Extra Video: The Secrets Behind THAT Cyberpunk 2077 Montage
Hello peeps!
I've got a quick bonus episode for you today.
Basically: while I was working on the GTA video I remembered the technically impressive montage from the start of Cyberpunk 2077 and started to get distracted thinking about how they pulled it off.
And so I made a deal with myself that I'd put it to one side and come back to it as soon as the GTA video was done. So this is that video!
It was actually a huuuuge pain to watch the cutscene from a non first person perspective. I could pause the montage and fly around, but every time I started the game again it would go back to the first-person view. In the end I had to do a hacky thing where I would press play and pause, advancing time by a couple frames at a time - and then pull out the cutscene frames in Premiere.
Super hacky... but it means it's the only video on YouTube (that I know of) that lets you see this montage from outside of V's eyes!
Anyhoo. That's all from me. Next week I'm gonna do some more admin work - and also announce the date of the next game jam! So I'll speak to you soon

I actually didn’t think too much about the scene because it worked so well from a technical and storytelling perspective. I mean that’s an indication of how well it was integrated. You just made me aware of the heavy lifting required to get it done so smoothly. Thank you!
As a fan of the game I appreciated this peak behind the curtain on how it was done, thank you.
Even with all the bugs, still one of the best games and deeply moving storyline/endings (at least the ones i got) thanks for showing how this montage was done!! 🥳
