Lee has pretty much captured the key tapes from GC4 now, and there now resides hours – possibly even days – of footage from the show on the studio drobo. One of the plans we’ve been chipping away at for months now is the gradual release of all of the archive material, and it seems like we’re finally about to make some real progress with it. More about this at gchq in the next few days, but it does seem like we’re suddenly able to move. We’ve got to find better, clearer, easier ways of thinking and talking about the show to others – and hopefully engaging them in it.

Meanwhile, things are progressing at an inspirationally swift pace with my favourite project. We’re assembling an amazing team for this, and to be honest I’m staggered that they’re being as generous as they are. Last Monday we met and looked through the new design work that Keita had dropboxed – with a view to feedback on feasibilities for potential build. Tomorrow morning, we’re meeting again to explore when such a potential build might be – sooner, rather than later it seems…
After the meeting, as usual, I wrote up progress and sent it over to Namco (with a gTranslated set of minutes to Keita, who can seems to be amused by translation…) who fed back again with wholly positive and supportive comments. I need to make more detailed notes about this, as it’s the minutiae of the thing that I forget – but the optimism being shown by Namco Bandai in this is just amazing.

Anyway. Christmas.

Notes:

You know more about building playgrounds than you think you do.

Plan overdubs at least a little before recording.

Ask nicely.
