So, I've decided that I am going to make a brief documentary film about the hype leading up to the release of Spore. I'm looking for people who would like to help me with this project. I can handle all the editing myself but what I'd really like are recordings (whether video or just audio) from different veterans of the Spore community on their recounting of Spore, from the original 2005 GDC video up to the release of Galactic Adventures. I want to hear the opinions, arguments, the RPs and other forum games. Everything that went on during the excruciatingly long wait, and the almost universally disappointing release of the game itself.
I'm only looking for help from people who have been around from the beginning (not necessarily of this forum). People who's first glimpse at Spore was the 2005 video. Also, if anyone wants to try their hand at making the soundtrack for the film, go ahead and send me some samples of your work. I'd rather not use any copyrighted materials in this.
I'm going to make sure to get the go ahead from Maxis before I get too deep into this, and if any devs read this and would like to help, that would be awesome too.
So, does anyone actually want to do this? Even if you don't, could you try to let some of the older Spore vets know about this project? I know that most of them don't browse this area of Gamingsteve anymore and it would certainly make things easier.
