Technology and Innovation in FLITE | Framestore

Our short film, FLITE, exemplifies this mindset and ambition. While small teams of generalists have told stories and made short films using Unreal Engine before, we attempted a first: to put Unreal at the very heart of a pipeline that allowed for full cross-department, interdisciplinary cross-collaboration.
A project like this necessarily drew on four decades of experience, understanding and innovation, and FUSE - Framestore Unreal Shot Engine - was the result.
This short behind-the-scenes film lifts the veil on the tech behind FLITE, and how FUSE allowed us to move away from the traditionally linear nature of VFX and into a new parallel workflow. This allowed for greater flexibility and collaboration, and the chance to make better, fully-informed decisions far earlier in the filmmaking process.
For a complex physical shoot and a script that relied on both high-stakes action and nuanced human performance, the speed of iteration and the ability to see changes in real-time was nothing short of transformative.
Ultimately, FUSE helped us face one of the universal challenges we face as VFX artists, producers and technologists: to tell stories that could not otherwise be told.

This is incredible. Is there any remote chance you guys would be willing to create a full tutorial either web page, or document, video etc. of all the tools you guys used for this? Or even sell it, for other film producers, or enthusiasts, to see how this was done and try it themself? I think this is indeed one way the film/vfx industry will be massively changed.
