Generative AI vs Unreal Engine and MetaHumans

As a filmmaker and Unreal Engine developer who specializes in virtual human performances, generative AI has forced me to learn and grow as a creator. In this video I show my process of using full Gen AI to make a small commercial and then I show my hybrid workflow that uses the Unreal Engine, MetaHumans, and MOCAP to create a similar video with more control. The goal of this project wasn't to create a production ready video, but to show what a single prosumer could create with the late 2025 tools available from Gen AI and Unreal Engine. The video is structured with timestamps: 0:00 Premis, 0:44 Generate AI Workflow, 5:58 Gen AI Commercial, 8:38 Hybrid Unreal Engine Gen AI Workflow, 12:02 Unreal Engine Video, 15:26 MetaHuman and Kling, 17:03 MetaHuman and Mago, 18:43 MataHuman and Veo 3.1, 18:59 Conclusion.
