The film is intended as an illustration of a portion of the lecture "Design Reboot", delivered by {REDACTED} videogame creator & outspoken critic Jonathan Blow. In the lecture, Blow identifies what he thinks is the unique expressive power of videogames, and he then describes the ethical dilemnas that occur when this power is misued by a {REDACTED} videogame industry. The film includes 8-bit elizabethan "chiptune" music by the Super Madrigal Brothers. Warnings: The film clip, brief as it is, runs the serious risk of misrepresenting the depth and breadth of Mr. Jonathan Blow's thoughts on this subject. You are encouraged to listen to the lecture in its entirety, available for absolutely free. Google it! 'DESIGN REBOOT LECTURE'. Production notes: Initially intended as a series of HD sketches to promote one of the most significant lectures of the videogame age, the clip included none of the craft of THE CHILDREN OF THE CLONE, nor did it present even the hollow charm of DOT MATRIX REVOLUTION. Some claimed the clip deliberately misrepresented the lecture, while others simply viewed the film as "unfinished & depressing". EDIT: On Monday, November 16th 2009, Superbrothers Inc. did not announce a new videogame project via email & twitter "TIM LANGDELL'S: EDGE & EDGERY EP", which is thought to be a spiritual successor to DRHD. http://ats.vimeo.com/583/408/5834088_200.jpg 200 150 3807518
