Deep in the woods at night, a wild group of friends gather around the campfire to tell each other terrifying and dirt covered stories of the monster said to haunt the mountain.
This short was made in 48 hours for Vancouver's Run N Gun 2022 film competition. Mocap was made using my free Unreal Engine toolset, which is designed at making animations fast and fun using Steam VR and Apple hardware.

An intern for an evil corporation puts their life on the line to deliver a package to the horrifying CEO.
Created for Run N Gun in just 48 hours (ok, maybe 58 hours with the ending scene I added), this film was motion captured in my living room using Unreal Engine and my free filmmaking tool VRMocap. I swear it can do better mocap than this... promise... Check out the github here:

Ok, so if you must know, I messed up the ordering of when I load in the user's height, so it shrunk people down and caused their necks to go crazy. It's fixed now though... maybe?

If you are having problems attaching too many vive trackers to a computer, you may need an additional USB PCI card for your computer. I've had luck with the Startech PEXUSB3S44V 4 Port PCI Express (PCIe) SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Card Adapter.
Here's a quick start for using my VR motion capture solution!

The Watcher is a horror short film about a malicious entity living inside your electronics, waiting and watching until you are most alone. Shot on a cellphone for the Vancouver Horror Show's Jump Scare Film Competition 2020, we made the film using the prompt 'COMPUTER.' We had to pivot our original concept to allow for social distancing, and the production team collaborated from 4 different cities! I made the monster to learn Substance Painter, and that software is amazing. Much recommend.
Thanks for watching and supporting Megasteakman throughout all these years, and sorry about your speakers!
Witness the ultimate battle of man vs nature in the outrageous, 80's canadian horror film classic "No Man's Dam." Cower in fear, as the Beaver Butcher seeks revenge for a savage act of cold blooded murder in this hair-raising VHS classic inspired by the Evil Dead and Tales of Terror. Originally shot in 24 hours for the 2018 Blood N Guts Film Competition.

This video was a huge challenge: it's our first shot with the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera, and because my metabones speed booster hadn't come in, I was forced to use an adapter that wouldn't focus to infinity. Needless to say, it was incredibly hard to get wide shots. Still, I love this sketch, and am proud of everyone who helped out on it!
