Saints Row (2022) - Doc Ketchum's Murder Circus DLC Cinematics Package

I am responsible for the game capture, direction, and editing of these five cinematics. They were edited in Adobe Premiere and After Effects. The Aggressive Recruiting mission from the main story of Saints Row (2022) was expanded into a full roguelite mode for the "Doc Ketchum's Murder Circus" DLC expansion. I was tasked with creating a new introductory cinematic that plays the first time the player starts up the activity that reintroduces Doc Ketchum, what the Murder Circus is, and gives a soft tutorial to the player on how the game mode works. The mode features four different playable characters, each with their own personality. To add additional flavor and to better sell that this mode is a battle royale being livestreamed to the public, I created a template cinematic that could then have additional footage slotted into each. This allowed the creation of four more cinematics, each featuring Doc Ketchum introducing whichever of the four contestants you chose to play as. I worked with the animation and motion capture teams to create a unique animation for Doc Ketchum that could be used throughout the cinematics to make it feel more like he is playing up to the camera as the host of the livestream.
