Tarantino Acts Out Fortnite Scene on Floor!
8 Dec
Summary
- Tarantino actively participated, even crawling on the floor during Fortnite's creative process.
- The "Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge" was developed in an unprecedented five to five and a half months.
- Authentic performances were captured using motion, voice, and facial capture technology.
Quentin Tarantino's involvement in Fortnite's "Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge" was deeply hands-on, with the director even demonstrating scenes by crawling on the floor. This creative process, involving Epic Games and Third Floor, leveraged Unreal Engine technology to rapidly bring Tarantino's unfilmed "Lost Chapter" script to life. The entire project was completed in an astonishing five to five and a half months, a stark contrast to the typical five-year animation timeline.
The development prioritized authentic performances, utilizing motion capture, voiceovers, and facial capture to ensure the actors' true acting translated directly into the game. This high bar for authenticity, exemplified by Uma Thurman's performance as The Bride, complicated but ultimately streamlined the production. Tarantino meticulously reviewed storyboards and layouts, providing detailed notes to capture the nuanced tone and character performances.
The "Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge" features Yuki, the twin sister of Gogo Yubari, seeking vengeance against The Bride. The collaboration debuted on November 30th within Fortnite, marking a significant intersection of filmmaking and interactive entertainment. Tarantino's direct engagement and the rapid, technology-driven production highlight a new frontier in creative partnerships.
