“Time for what,” you ask? Time to put together the final, complete – fan conducted – interview of Wesker’s final voice actor!
I’m amazed/grateful I still get interview requests about Resident Evil and Albert Wesker. A few too many, in all honesty. I enjoy answering them, but they can be time consuming and often have the same questions in them. This week I received four at one time!
That’s when it hit me; why not get everyone involved? This would be the ultimate, complete and final interview… (Unless I ever return to the RE universe.)
This idea popped up after Monique Alves from www.residentevildatabase.com asked me to record my responses to her questions instead of writing them. I decided to do a video interview instead so that I could also post it on YouTube and then refer everyone to it in the future.
Also, because in the only other video interview I did (for UnWiredTV) I’m slumping in my chair, tired and wondering why I’m holding their mic… And also because the video’s aspect ratio is distorted, giving me chipmunk cheeks! I ain’t goin’ out like that, man.
So here comes the fun part, but we all have to work fast as I only have this holiday weekend to do this. Below are the questions that Resident Evil Database wants answered, plus a few other common ones mixed in.
_______________________________________________________________________
1. Look over the list and choose a question (If any are left. If not, just skip to #2!).
2. Think up your own unique question not covered below.
3. Video record yourself (use your computer camera, etc) asking those questions.
Script:
I’m [name or handle] from [town, country]. [Ask prewritten question, if any left] [clear throat ;-)] [ask your own, brief question].
4. Post the video on your YouTube channel or Mediashare. (You can delete it after I grab it).
5. Email the link to production@hit-the-fan[dot]com.
That’s it!
_______________________________________________________________________
No need to do a big production, etc. Just sit in front of your computer camera and record it (though keep an energetic pace as there are a butt load of questions). Then post. We’ll email you back when we’ve downloaded it so you can then delete it.
Here’s the hard part: I need them done by 11:59 PM this Saturday, July 2nd!!!
