Dara O'Briain talks about video games being the only art form with a skill requirement. TV, films or books don't prevent your progress because you can't "beat the boss". This is part of the reason they're not spoken about in the same way. Then add further restrictions like having a/the right device to play them on, means you can't just offer a casual recommendation (to a non-gamer). Having said that, there is some incredible writing in games. Would be interesting to know if people have crossed over, one way or the other.

Go 8-Bit tried really hard to make video games entertaining for A TV audience, but they had to introduce all these specific restrictions and time constraints etc to make it work in a digestible format, which sadly doesn't represent the games in their true light. You can't play Tomb Raider or Elden Ring on a show like that. But it's okay, because Let's Plays on KZbin have got that covered.

I have always looked at the three-act format as a Gag Structure. All jokes follow the same idea: The Premise or Setup, the story, the punchline. And that applies to any book, film, etc. There is something about three of anything and the way the human brain works which as a default, is a safe and strong way to communicate. But even when you have ads, you just divide your three by three again, so each part has three parts too.
@daviebananas173510 ай бұрын
It’s not even about threes. It’s just a simplistic way of describing ANY story. You have to know who the characters are, otherwise, who cares. There had to then be some plot, otherwise what is the point. There then had to be a resolution to the story. It’s just a very simplistic way of looking at a much more complex thing.
@hannahk130610 ай бұрын
Dara Ó Briain had a brilliant video games themed TV programme a few years back called "Go 8 Bit". However, it wasn't like a series based on a game, it was a gameshow where contestants would play various games to compete for points. They had an enormous variety of games from different genres, platforms and decades, including some that the contestants chose so they could literally be anything (I think there was a no repeats rule though). It was a great way to introduce games you might never have heard of; preview new games or gameplay styles (I remember at least one VR game for example); or get nostalgic over an old game. I seem to remember the last round wasn't actually a real game: it was a real life version of a game, where the contestants would physically be the game characters. So it added that TV entertainment angle to gaming and the big final (3rd act?) that gameshows love.

Yeah, it’s a very basic way of looking at art. All stories must have a beginning and an end. That’s two. To leave out any middle is insane as we don’t go anywhere. Its possible but your story is nothing. It’s a silly way to describe all performance art. We all love basic structures and pretending everything comes in threes though.

I can definitely see a role for AI in editing in terms of automating some of the more tedious tasks but I would hate to see AI making actual editorial decisions. I know it will happen, though. Money-people adore AI because it means they can create content without paying for a skilled professional to do it. As a skilled professional I find that immensely worrisome.

The Cosby show was an innovator in "slaving" single cameras on a multi-cam set. Select cameras were recorded in entirety while also sending their signal to the switcher for live cutting. If a cutaway or missed cue was needed, the slave camera footage could be cut in to the master. Now, all cameras are dual feed and this is a given, but pre digital was a different world ( get it?_). p.s. Brits call switchers "Vision Mixers" and shock absorbers are "dampeners". In both instances, I feel they got it righter...

I'm wondering from whom, or why the games industry would need to be validated by anyone other than those who consume its output? I feel like when a medium begins seeking that kind of broad approval, it becomes diluted and losses what makes it special (this is not an argument against inclusivity or an attempt to shield an industry from warranted criticism).
@travisolson941310 ай бұрын
Good point. I don't know why they would need to be validated, but I would compare this situation to the comic book industry. For years, and years, the comic book industry existed. A small group of people were serious collectors/readers but by and large, the rest of the world just knew those books/characters existed. But then the Marvel Universe extended to the masses. Now everyone seems to know about even fringe characters. But I do think there is a certain exclusivity or individualism that gamers and the gaming community enjoy. You are either with us and know what is going on, or you're not. In that case, we don't care about you.
