⭐️ Hi there! ⭐️
A few months ago I had the chance to check the last two Harry Potter games files and I managed to find this cool cutscene named "cs21_voldemorts_death_animatic" which is an unused prototype cutscene of the game's ending. As I was very curious about this cutscene I tried to look for more information and I ended up asking to some of the people who developed it back in the day. I asked them about the cutscene function and also the procedence of the storyboards. Fortunately two people replied to my questions, here are their replies:
🔹 Thomas Kewell [Animator]
"This looks to me like a test recording, probably made to check the cutscenes system was working. All (or at least most) of the cutscenes for the game were rendered in the engine, and then captured. I think what you have found is a leftover video from a test of that system."
🔹 Gary Welch [Lead Animator]
"The cutscenes were not really my department. I was leading the in game animation team, it was along time ago (almost 10 years in fact... wow where did the time go!). I do know all the storyboards were done by Brightlight. We had the film script and nothing else, becuse we had to release it by the same time as the movies we could not wait for any scenes from the film."
As Thomas mentioned most of the game cutscenes are pre rendered (something that I really dislike since they will always be stuck with the low resolution that they rendered them and without any chance of improvement). It's interesting to see that they just had the script as Gary mentioned, I imagine that maybe they had some concept art too since some of the areas are very close to the ones that we saw in the films.
For my fellow KH fans, does this mean that I will start uploading other game's content? Most likely no, as this is a special situation I decided that I wanted to share this stuff with all of you, still I managed to do some room mod and oob in these games so maybe I could... hahaha
