Common questions
Game trailers, in-engine vs pre-rendered, and pipeline — answered.
What goes into a game cinematic?
Concept and previs, performance and motion capture, environment and character work in Unreal Engine 5, rendering, compositing, and final delivery. Our capture and animation teams connect these stages around the requirements of your project.
What's the difference between a pre-rendered and an in-engine trailer?
Pre-rendered cinematics are rendered frame-by-frame for maximum fidelity; in-engine trailers use the game's real-time engine. We produce both and can match a game's look in Unreal Engine 5.
Do you handle motion capture for cinematics in-house?
Yes. Body and facial performance capture, editing, and final render all happen in-house, which keeps the pipeline tight and iteration fast.
How much does a game cinematic cost?
It scales with runtime, character and environment complexity, and capture needs. Share a brief and a target length and we'll scope and quote it.
