FMV

Full-motion video games incorporate live action cinematography as the primary narrative technique. The genre's proliferation has been tied to innovations in digital media technology, with an emergence in the early 80s with LaserDisc technology and early 90s with optical disc technology, but its popularity has been largely considered a fad. FMV has since largely been substituted for CGI techniques and sequences, although there have since been experiments in incorporating volumetric FMV experiences into games using special capture devices such as the Xbox Kinect.
