Thanks

June 20, 2006 at 8:02 pmHey, I would think you first should choose your camera angles and the way the actors move/walk to emulate the game you want. There was a great episode of Chappelle’s show where they did a parody of GTA. There was no treatment on the footage, but we all know what was up when the camera and people moved exactly like the game.

June 21, 2006 at 6:35 pmYou can tweak the movement by dropping or holding certain frames, to give it a choppy look that some games have. I think the first thing to decide is the type of game you want to emulate, and play that game with the whole creative team. Loads of ideas will come from that session.
