00:00So, hi, my name is Petr Pekas and I'm Cinematic Director at Warhorse Studios
00:04and I prepared for you a small sneak peek behind the scenes of how cinematics for KCD2 were made.
00:20Story of KCD2 is epic and complex but in the same time realistic and down to earth.
00:25So, basically, our main goal was to create cutscenes that will be telling this story in the same manner.
00:38The action scenes were choreographed with stuntmen that have deep knowledge about medieval warfare,
00:43not only fencing and shooting firearms, but also how medieval battlefields were organized.
00:49Every bit of the battlefield was recorded and directed separately
00:54while still maintaining the mood, the pacing and overall timing of the scene
00:58to create this illusion of grand, crowded assault.
01:03We really wanted the scenes to feel authentic and realistic and chaotic,
01:07but also militarily organized.
01:09So, you can witness the most accurate depiction of medieval battlefields as we could do.
01:17One of our main focuses in cinematics is the atmosphere,
01:22because KCD2 is darker and more mature and complex,
01:25so we really stepped up with cinematic lighting,
01:29the weather effects and composition,
01:30but also with our sound effects and atmospheres.
01:33We really want you as a player to feel present in this realistic medieval environment.
01:47Performance capture was a great addition to our new project.
01:50We built our own custom-made head-mounted camera rigs
01:54that helped us to capture performances of guys like Tom McKay and Luke Dale
01:59and other incredibly talented actors.
02:02So, we tried really hard to capture the essence of their talent
02:07and recreate it as precise as possible.
02:11And, of course, we are capturing lots of horses.
02:14Well, horse riders on chairs.
02:17The thing with horses is that they don't fit to elevator much
02:21and then have a tendency to poop a lot.
02:25So, yeah.
02:28At this point, 12 professional filmmakers and 3 sound designers
02:32are working full-time just on cinematics
02:34to deliver what I believe will be one of the most cinematic experiences
02:40you'll ever witness in an open-world game.
02:43I will just say I hope you will enjoy it.
02:45Keep your eye on updates and more videos like this one.
02:48And cheers!
02:51Amen.
02:56Amen.
