My new trailer for my documentary... hehe

looking good Dave. 1 suggestion when the caption comes up that says Centipede was the first game designed by a woman, you should actually include her name. I hope to have my gameroom cleaned up and functioning in about 2 weeks, so let me know if you like to come over and shot some footage.
 
If anyone has any good high res. photos of arcades and dust collecting abandoned werehouses hit me up, i would love to include some stills.

Big Dave, I've got some great pics of the warehouse we just cleaned out. PM me an e-mail address and I'll send them your way.

ty, Dean :)
your right i will get her name. I will hit you up when im down that way, my mom lives down your way. DAMN, I still have your straps, sorry bud, lol.
 
Liked Major Tom and "capture" with the Galaga fighter being captured at the appropriate time. Also think the Tron gal is extremely hot. She can stand around my game room all day if she wants to. I bet I could get a lot more quarters in my machines from neighbors that have developed an interest in arcades all of a sudden. Who is Mr "Number 11" guy with the glove and Marble madness? Your music choices are great. Great footage as well. This would be cool to run on a big screen in the arcade room with the music.

thank's komodo :)
the guy playing marble madness is (Mark Alpiger, classic arcade champion on Crystal Castles, also starred in King of Kong)
glad you enjoyed the preview :)
 
Teensy, tinsy, small complaint:
The re-using of the Asteroids footage kinda bugged me. Run a different clip for the second glimpse, wouldja? :D
 
Just off the top of my head, if it were me making this I'd add:

1) People who "flip" games to support their hobby
2) A Craigslist feeding frenzy
3) People with games overflowing their garage, house and inside of the home.
4) Interviews with beleagered wives who are overwhelmed by their husband's hobby
5) Interview female collectors (there are some around So Cal).
6) Gene at Vintage Arcade
7) Celebrity collectors (Ben Affleck; etc)
8) Go though a restoration of a classic game and how to find parts
9) Local arcade parties
10) Retro arcades (don't have any in LA anymore, but other parts of the country).
11) Cabinet graveyards
12) Interview some game programmers such as Eugene Jarvis
13) Guys trying to set high scores

Yup, all great ideas. most of them ran through my head already, just doing it and finding time to do it is the question for me at the moment, without any funds and being alone on this becomes overwelming. Thank's for your ideas :)
 
Not sure if you're using anything special to film this, but maybe you could have other people conduct interviews for you and film them, for locations/people you couldn't get to interview because of time/distance/money.
 
I have a requests,
anyone have any idea's for my sub title.... for instance (King Of Kong " a Fistfull Of Quarters"
The Video Craze ....... ?
it's about arcade collector's in general.
i can't think of anything. Would love to see your guys input.

Thank's,
Dave
