Story of game boarding ...

People often ask me what's the different between boarding for game cinematic to say film or TV shows? Actually there is no big differences. In game cinematic, occasionally one needs to consider the continuity from game play to cinematic sequences - if the cinematic happens in-between game play, you want to make sure the set up of the first and last shots in the cinematic hook up properly with the game play. Aside from this, the cinematography rules and judgement are pretty much the same.

Artworks is copyrighted by the studios.

Like film and TV, story genres play a strong influent to the artistic direction of its cinematography. For example, a fun cartoony approach works great with Spyro New Beginning (see above); while say a project like God of War II, a live action epic style is more suitable. Once storyboard is done. We go through previz before getting into full production.

The board here lacks the traditional script and note section isn't because art direction notes and script isn't required in game boarding. It's just me ... taking off the script and production note for on-line loading convenience. HE ! HE!!
