Kara is a short cinematiq sequence created by Quantic Dream (Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls) to showcase their 3D engine running on Playstation 3 in real time and was released back in 2012.
This technology uses motion capture footage of the actress that plays Kara to create a very realistic animation. Whole film is full of emotions and detail and I really like how the android character is presented.
Quantic Dream is not only a game developer but also a company that supplies a motion capture services. Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls are the titles on the border between the game and a film. Especially with the last game, many critics argued, that Beyond is closer to the interactive film than to the game. Player is actually not able to explore the world outside of the scripted events and as long as he follows the prepared scenario, everything looks really beautiful and perfect. Nevertheless, Quantic Dream games are very creative and show innovating way of storytelling.
