Prozess
It started with exploring. We spent a long time walking the map, watching where animals showed up, how the light worked at different times of day and where situations built on their own. From there we shot with the free cam, close to how you would shoot a nature documentary. No pre built camera moves, just live flythroughs reacting to whatever happened. Third person where it fit.
All of it stays true to the game. Some situations we set up deliberately, others simply happened. Everything was captured in game.
Our own background leans toward staged work, where every shot is planned and timed and things sit closer to narrative film. This was the opposite. It felt like shooting a real documentary, where any moment can go a different way and everything still feels natural.
During Steam Next Fest the demo reached #47 among all demos in the festival, putting it among the most played titles of the event.
