The people that made that possible are from <a href="http://www.blur.com/">Blur Studio</a>, specialists in CG animation for games, films, and commercials. The IGN video above features an interview with Derron Ross, an animation supervisor for the company. He explains that although you might not realize it in the final products, a ton of the highest quality game videos are from Blur -- as an example, one of the <a href="http://www.blur.com/warhammer_2.html#">early <em>Warhammer Online</em> trailers</a> that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/12/28/the-making-of-the-warhammer-online-cinematic/">a lot of you will have seen</a> is from them. Ross goes on to describe what it takes to create something with such dangerously high levels of awesomeness.<br /><br />If this little behind-the-scenes look at the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/star-wars-the-old-republic/"><em>SWTOR</em></a> trailer has you craving more CG goodness, <a href="http://www.blur.com/">Blur's website</a> has links to a ton of their other works for your viewing pleasure.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/24/behind-the-scenes-with-that-swtor-cinematic-trailer/">Behind the scenes with "that SWTOR cinematic trailer"</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:00:00 EST.
