Making an Interactive Movie Adventure Game

[goldensox]

This week I stumbled upon a very interesting concept for an adventure game:
A full-motion video adventure game, like Myst, Phantasmagoria or Dark Seed.

So I made a quick but very meaningful search on the forum and found about the Theora video player, that can actually play extremely compressed videos during the gameplay with an more than awesome quality.

The thing is, I'm making up a kind of game um my head, something that goes like this:

A 15~25s video of the current scene/event plays, giving the illusion of a real time recording. The hotspots can be applied on this video, and they can trigger to another camera angle/video cutscene. There is no need for a player model because I can make it in full first person, or in second person (kinda like third person, but with different angles and the indirect control of the model's actions).
I can make cutscenes for almost everthing, from item grabbing to door opening or stuff like that...

It's kinda weird, but I'll have to organize stuff very carefully. A simple walk from a room to another would require a lot of cutscenes, like
Current room scene
Door Opening Cutscene
Character getting out of the room cutscene
the corridor scene
Walking to the end of the corridor cutscene
Opening another door cutscene
entering said room cutscene.

So like... Does anyone here have any opinion/sugestions on how I could make it more simply or anything? I would be glad to hear your ideas.

Thanks in advance.
