SimOperation interviews Machinima artist VRevis

SimOperations contacted Creator Camp attendee and machinima artist VRevis for an interview.  She politely replied back, discussing the week she spent at the event as well as her thoughts on The Sims 3.  Have a read!

SO: Can you tell us a little bit about what happened over the course of the week?

VR: The first day, Monday morning, we had a tour of the EA campus, then demos (demonstrations) of the game, and that afternoon we got to start up the game for the first time. We had various meetings the first few days that were optional to attend, depending on your specialty. I attended the machinima meeting, but not the CAS one or build mode ones, for instance. We spent some time in the Media Lab on the second day, and got to sit in on a session with Nicki Rapp, who you know as the child’s voice for Sims 2. She will be continuing on in Sims 3. Most of our days were spent at our computers, with the machinima folks doing video work in one room, most of the other custom content creators were in the room next door. Bloggers, journalists and a film crew followed the event, all week long. During the evenings, the attendees were usually hanging out in the Sofitel Lounge, or going into San Francisco, blowing off steam.

By Friday, we had our projects done, and had a presentation and awards show showing everyone’s work, that evening. It was amazing to see what everyone was able to do in a week’s time. Many of the attendees have blogged about their experiences. I blogged about mine back in January and February on http://acuppajoe.blogspot.com/, so check it out!
