StageCraft is an on-set virtual production VFX tool that allows filmmakers to shoot against finished CGI. Considered a revolution in the field of visual effects, StageCraft production involves high-res video walls set up around a soundstage called “The Volume.” When The Mandalorian first premiered, StageCraft seemed like a great way to achieve movie-level effects on a TV budget.

This latest trailer for TellTale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season highlights the relationship between Clementine and AJ, presumably after the rumored time jump that will occur during the season.

While there are some examples of modern game expansions and DLC which go the extra mile in providing lengthy stand-alone or continuing campaigns for the core game, few, if any, of them can easily stand face-to-face in scale and quality to those presented by the Witcher 3.
