How an Indie Animation Team of Four Uses UE5 to Produce BellyFant
Watch this video to discover how a small indie team of just four uses Unreal Engine to produce BellyFant—and how they’ve rediscovered the fun in animating to boot. BellyFant is a happy and curious elephant who loves to hang out with his best friend—a blue hippo named Toaster—while singing, dancing, and getting up to mischief. The show’s animated YouTube shorts have garnered over 50 millions views—impressive stuff for an indie team of people you could count on one hand. Find out how Unreal Engine empowered this small team to perform beyond capacity, and how working in a real-time environment puts the fun back into animating.
