Everything inside the engine
Every frame is rendered in Unreal Engine 5. The environments are Gaussian splats captured in the Athirapally forest. The characters are MetaHumans built on fully scanned digital doubles of the cast. The production itself is operated by MCP skills that work on the engine directly. When the film is done, the tools are released.
