Have you had a worst first date? This short film was made entirely in a motion capture volume with a virtual camera and live performers who were retargeted to the characters you see here, along with environment and sound design, VFX added and voice overs polished. We made it in just under three weeks using .

Some dates feel like karma coming to get you. Some people seem perfect right before things go off the rails. Some places look awesome to explore… until you end up on the news.

This is the *found footage* story of Sean on his last first date.

**About the Film:**

Made entirely inside a motion capture studio using a live-directed pipeline with Unreal Engine. Full performance capture—face, hands, body, and props—was used to bring every detail to life. Post-production included sound design, retargeted animation, and environmental art.

The whole project took three weeks from concept to completion.
Sean lasted roughly 15 minutes. Most of his footage was lost, and has since been classified.
