Free Unreal Engine pre-visualisation workshop in York — XR Stories, 16 November

XR Stories is running a free, hands-on Unreal Engine workshop at Patch York on 16 November 2026, focused on using UE as a pre-visualisation tool for filmmaking, animation and digital twinning.

Pre-vis is increasingly where real-time engines earn their keep outside games: plan shots digitally before the expensive physical shoot. This half-day workshop gets you building a short scene in Unreal Engine 5.8, working through:

• Sequencer for shot planning and edits
• CineCamera to simulate real-world camera properties and framing
• Dynamic lighting to shift a scene’s mood
• Rendering your planned sequence out to a finished short video

Bring a laptop with Unreal installed if you can — a limited number of loan devices are available (mention it when booking). Some digital media background is recommended; full beginners might find the pace brisk.

⚠️ Access note: funded by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, so it’s only open to adult residents of York and North Yorkshire — though eligible attendees can also claim back travel costs.

Same workshop also runs in Scarborough (17 Nov) and Harrogate (18 Nov).
