Plan for Greg Findlay

I don't know why but for some reason every now and then I go into commercial mode. Essentially what this means is that I see things as a television commercial or at least a video ad. I had another one of those moments reading some posts on the board here and this is what I thought up. Normally I wouldn't post stuff like this here but this time is sort of relates.

It's an ad GG could make for torque. It would be a film taken during IGC of a group of people playing one of the games in the ShowOff area. There is a crowd of people gathered around watching the game being played. The camera is far enough away that you can't 'really' see what game is being played. The focus is on the audience. Suddenly one of the players scores and the whole place erupts. The scene fades to black and a caption appears but you can still hear the hooting and hollaring. "It took 3 developers 18 months to develop this game. It could be yours. www.garagegames.com or visit for more about the game played in this video."

Obviously the number of devs and the time period would change to actually reflect the game being played. The game link is in there to promote the game and to show people that yes it really does exist and this event really happened.

This isn't an original idea per say because I think I heard that this event actually happened at IGC last year. Remember to bring the camcorder this year ;).

Where GG could use this ad I don't really know but it would cost about the price of a camcorder tape to make (if they already have the vid editing software) and who knows, it might look good at trade shows. It would almost look like it was live footage there.
