Video documentaries are one of my favorite ways to learn about something. Honestly, the Discovery Channel has taught me many things through documentaries that I would have never bothered learning about from a book.
Someone I know from the Tr2 Games is making his own video game documentary titled, You Meet The Nicest People Making Video Games.
Here’s a message from the creator:
Hey, guys! It’s been awhile. A few months ago, I started work on this documentary. Everything I’ve done so far has been with equipment borrowed from a community center here in San Jose. After my first batch of interviews, I decided I’d like to go on the road and speak to some more people, and so I launched a page on Kickstarter to raise funds for this project.
I’ll be traveling across the US and speaking to people who make video games on their own time and dime and finding out what makes them tick. Part of my motivation for this is, as said by Anna Anthropy in the trailer above, to see more people making games.
I’ll be interviewing students and indie game makers and golden age veterans alike, and in the end, the movie will be given away freely under a creative commons license, and all equipment turned over to the community center that has enabled me to film as much as I have to this point, so please take a look at the page, kick in if you’re so inclined, and definitely spread the word so this movie gets made!
