B. Thomas researching educational filmstrips

Wintahs · January 18th, 2010, 09:51 AM

Brian Thomas does ingame cinematics (he worked on Hell's Highway too) and trailers for Gearbox.
He Tweeted the following today:
'Watching old educational filmstrips for research and found one about bicycling that was produced in Lawrence: http://bit.ly/6rzpdl '

Though this video is from 1950, it wouldn't suprise me if he also watched films from the 40's. It may be for one of their unannounced projects or it may not have anything to do with Gearbox, who knows.

I guess I'm just poking in nothing, but who knows, we can only speculate : D

Maybe cinematics of what happens to the soldiers after the war?

Wintahs · January 18th, 2010, 10:44 AM

I was thinking of propaganda, training videos and the like shown in their off time in Mourmelon.

Hmmm, I can't imagine what kind of game would require a video like that! Especially that would interest anyone in this forum.

All that said, how many bicycle riders nowadays don't know or follow those common sense rules?? Note, I didn't specify an age range......

''Watching old educational filmstrips for research and found one about bicycling"

Use your imagination. He probably watched hundreds of these video's, all kinds of them.

If you're talkin about German or Russian soldiers, or displaced civilians on bicycles, then that's some imagination you got going there!!

Read the Tweet. It's obvious that he didn't watch hundreds of videos with cycling instructions.

ughh

Ok, "Education filmstrips for research......in Lawrence". Does Lawrence have something to do with it?? Obviously your imagination is better than mine!

Lol. I lived in Lawrence for 5 years, hence why seeing my old town (circa 1950) was interesting.

P.S. Totally not for BiA research
P.P.S. Or is it?
