Devil May Cry 3 (2005) motion capture behind-the-scenes and live-action previz. Capcom were really ahead of the game in terms of stunt choreography even then.

What a wonderful boost. Incredibly proud of all the teams, with a special shoutout to the animation team for pouring so much heart and craft into every frame. This is easily the greatest game I’ve had the pleasure of working on. Bring on November!
