Sound Design
Visual Effects
- most of the people who worked on the movie are gamers of some sort
- Matt mostly likes to run campaigns
- had a lot of fun with the argument scenes (in which players are trying to one-up the GM and try to take control of the story)
- death of Rogar's blood brother:
- scene was shot in far western Washington between Aberdeen and Ocean Shores
- to get to the location they had to park off a highway, off a clear cut (?)
- only a couple hundred yarts to get to the location
- figured, they could walk there
- but the forest was rotten
- they would push on a tree 4-5 inches in diameter and it would crack and fall over
- called it the Gram Cracker Woods
- you'd put your foot down and crunch through two or three logs
- and they also had to carry their equipment
- death of Nimble's sister:
- downtown Tacoma by the old town hall
- didn't have a permit
- pulled up in about five or six cars
- ran down the steps in costume
- after shot was completed ran back to the cars and drove away before police showed up
- whole operation took less than 4 minutes
- set up angle so it didn't show anachronisms (e.g. street lamps)
