A look behind the scenes of Death Stranding
On Twitter, Kojima has shared a short video showing the ‘cinematic sequence development’ of one of the scenes in Death Stranding. In it we can see the different stages leading to the end result.

In an earlier tweet, Kojima shared a video of a performance capture session, when they were shooting Norman Reedus riding his bike (from the opening cinematic). However, Norman accidentally broke the handlebars off the prop they were using, and kindly helped fix it.
The bike scene at the beginning. The P-capture making of footage. The handle of the bike got broken, Norman helped us fixing, what a guy! Had great atmosphere during the shoot.

One of the easter eggs in Death Stranding happens when you play on your birthday. Like in MGSV, you are treated to a virtual cake. Kojima and other at the studio ate the real thing after digitizing it.
All the cakes appeared in DEATH STRANDING is handmade. We scan the real made cakes and after that we enjoyed eating them.
