10/10 doc! How did you capture such good audio for the interviews? I wonder was it skype/discord or did you have them record and send back? :D

Thank you! So, I Skyped my wonderful participants which is kind of funny to think now since it was probably the last time I actually used Skype! I took a fallback recording from my PC audio from the Skype feed (literally just a headphone splitter from my audio output going into the line-in in Audacity). I'd ask participants who had the means to record themselves with either a smartphone or a more professional audio recorder to do so and send me the full recording. That way I'd get a better copy and if any parts did come out a bit scuffed I could use my fallback audio. I'm glad you thought the audio was good though, I spent about two weeks working on this whether it was emailing people, processing the full audio timeline in Adobe Audition or waiting up at night in the UK to call the lovely folks over in the USA. I did get a bit of unused content about Fantasea in Lego Island but it didn't feel complete enough a segment to actually use in the doc, maybe I should dig it out and make a YT Short out of it...

"We weren't always drinking beer and smoking pot. But often we were." This explains so much lol. Amazing video! I love hearing these stories from the creators. You can tell a lot of heart and soul went into this game and that's why it still has resonance today.

I actually talked to Wes, Lorin, Kathleen, and various other folks who worked on LEGO Island, trying to organize a Reddit AMA in honor of the game's 20th anniversary. Sadly that didn't happen but Brandon Davis, one of the 3D animators on the game, did write up an article: docs.google.com/document/d/1chL_iGfo-h559vnR6ds_ZDnLWicZ48RYxFlf1wmV2aE/edit?usp=sharing
