Pac-Man World - Behind The Scenes (Patreon)

Hey all, so as usual here's a run down of some of the stuff that went on behind the scenes, this time for Pac-Man World!

How the video came about:

This on's probably more straight forward than most, as I knew I wanted to get AT LEAST one video done during my time off work at the end of September.

Unfortunately I was struggling with a big case of writers block, having completely scrapped one shorter video due to it not working... so I just sat down and decided to play whatever I fancied playing.

Pac-Man World just happened to be the game I chose to play, but I had been thinking about covering this game as a video some day anyway, so the whole play through ended up hitting two birds with one stone.

What followed was two days of playing the game and around 3 days of producing everything that was needed to make the video. I'm hoping the video does't come across rushed, but watching it back a couple times I think it's pretty solid.

Only time will tell!

How the video changed during production:

Due to the short amount of time between deciding on what game to play, and ending up with the final video... not much actually changed bar one visual joke I didn't think would work in the end.

I basically took the scene from Batman Begins where Batman holds up Falcone and says "I'm Batman." but put Pac-Mans face over Bat-mans head and made the subtitles say "I'm Pac-Man."

Yeah, it was pretty dumb, but also I'd have been dodging a bullet given the length of the clip. I don;t need videos getting taken down, after all!

Other Trivia and info:

I actually found out about the game working ina  CD player by complete accident.

I put the game into my PS3 to play it, as usual when a notification popped up in the corner telling me about the music CD I had just put in.

Thinking there was some sort of mistake I went to the music tab on the PS3's home menu and there it was! But to help prove my point I filmed the demonstration of it in an actual CD player elsewhere in the house.

Again, there's not much about this video to say but I can make up for that with what's next...

NEXT!

So while I originally went into this as a sort-of Halloween special... Let's be honest... it's not that spooky.

So I've actually found not one but TWO spooky games to do videos on and I'm hoping to have BOTH done and uploaded THIS MONTH!

Both of them I'd never played before and they'd both ended up being way more interesting than I expected which is always a bonus!

So yeah, keep an eye out for them. The second one of those two games miiiiight overshoot into November but fuck it, I'm going to do it anyway.

So until next time...

Thanks for reading, and for your support!
