About the project:
Chasing Stars is a cinematic Unreal Engine project created for university electives on SDG and Unreal Engine. The project explores light pollution and sustainable coexistence with nature. In the story, a character enjoys a magical, glowing garden at night, but notices moths and flies trapped by artificial lights. Through observation and reflection, they turn off the garden lights, allowing fireflies to illuminate the space naturally, and finally witness the star-filled sky. The narrative emphasizes awareness of environmental impact and promotes mindfulness toward sustainable lighting.
