You know, the guy who says let's put the camera here, let's have this guy walk to the right, blah blah.

In a live-action movie, this is one role of a cinematographer, but cinematographers have other responsibilities that may not apply, like managing equipment and sets, choosing lenses etc.

I guess CG movies are probably this way too. Is this guy just a kind of cinematographer? Or does he have a special title?

Director
That's far too broad of a title, especially for a video game.

Unless maybe it's specifically a cutscene director or something.

Director and cinematographer are two separate things. To answer the TT, it depends on the game.

video games are pretty young and really just within the last few gens able to use someone with that skillset. i doubt many games had a person dedicated to cinematography job role.

probably a team effort in most situations, but what the fuck do i know...
