Go behind the scenes with VFX artist, filmmaker, and YouTuber Sam Denison aka Samster, as he reveals the making of We Few Survivors — a fan made short film set in the universe of The Last of Us.


Sam shares how he used cutting-edge Vicon motion capture (mocap) technology and a talented cast of actors to bring both survivors and infected to life. From capturing realistic performances to building immersive environments in Unreal Engine, this film is a passion project made for fans, by a fan.


With Season 3 of The Last of Us on the horizon, We Few Survivors is a must-watch for anyone craving more post-apocalyptic action and emotional storytelling.
