Our Work

At Treehouse, we're leveraging the real-time pipeline through Unreal Engine to significantly enhance our production workflow. This approach cleverly merges traditional storytelling with state-of-the-art technology, allowing for a flexible and dynamic film making process.

 Our productions are structured around a three-loop process: it begins with pre-visualisation, advances through the creation of assets such as prop rigging, character modelling, and environment building, and comes to a head with the application of finishing touches like VFX, before continuing onto final rendering. This method fosters an iterative and adaptive creative environment.

 One of the standout benefits of our process is the ability to efficiently make last-minute adjustments. This flexibility provides our directors and film makers the opportunity to refine and tweak scenes right up to the final stages, ensuring that the finished product aligns closely with the original vision. 

Originals

The well

When a shy teen reveals a secret well to three ‘friends’ they get a terrifying reminder to always be careful what you wish for....

Created as an experimental piece using Unreal Engine, and with the support of Epic MegaGrant. This short, released in 2021, was officially selected for over 40 festivals around the world.

The success of The Well gave Treehouse confidence to commit to focusing on RealTime animation, with the limitless possibilities provided by Unreal Engine.

Treaters

Treaters was our first ScaryTale; a spooky, sugar-fuelled heist movie bursting with thrills and chills that will make you feel like a kid in a candy store.

Shot in 4k and scanned to 35mm film, Treaters was released on Halloween night, 2017. It tells the story of three masked kids who set out to rob their local candy store but get more than they bargained for when faced with the not-so-sweet store owner.

LITTERBUGS

Helped by her self-made flying mechanical creatures, a young inventor and an enigmatic pint-sized superhero defeat the town bullies and find an unexpected friendship.

Litterbugs was a true labour of love for the Treehouse Gang. Released in 2016, the short was made with the support of the BFI and Creative England. The final piece won several awards and qualified for both BAFTA and Oscar consideration.
