Okay. I'm an amateur 3D artist with an amateur question. I grew up playing games such Final Fantasy ect and have always been mind blown by the games "video clips".

In other words, when a small clip plays and you have no control and the visual quality becomes close to that of reality.

EG: http://www.gamealmighty.com/dailydebrief/wp-content/plugins/hot-linked-image-cacher/upload/realmofgaming.com/data/images/Final_Fantasy_XIII_Large.png

My question to posters is, under the game credits, who is responsible for making the video clips? I'm curious as to who to research for reference. I understand it would be a team rather than a person, but i don't know what to look for.

I thought it might be VFX but i'm not sure.

http://www.mobygames.com/game/ps2/final-fantasy-x/credits - Is the credits for final fantasy 10. What should I be looking for in terms of the 3d modeler for the video clips.

Appreciate feedback.
Sorry for a poorly written post, hope it makes sense.

The term for those is cut scenes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_scene), if that helps your search.

Blur studios is probably the most famous cutscene outsourcing company. Probably good to check out their site.
