Where Creativity Clashes with Pragmatism: Surviving the Cutscene Rollercoaster

This session explores an approach to creating cutscenes that we’ve developed over time, highlighting how practical realities often diverge from textbook theory and how they shape the individual stages of the workflow. We’ll walk through several phases of production, starting with script analysis and pre‑production, all the way to working with specific solutions in the engine, tracking the consequences of decisions made along the way. Finally, the session concludes with a look at how creativity can be preserved in a world of constantly evolving technology and increasing time pressure.
