My cue to remind you all that this moment where Ast. cries was NOT scripted.
Neil felt his heart go this way in the moment and that rawness was done in one take.
I chose not to make him do it again as I wanted to make sure this lightning was captured in the proverbial bottle.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the best games of this decade, this scene with Astarion defeating his abuser and then having a cathartic moment while the music swells, the message it sends is so powerful ugh, IT’S PEAK 😭

Hi.
[Hint of a spoiler, I guess?]
The moment in this scene you have taken a picture of here - where Astarion gets this release -
@NeilNewbon
did it in one take.
We didn't want to adjust that raw emotion Neil gave. It was sad, cathartic and beautiful.

You may say he's an asshole. You may not like him, but you can't say he's not a great and deep character. He can't erase his past but we can help him be a better PERSON.

Patch 6,
It had to be getting
@NeilNewbon
to do a 'Joaquin Phoenix Joker' laugh for Astarion being succumbed by the amulet.
He choked on his own spit and reacted to it.
It made me laugh so much I had to select it for the game:

Hi,
Please don't use actor's voices with AI to create parody videos.
They never consented to the material therefore NOT COOL.
You may not be making profit but you are trying to get views/likes/traction using someone's likeness that isn't your own.

Huge respect to Laura Bailey in being so open about the damage 'toxic fandom' can have.
Disliking a game should not grant anyone permission to be hostile. No one is saying you can't not enjoy something, but channeling your deep issues in the form of attack is egregious.

I directed Harriet Hare (Shar) for this scene.
My main note to Harriet was that her hand, which Shadowheart finds herself on in each interaction with Shar, could close up tightly into a fist at any given moment.
That real sense of danger and the darkness looming at all times!
Larian knew to only put this scene in the Shadowheart origin run so I don’t have to cry during every baldur’s gate playthrough

- 'PLEASE WRAP IT UP' can get in the bin
- Why was the film industry given more air time
- I love Hideo but he didn't need 10 mins to say 'I have a new game it's going to be cool' and say nothing else.

I was invited to do a MoCap Audition today.
From an actor perspective, I don't often see body types like mine in MC suits but to be called in for the casting stage felt incredibly validating.

The MC data would then go to

Can I just say how impressive the conversation animations are in BG3. Astonishing synchronicity for a game of this scope. Would love to hear from someone at
