Hironobu Sakaguchi and Jun Aida, the director and producer (respectively) of the Final Fantasy movie were interviewed recently. They discuss digital actors, digital filmmaking, and how the game relates to the Final Fantasy universe, among other things. My favorite quote:
Press: When this movie comes out on DVD, have you thought about including additional features in the DVD?
Aida: Good question. (Laughs) We\’ve been asked that question before, and with the PS2 being DVD compatible, we are working on a very interactive product. Namely, you will be able to render certain sequences of the movie in real time, and be your own director, and change camera angles and shots. That\’s the enhanced interactive capability that our research and development team is producing currently. Hopefully, that will go on the PS2 version of the DVD.
That is so damn cool.
