All valid and valuable thoughts, guys, thanks. I too have some reservations about the title being too insider, but it seems to have stuck, so it certainly may be the final title (at least the "W00t!" part), though the subtitle will surely change.
Right now the film will likely be a narrated story with no onscreen persona(s) other than the interview subjects. You'll get lots of video clips of the games in action and era-specific stock footage, as well as other appropriate inserts. Keep in mind that this is an indie film, so, while professional, there is not the budget to do extensive field work.
We've been told our Directory of Photography for the GDC 09 shoot will be Mike Bratkowski (www.bratkowski.us), who has done some fine work.
I envision talking about the entire history of our industry in a logical and fairly linear manner with lots of discussions of the important games and their various impacts. Of course things like the crash and shifts in consumer preference will need to be covered, as well as periods when certain genres rose and then fell in popularity. That will certainly evolve as we get more ideas and right the thing over time.
Vintage Games book!
