Fallout Intro



The Fallout intro is an opening cinematic to Fallout.

Background
The video provides an overview of the themes and important aspects of the game, including Vault-Tec, nuclear war, and the respite of the vaults. The viewer is introduced to the conflict overseas and subsequent current violence underway. Advertisements give insight into the aesthetic of the time, introducing products and the general retro-futuristic style. The video cuts out, setting the tone for the subsequent narration.

Overview
The piece begins with the song "Maybe" by The Ink Spots and a screen of a Radiation King television set showing a Vault-Tec ad for Vault 13, featuring the Vault Boy watering plants and waving at the camera as the Vault blast door closes, followed by the "Vault of the Future" picture.

Then a Galaxy News Network (GNN) program starts, stating that "Our dedicated boys keep the peace in newly annexed Canada" and showing two American soldiers in power armor executing a Canadian insurgent and waving at the camera. A power-armored soldier is then shown in front of the American flag with 13 stars and a war bond ad. Next, ads for Chryslus Corvega and Mister Handy appear. The TV shuts down and the music fades, as the camera shows us ruins of a city, later determined to be Necropolis in the outro video.

Narration
After the cinematic intro, a series of still photographs with narration by Ron Perlman follows.

Developer quotes
"We tried to model the power armor as T-Ray did in the opening movie and game, but he could get away with clipping that would look really bad at close distances or certain angles. Simply put, building the Fallout power armor as it originally looked would have resulted in a suit with a tiny range of motion or a hilarious amount of clipping. We changed as much as we needed to allow for more flexibility in movement, but tried to stay very close to the original design whenever possible."
