This Samurai proof of concept trailer was created by Jerry O'Flaherty, the Gears of War art director. He and his team are developing a samurai vs. ninja action movie in a "300" style, using the Unreal 3 game engine to render the props and environments. This was a no-budget piece shot in two days with a volunteer cast of five people against a white background. The background plates were created in Unreal with the intent of sharing all of the environment assets (rendered at higher res for the film) between the movie and the game. The project is being produced by Blacklight Transmedia and State Street Pictures.
