Take a look at some exclusive behind-the-scenes insight on how we crafted the cinematics for F1® 2021‘s story mode – Braking Point.

A buzz has been building around the new BBC four-part thriller Ridley Road, featuring VFX by the REALTIME team and which premieres in October. The series is set in the summer of 1962, when far-right fascism was rapidly rising in London. Based on the critically acclaimed 2014 novel of the same name by author Jo Bloom, award-winning writer and actor Sarah Solemani has adapted the novel for television.
How do cut scenes in games get made? For the story mode ‘Braking Point’ cinematics in Codemasters’ F1 2021, our team took motion captured performances and delivered final shots with Unreal Engine, the first time we’d employed the game engine like this. It was also the first time we used DI4D’s new digital double animation pipeline, PURE4D, for facial capture.
To get a handle on how this worked for the cut scenes, befores & afters’ Ian Failes chatted with our CG director Ian Jones and DI4D co-founder Dug Green in his latest VFX Futures podcast.
