                      do our cameras. It was mostly him. We just decided we wanted

                      Yeah how that came out, his name is Peter Besson, and he's 
                      a German bastard! He's really good. He's the director of 
                      short, great cinema. He's an up and coming filmmaker. We 
                      had contracted him to do the promotional AVI's, we had like 
                      a 4-part movie that we released about 1 month apart leading 
                      up to the release of Nocturne. And it kind of introduced 
                      the characters &#8211; I don't know if you saw those...

                      The fourth one, well we were just like, wahh! The fourth 
                      AVI came out around launch time, we had loved all the pure 
                      cinema shots that he had done, and it kind of tied everything 
                      together, because we had a completely different type of 
                      intro for Nocturne at one point and we just decided that 
                      that kind of relayed some of the horror and the drama and 
                      the suspense and whatnot that you get playing Nocturne, 
                      without just loading you off with a bunch of pretty cinematics 
                      and crap at the beginning. We really don't see the benefit 
                      in spending 6 months and using 2 or 3 art guys to make these 
                      great cinematics if we can convey the same kind of message 
                      with using some really innovative and cool cinematography. 
                      And that's what Peter was able to provide to us. He was 
                      kind of a blessing in disguise. That was one of the few 
                      things that really fell into our laps at the end. It was 
                      like, &#8220;Oh there it is!&#8221; Unlike any of the design 
                      or anything like that. </font></p>

                      Yeah. Well he came back with a completely different view 
                      than anyone &#8211; even if we had made a cinematic that 
                      was exactly the same type of thing in-game, it would have 
                      looked different and it would have taken us a long time 
                      to put together. I don't know if we would have approached 
                      it the way that he did because he's the director. He's a 
                      filmmaker. And none of us claim to be a filmmaker less than 
                      others, though other than in our own inactive style, we

                      especially early on, you don't see the actual creatures 
                      that are occupying the woods. You will see a lot of artifacts.
