It’s showtime
Mich-L is a short cartoon made with Unity that uses every feature in the new set of Cinematics tools released for film, TV and animation storytellers. Watch just how much you can do with Unity – and how much fun you can have – using the tools right out of the box.

Unity brings real-time workflows to animation content creators – speeding up traditional pipelines and giving artists, producers, and directors more opportunities for creative freedom, fast feedback, and artistic iteration on a flexible platform. With Unity, real-time production is a reality.
![Sequences in Unity](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sanity.io%2Fimages%2Ffuvbjjlp%2Fproduction%2F51a156d446beddaf1565005d0b8053d0ea0bb0dd-810x455.jpg&w=3840&q=100)
In a linear animation, the story happens in a predictable order, so certain processes can be automated and steps eliminated. This is what Sequences does. Check out the video below to see how Sequences accelerates the creation of your cinematic while simultaneously keeping you organized and flexible.

Recorder allows you to export what’s on your Timeline in a wide variety of formats, from still images to videos, from final pixel to intermediates for comp or effects work. And Recorder supports the most requested formats for release, including ProRes and H.264, so you can send your creations off for your audience to enjoy.

Download the Mich-L sample project
This sample project features the short cartoon Mich-L, made by our friends at Plip! Animation. It pulls into one template the features that make creating cinematic content easier within the Unity Editor. You’ll get first-hand experience with features including Timeline, Sequences, Recorder, Alembic, FBX Exporter, Cinemachine, and more.
To install the project in Unity 2021.2.2 or above, open the Unity Hub and create a new project using the Cinematic Studio Template. Note that the Cinematic Studio Template is not supported in Unity 2021.2.1.
