A real-time, motion-captured visual for Offer Nissim's California Dreaming — built end-to-end in Unreal Engine with MetaHumans as the on-screen performers and Vicon as the motion-capture pipeline driving them. The whole piece runs in real-time, not pre-rendered.

The performance was captured on a Vicon optical mocap stage, retargeted onto MetaHuman characters in Unreal, and lit / staged in real-time so the production loop could iterate against the music at performance speed. Camera, lighting, and look development all happened live in-engine — no offline render pass — which made it possible to refine the choreography against the track itself rather than against a frozen frame.

The result is a visual where the performance is genuinely danced, not key-framed, and the staging breathes with the song's softer, sun-bleached aesthetic — built on a real-time pipeline that can re-render and re-direct on demand.
