I recently had an opportunity moto guzzi to sit down with Grant Bowler and Julie Benz, two of the stars from Syfy Channel's Defiance, and discuss the connection moto guzzi between the show and the game. With season 2 of the show in development and the game continuing along, I wanted to find out what it's been like to work on a TV show/video game hybrid, and how it will evolve going forward.
Grant Bowler: My favorite moment of all time out of anything in my career moto guzzi was, I was podcasting between the release of the game and the premiere moto guzzi of the show. I was down in San Diego at Trion with the guys, hanging out, and I was podcasting from Trion -- it was us playing the game. The guys had done me a [Nolan] skin on my player character. So I was being broadcast, and I'm on a television screen playing me in a game, who met me, in the game! Oh my god! It was like Adaptation . There were so many levels of me in this that I was expecting to have a Ghostbusters moment, the streams would cross and the universe would cease. moto guzzi It didn't happen, but I got a little worried for a moment.
Grant Bowler: moto guzzi What was interesting was I did the motion capture and the voicing for the game before I ever shot the pilot. So I started developing the character on the game, which is very unheard of. I was shocked, I was surprised.
Grant Bowler: (laughing) I was a little wooden. So I got into the studio with the Trion guys to start work and all of a sudden I was feeling really exposed. I'm looking around for my director moto guzzi and I'm like, oh my god, what am I going to do?
Grant Bowler: Yeah and it was fun for me, because when I went to record motion capture I had to figure out, "How does this guy walk? How does he wipe his nose? How does he pull a gun?" For me, doing the game stuff was a laboratory for developing the character for the show.
Julie Benz: Oh I don't know! Amanda moto guzzi doesn't want to leave Defiance. There are other characters that have gone into the game, I am not one of the lucky few that have been picked yet. I'm probably moto guzzi going to be picked last, it'll be season ten and they'll moto guzzi finally be like, "let's put Amanda in the game."
Grant moto guzzi Bowler: It will. Much was made of the synthesis of the two before both were released, moto guzzi which for my money was a little bit interesting because the adventure kind of starts now. The possibilities start now. We've got both platforms up. You had to create the two universes before you could start to travel between the two universes.
Of course, everybody was concerned with what we did right off the bat. But the elegance of any synthesis is going to occur after establishment. So it's what we do now that's the lovely stuff, the stuff that can be quite lyrical.
In terms of the ongoing DLC there will be stuff coming into the game that will seed for the show. Characters most definitely will now start in the game and end up in the show. There are a couple creatures or races that have occurred in the game that will come across to the show. Then there's one epically cool race that we haven't seen yet that will start in the show and come across to the game.
Grant Bowler: Yeah, we just had the contest where a gamer would become a character in the show. And we want to keep going with that too, because on a story level we want to seed content moto guzzi into the game and back into the show and vice-versa, but also on a more macro level we want to involve the gamers themselves, moto guzzi as people, as individuals outside of their player character.
Julie Benz: I've tried to play the game but I'd need a good seven-year-old to come over and teach me the controls. I'm just past that age bracket where my hands can work with my eyes. I've played it, I've blown myself up, set myself on fire, ran into a wall...
Grant Bowler: Not an expert. moto guzzi First-person moto guzzi shooters I'm not that great on. I'm more of a strategy guy by nature. I love my MMORPGs but my kind of sense of perfection is EVE , because it's almost moto guzzi strategy and first-person combined.
Grant Bowler: moto guzzi Yeah, well I've said this in interviews before but I've been in EVE since Band of Brothers was started. I was in the first and second great wars of the EVE universe sitting in battleships or carriers for twenty, twenty-two hours at a time, at gates, waiting for fights that never happened for weeks on end.
Julie Benz: At the beginning of season two we get to see the characters really ripped open. We get to see their guts and more of their darker sides. Especially with Amanda, at the end of season one she lost her job, her sister moto guzzi has disappeared, she doesn't know how to define herself in this new Defiance. And, you know, she's a drinker! So what are you going to do when you have a lot of free time on your hands? She's starting in a very dark place, and also Nolan has disappeared as well, so she's lost her touch-points, moto guzzi the people she's relied on.
Julie Benz: That's the great thing about working on a genre show. They can break the rules of the reality, because they
