This was a fairly intense project for me, as we only had about two weeks start to finish on it, in order to meet their deadline for the first game. This was a blend of locked down camera shots with a live actor running through the frame and composited-in cg knight following the actor around. Used Final Render stage 0 on the first few shots of this one, for a bit of gi lighting (which i could use because i only needed a single frame for the background, as it wasn't animated). Anyhow this one was all done in 3dsmax, rendered with the scanline or final render, and composited in after effects.
