Once I knew what Pac-Man was &#8211; the why and how of his existence &#8211; the rest of it fell pretty easily into place.\u00a0 I knew he had to serve a purpose, and that his purpose &#8211; whatever it was &#8211; needed to feel innovative yet comfortably obvious. Framing him as a sort of tactical hazard eliminator seemed like a cool way to give him narrative value, but also a means to make him relevant for the world we live in now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Were you ever tempted to stay true to Pac-Man&#8217;s original style and use 8-bit animation rather than CGI<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Not so much. Though we were sure to include his classic 8-bit shape in over half the shots in the film. We wedged it into everything from the compound doors, to the on-screen loading bars, to the dials on our goggles.\u00a0 Still, I think the real excitement and challenge came from trying to make this work as a live action concept. And to make him feel surprisingly at home in that space. As for Pac-Man\u2019s actual character design, though, we borrowed quite a bit from the original artwork that accompanied the 8-bit game. Most notably, the big red eyes from the classic arcade cabinet art, and the short-ish arms and legs from the old Atari 2600 cartridge. The latter was the first iteration of Pac-Man I ever owned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4084 aligncenter\" title=\"pacman-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/pacman-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"343\" \/>\n<p><strong>You created a teaser campaign under the name &#8220;Project Yellow Sphere&#8221; which seemed to get a great response from your audience.\u00a0 Is this a technique you&#8217;ve trialled in the past?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Definitely. It was much less about going viral, though, than it was about complementing the eventual film. In this particular short, there was very little time to convey an awful lot of story, and to justify a very long list of stuff. The Project Yellow Sphere website and teaser trailer felt like a great way to built some additional narrative foundation. To help prime people for the sort of tone and level of reality we were shooting for.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>This is your first live action project, how did you find directing real people as opposed to characters, and also taking an acting role in the film yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ha. I\u2019m not positive I\u2019d call it an \u201cacting\u201d role. But it was a blast to be on screen. Directing real actors, of course, tends to be a heck of a lot faster than directing a CG character. But at the end of the day, its all about getting the best performance you can.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4085 aligncenter\" title=\"pacman-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/pacman-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"344\" \/>\n<p><strong>Have you had any reaction from NAMCO about your film?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Perhaps&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>We noticed that you partnered with Machinima to release the film, does that mean we can expect more computer game-themed productions in future?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Oh yes. I\u2019m sure Steelehouse and I will be \u201cdigging deeper\u201d at some point in the future.\u00a0 And yes.
