Shacknews has posted an interesting interview with The Movies (developed by Lionhead Studios) associate producer Brynley Gibson about the upcoming movie making sim.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Shack: From what I’ve seen the of the filmmaking tool, it’s a very robust engine. What went into that aspect?

Brynley Gibson: Well, it’s a big part of the game, and a lot of development did go into making that part of the game. Firstly, we have the scenes that make up the films, and we went with quite a realistic animation style. It’s much more realistic than the animation you’ll see in the studio lot, which is much more stylized, a bit more over the top. We created a scripting tool which uses flow charts to build a scene, so rather than having to code scripting for it we use these flowcharts so it’s a very quick and simple tool to build scenes quickly. As a result we have thousands upon thousands of scenes now across forty or so sets.
