Some of you may have seen this but I really wanted to share some thoughts on a project we’ve been involved with recently. The hell pizza interactive online adventure involved the cream of the crop in the south islands leading up and coming film and audio post production studios and individuals.
So what is it that I’m talking about?
Here’s what it is and how it works:
Scenario:
In a world becoming overrun with zombies, an attractive young woman finds herself trapped, and ends up ordering a pizza from the Hell Pizza website. One of the last remaining Hell Pizza employees receives the order and has to battle his way through a city of zombies, to ensure the Pizza arrives safe and sound.
Instructions: It’s your mission to watch and play the game and direct Steve (Hell Pizza delivery guy) through a series of decisions along the way. Make the right decision and you keep on playing, make the wrong decision and be sure that you will die in an interesting and outstanding zombie way.
This was the brain child (BRAIAANNNSS) of Logan McMillan and is a perfect fit with the Hell’s branding and marketing and once the green light was given on the project the production proceeded to rope in the cream of crop of film production and audio production companies and individuals in the south island. It was a production utilising some of the newest technology in the film industry (DSLR’s, CG FX, lots of foley and ADR recording and plenty of makeup). I was involved with of course the audio, soundtrack composition and recording, audio post mix and for the first time ever in something of this size… acting (although I pretty much just played a hypo version of myself).
I will write more about these parts very soon but in the meantime please watch and play the game.
