Major props Josh. This is easily the best Unreal for VFX course out there, and I would recommend it to my friends in a heartbeat!”

“Lots of in depth things you can't learn on Youtube. His lessons are deep dives while still being easy to follow. He moves along quickly you may have to pause but its much preferred to having someone go on and on. I also like the length of the lessons. Which are fun and rewarding.”

Mike Mayeux

★★★★★

“I would recommend this course to anyone who is a VFX artist or filmmaker that wants to learn about 3-5 years of knowledge into your brain in only about 2-3 weeks. Worth every penny!!! After taking this course I have increased my cinematic sequence skills tremendously. Literally every part of my previous workflow has been updated and have learned a TON of new skills I would have never dove into on my own.”

Oh Hey Void!

★★★★★

“This course is invaluable. If someone were to take one lesson from this course, it would open a world of inspiration, creativity, and know how. I definitely recommend this course if you are looking to materialize your creative imagination.”

The Discord server has also been a great resource too! You can tell the staff is doing this with passion and to truly help others move forward with learning Unreal for VFX.”

Most filmmakers and VFX artists are spinning their wheels.
Not because you lack talent - because you don't know how to make work that stands out!

Your portfolio isn't getting you hired

You're competing with artists + studios with demo reels from real productions. Unless your personal project looks indistinguishable from a Hollywood film, you won't get hired.

You're Wasting Months on Outdated Tutorials

YouTube is full of Unreal tutorials that teach buttons and menus,

Your renders look like a game, not a film

The gap between "video game graphics" and "cinematic film" is massive… and nobody teaches how to bridge that gap!

You don't know what gear or software to use

Do you need a $10K camera? Green screen? Motion capture?

The answer is almost always no. You just need to adopt this VFX workflow that actually works for any indie filmmaker.

“This course serves as a seamless introduction to Unreal Engine 5. As a beginner, I could not recommend a better starting point!”

“Before taking this course, I knew next to nothing about Unreal Engine 5. After handing in my last assignment, I've gained the skills to build scenes from scratch, animate characters, create VFX, and render cinematic videos. This course effectively bridged the gap between beginner and skilled creator, providing me with the tools to bring my ideas to life professionally.”

Jamie Lancaster

Animation Director

“I would like to give a shout out to Josh Toonen for creating this amazing Unreal Engine course for filmmakers. Although there are some good tutorials online, they are all very disconnected from each other and don't provide the right tools to really learn the process. This Unreal course walks step by step through the process and doesn't waste any time doing so. I only wish I had discovered it earlier. This is truly the only course I have ever purchased, and boy, did I find it worth every single penny!”

Eduardo Anton
