Really nice works, appreciating the arts and animation

We haven't seen a clip that interacting with NPCs,is it hard or complicated to make a video containing something 'cant move' like NPC?l

Thanks! We'd like to film more NPCs talking or performing any other actions, but this requires extra animations made especially for the trailer. We usually don't have the time for that especially when when everyone is busy with an upcoming release. However we did do a little bit of this for the Xbox trailer, where you see Dominus talking and making gesticulations.

Why don't you just script it?

Good idea. I haven't looked into that, but it could save a bit of the effort of entering commands, hitting record, etc.

Thanks for awesome trailers, GGG and Eben! Ascendancy and Atlas are my favorites.

Thanks =) although those particular trailers weren't my doing. I only started doing this late last year - my first major project was the Carnage Mystery Box. A number of people worked on trailers before I did, and most recently Bex had been making them. She taught me a lot of tricks!

Camera tools... the stuff I have been wanting for years. Any chance we will ever get some? I for one would love to do cinematic shots :(

Chris expressed interest in this in yesterday's developer's answers post, so maybe!
