Hand in vent sequence

In-game sequence
This sequence occurs after finding a screwdriver to open the shut vent, which contains an object of interest.
- Using camera angles and lens effects, I aim to convey a sense of uneasiness and danger related to the corruption, the main aspect of the game.

Originally conceived to be integrated with some gameplay elements like a quick time event, this sequence was changed to fit the flow of the game better and avoid technical difficulties.

End Game Cutscene

Pre-rendered sequence
Still in progress, this cutscene has undergone many changes to ensure it fits the gameplay and narrative, which were in constant evolution

Different steps were taken before the realisation of the final assets, allowing for changes and iterations in response to constant feedback.

1. I started by making a quick storyboard to convey the general idea and what it would contain
2. Then I did a more advanced storyboard with in-game screenshots, where I staged the character and environment to give the mood and camera angles intentions
3. Then I made a previz montage to check the flow of the cutscene and continuity between shots
4. After that, there are many iterations of shots, to explore different ideas and see which one is the most impactful
