UNSEEN CHARACTER SHORTS

Three cinematic character trailers interpreting the characters of the unseen gaming universe.

The Unseen Gaming Universe is an in-development decentralized gaming platform governed by interoperable characters and the $UNCN token. As part of the UNSEEN’s promotional material, several character cinematic shorts were developed, giving players an insight into the game’s world and lore. These shorts interpreted the game’s characters as fully developed cinematic characters with unique personalities of their own.

SHADER AUTHORING

Nour served as the Cinematic Technical Director, overseeing the transformation of game assets into cinematic UE5 character shorts for: The Daytrader, The Hodler, and The Zoomer.

THE DAYTRADER

Fueled by caffeine and copium, the Daytrader lives on the edge of a bull run that never comes, overdressed for success and under-rested from the hustle. His cinematic look was designed to channel wired energy and hollow ambition, with messed hair, fake luxury, and a constant twitch in the eyes. No matter what he wears, the bags under his eyes are definitely not prada.

THE HODLER

Markets crash, fires blaze, but the Hodler? He’s unbothered. With a slushie in hand and eyes fixed on the moon, the Hodler does not know panic; not because he’s a genius, but because he genuinely believes it’s all going to work out. And somehow, it does.

His world and look were crafted to match this blind faith, a surreal calm while everything around him spirals into chaos. The secret to his success? Ignorance, confidence, diamond hands... and a suspicious-looking lamb mobile.

THE ZOOMER

The Zoomer doesn’t chase the meta, she is the meta. Glued to her screen, flipping coins like outfits, and with a couple too many tattoos that her parents don’t know about, the Zoomer rides the algorithm with confidence. She was basically born online and raised by the internet.

Her look was crafted with layered textures, trend-forward fashion, and a very particular obsession with collectible dolls. Everything about her is curated, aesthetic, and effortlessly cool.
