80 Level Interview & Breakdown - The Changing Seasons - UE5 Cinematic Lighting

https://80.lv/articles/the-changing-seasons-ue5-feudal-japan-cinematic-lighting-studies/
I had the pleasure of being interviewed by 80 Level, where I shared an in-depth breakdown of my lighting workflow in Unreal Engine 5 for my recent project, The Changing Seasons. In this interview, I walked through each step of my process—from environment selection, reference gathering, and engine setup to shot lighting, ACES rendering, and post-production in DaVinci Resolve. I also highlighted some of my favorite plugins that helped elevate the visual quality and streamline the lighting workflows in UE5. I hope you find something interesting :)
