Some tidbits in English:

- 9.000 takes for 62 hours of animation, 1/3 ended up in the game
- Daniel Craig is face and voice for James Bond 007, while Ben Cooke (his usual stunt double) made the stunts work.
Kirsty Mitchell as Natalia Simonova, Kate Magowan as Xenia Onatopp, Elliot Cowan as Alec Trevelyan and Alec Newman as Valentin Zukovsky.
- Long casting process, lots of captures for facial gestures, high detail 3D scanning for every model but Craig, who was rendered and animated classic style with lots of reference pics.
- From million polys face models to hundreds low-poly versions for in-game capable models. About 35 markers put in actors’ faces for animation
- MoCap for guns with a gun expert: they captured reloading and other little movements with real guns.
- They even captured a big truck they had nearby so they could imitate bouncing, braking, simulate cameras, etc. Used on Dam level.
- Special system for real-time preview: FPS camera capture + actor motion capture, real time integrated into in-game stages
