INSPIRATIONS AND RESEARCH

‘Putting Play First Video’ - We steal a lot of process from game design. Every show we make starts the structure mentioned in this video - we find an active, audience-based mechanic and then build the world of the show around that experience.

‘Invisible Tutorial Video’ - We use this as a reference for our audience interaction and how we can slowly build up the audiences’ sense of risk and feeling of agency on their own terms.

‘Redefining Mattering Video’ - This video helped articulate for us what our show is really about. We keep returning to it as a reference as we make the show.

‘On Mattering Video’ - Another video from Hank, a much bleaker and questioning look on the same theme.

‘Legacy of Mr Brightside Video’ - This video was released just as we were deciding to start working on the show. It’s given us the perfect starting point of research and questions to work from.

 

‘Ger ‘Farmer’ Foley Video’ - This video is the most famous viral video about Mr Brightside. This video is a centre-point of the entire show and a lot of themes and ideas come from us watching this video hundreds of times.

 

‘Alternative Ger Video’ - Another angle of the famous viral video. This video is much less watched and was released a few days later than the original video. It gave us lots of extra details about the pub that the video takes place that went into the show.
