Dang. I just realized that I never posted a few of the video interviews we did at E3! Luckily Gemini Rue looks just as good now as it did a month ago, so I think you still should be able to enjoy this.
Again, thanks to Jeriaska for the great job he did shooting and editing these!

This is a fun one. Jenova Chen talks about his third title for the Playstation Network, Journey, a gorgeous online game that focuses on exploration. He also discusses thatgamecompany's approach to sound design and his previous collaborations with musicians Austin Wintory on flOw and Vincent Diamante on Flower.

The Attract Mode x Nobuooo E3 2010 interview series continues! This interview is with the creators of Ghost Trick, an original title from Capcom for the DS. Director Shu Takumi and Producer Hironobu Takeshita of the Ace Attorney series discuss the creative process behind their upcoming Nintendo DS game, along with their collaboration with composer Masakazu Sugimori of Design Wave. Interpretation is by Capcom localizer Janet Hsu, with additional translation by musician Yoshi Miyamoto.
Ghost Trick was one of my favorite games of the show. If, like me, you were wondering how they created the smooth, flamboyant animation present throughout the trailer, make sure to watch the vid above.

I teamed up with Jeriaska from Nobuoo to do some video interviews at E3. Jeriaska just finished editing the first interview, and this is actually one he did all by himself: interviewing, filming, editing, everything(!).
In the interview above, Grammy award-winning composer Howard Drossin discusses the soundtrack for the upcoming Splatterhouse reboot for PS3 and Xbox 360. Drossin touches on his past experiences and how they influenced this project, from working as a composer on 16-bit Sonic titles and other Genesis classics to playing in various metal and punk bands in the 80s.
I'll keep posting the videos as soon as they are edited and ready to go! Thanks to Jeriaska for all his hard work, and to Ben Ross for the pixel-perfect intro and outro.

I'm not sure if you are aware, but LA has had a kind of a bad rep for chip shows: rare shows with small, disinterested crowds in awkward venues. I think that perception was pretty much destroyed Saturday night. Synchronicity was packed wall-to-wall with dancing, jumping, screaming bodies. Nullsleep said it was the best turnout so far on the tour. Alright! The old has passed away; behold the new has come.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support (I finally got a chance to meet 8 Bit Weapon!). We're going to take this momentum and try to start up a regular event. If you have any tips/connections for a venue that you think would be a good fit, fill me in.
Huge thanks to all the performers. They all killed it, did a great job promoting, and are just generally excellent guys. Also, big thanks to our man behind the camera, Jeriaska. He's been working super hard to capture cool happenings in the chiptune and videogame music scenes, and he filmed the whole show. I'll be sure to post any videos he puts together once he has had time to edit and put them up on Vimeo.
