The Witcher 3 - Teaser trailer -mo cap|VFX

Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt cinematic trailer done by Platige Image is a very good piece of video, cleverly staged and edited. It's interesting, full of action and hard to believe it was made for game.
Since Killing Monsters cinematic was made by using mo-cap I've decided to take a closer look at the behing scene video.

Behind the scene showing a motion capture session.
In order to make a fight scene very realistic Platige Image had to use a motion capture with professional stunt actors. The choreography practices had to start in advance to ensure the high level of performence since the whole sequence had to be done in one go. Mo-cap added extra level of realism to trailer, which wouldn't be possible just by creating animation in 3D software. It's also very interesting seeing just basic models performing the choreography and mimicking actors movements. The amount of work required to make the trailer and number of people involved in is pretty big.
