Staying true to the integrity of the design
Friday afternoon I had a chance to sit down with Fallon’s Chris Wiggins, Creative Director and Brenda Fogg, Interactive Producer and talk about Skimmer. While I skim through the copious notes about advertising and design, I just had to share a few choice quotes from the interview. Besides, it’s Monday and I know I could use some motivation.
Anyway, it’s kind of nice when you can get partners to offer up these kinds of soundbites just by asking them, “So what was it like to work with the nerds?”
“Oh,” Fogg said. “I have a huge nerd crush now.”
“Obviously we couldn’t have done this without Sierra Bravo,” Wiggins said and turned to Mike Woods, who worked as the SDM on the Skimmer project. “I just want to run up and hug you. I can’t say enough about the team that came together to make this happen.”
One of the things Wiggins was most impressed by was the care taken with Skimmer’s design.
“From the very first briefing, every person had an understanding about how important the design of Skimmer was to us,” he said. “Not a single time was there ever a frustration on our end that you were falling short there. You could very easily tell how hard they [the nerds] were working on staying true to the integrity of the design and creative side of it.”
