NOETA Academy

850+ productions used Unreal Engine by the end of 2024.

In 2019, that number was 16.

Virtual production didn't creep into film and TV. It took over. And the
demand for artists who understand real-time is outpacing the people who
can actually do the work.

Here's the part most 3D and ArchViz professionals miss:

You're already closer to this world than you think. Materials, lighting
intent, composition, environment building. Those are the skills a
Virtual Art Department runs on every day.

So we're running a free session to show you the bridge.

Bridging Worlds: A Guide for 3D & ArchViz Professionals Entering Virtual
Production.

90 minutes, hosted by Mahmoud Alkawadri (Epic Games Gold
Tier Consultant Instructor, 20 years across architecture, CGI, VFX, and
real-time). You'll walk away with:

→ How the film pipeline shifted to real-time
→ What the Virtual Art Department is, and where you fit
→ Which of your CGI and ArchViz skills transfer on day one
→ The real technical demands of the LED stage: parallax, frustums, nDisplay
→ The mindset shift: on stage, a beautiful asset has to perform live
→ A clear map of roles and entry points at every level

Every registrant also gets a free PDF guide, the VP entry roadmap, plus
the full replay.

production?

12 weeks. 1 portfolio piece. Here’s what that journey actually looks like 🎬

This isn’t a course brochure, it’s a real walk through the NOETA Cinematic cohort, week by week. Unreal Engine for Cinematic takes filmmakers, architects, and visual artists from their first Unreal session to a production-ready reel piece in a single program.

By Week 7 you’re building in-camera VFX on an LED volume, the same workflow running on Hollywood stages. By Week 12, you’re rendering a capstone that goes straight in your reel.

Live instruction. Real-time feedback every session. Epic Games authorized certificate.

⚡ P.S. Next cohort opens June 22. Use code CINEMATIC10 for 10% off, expires June 10. left.

Eid Mubarak ! We stayed quiet for a year.
Not because we weren't ready. Because we wanted to know the program actually worked before we told anyone it existed.

One cohort at a time. Real students. Real outcomes. Real portfolio work that genuinely surprised me.

Now we know it works.

Today we're opening the next cohort globally — and for the first time, I'm talking about it publicly.

NOETA Academy — Unreal Engine for Cinematic.

This is not a video library. Not a self-paced course. A cohort — a minimum of 4 professionals working together under direct mentorship, learning the exact workflows that power 850+ Hollywood productions.

Graduation: a complete cinematic portfolio piece.
Certificate: Epic Games Authorized.

Format: Live online — join from anywhere in the world.
📅 Starts April 20
🌍 Europe, GCC, North America — worldwide

Fellow artists, producers, and directors,
NOETA's founder willll be at EFM and the Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival I this weekend and throughout next week.

I’m honored this Saturday at 16:30 PM to be speaking alongside Ilija Brunck and Igor Simic on a panel focused on game engines—specifically Unreal Engine—from the producer’s perspective.

🎬 Panel Topic:
“How to Use Game Engines: From Virtual Production to Interactive Worlds – What Producers Really Need to Understand Today.”

We’ll explore how real-time technology is transforming production workflows, storytelling—and what decision-makers truly need to know to stay ahead.

If you’re attending EFM or the festival, let’s connect and hang out!

🌍🎮 Thrilled to have attended Gamescom 2025 in Cologne – the world’s biggest stage for gaming innovation!

This year was not just about exploring the latest in Unreal Engine, UEFN, and game technologies, but also about connecting with incredible studios, developers, and industry leaders who are shaping the future of gaming.

As NOETA Academy, an Epic Games Authorized Training Center, our mission is to empower the next generation of creators across the Gulf region and beyond. At Gamescom, I had the opportunity to share our vision, exchange ideas, and explore collaborations that will bring even more opportunities for talent in the MENA region.

The energy, creativity, and ambition I witnessed remind me why education and mentorship are essential to building sustainable gaming ecosystems.

Excited for what’s ahead and grateful for everyone I had the chance to meet – let’s continue building bridges between Europe, the Middle East, and the global gaming community.

�🎮 سعدتُ جدًا بالمشاركة في معرض Gamescom 2025 في كولونيا – أكبر منصة عالمية لابتكارات صناعة الألعاب!

هذا العام لم يكن فقط لاستكشاف أحدث تقنيات Unreal Engine و UEFN، بل أيضًا للتواصل مع الاستوديوهات والمطورين وقادة الصناعة الذين يصنعون مستقبل الألعاب.

بصفتي مؤسس أكاديمية NOETA، وهي مركز تدريب معتمد من Epic Games، فإن مهمتنا هي تمكين الجيل القادم من المبدعين في منطقة الخليج وخارجها. خلال Gamescom، أتيحت لي فرصة مشاركة رؤيتنا، وتبادل الأفكار، واستكشاف سبل التعاون لفتح المزيد من الفرص أمام المواهب في المملكة العربية السعودية، الإمارات، والمنطقة العربية عامةً.

الطاقة والإبداع والطموح التي شاهدتها تذكرني دومًا بأهمية التعليم والإرشاد لبناء منظومات ألعاب مستدامة وقوية.

متحمس جدًا لما هو قادم، وممتن لكل من التقيت بهم خلال هذا الحدث – لنواصل معًا بناء جسور التعاون بين أوروبا، الشرق الأوسط، والمجتمع العالمي لصناعة الألعاب.

🎮 Our founder is heading tomorrow and after tomorrow 21 & 22 to gamescom 2025 in Cologne, Germany — and this year, I’ll be representing NOETA Academy!

If you're attending, let’s connect, collaborate, and talk all things gaming, Unreal Engine, and the future of creative tech.
See you there! 🚀
