First Day

About This Movie

So, 'First Day' is this interesting short that takes a fresh look at the classic dynamic between a newbie trooper and an old-school veteran. It’s set in the Star Wars universe, which always adds a layer of intrigue. The animation is done entirely in Unreal Engine 5, which gives it a strikingly immersive quality. The pacing feels brisk, packed with those moments of tension and humor that make it quite engaging. You can sense the playful exploration of themes like mentorship and the clash between tradition and new ideas. The performances breathe life into the characters, which is impressive for a short. Plus, it’s neat to see what’s possible with such advanced tools, especially as a precursor to the upcoming AFK miniseries.
