Video about Recording Dialogue for Frog's Princess

Kathy has the honour of speaking at GCAP 2020 this year.

The problem was, she had proposed doing a skit and powerpoint presentation, and they gave her 18 days to come up with a video!

The South Australian Film Corporation kindly supplied the "small" sound stage at Adelaide Studios (it was huge), and she hired a camera, lights, and mikes and all sorts of things in many bags with many cables which Kristian Leadbeater wrangled.

Voice actor Gabriel Allani pretended to be a voice actor (!) and actor Dylan Warren (also a voice actor) acted as the recording engineer.  Kathy was a bumbling producer doing everything wrong.

We filmed 22 minutes of video in one day.  Kristian edited it, splicing an additional 7 minutes of powerpoint slides into it.  Kathy recorded the voice-over and put some of Christian Paterson's wonderful music for background music.

She co-opted her AGD discord co-founder Arthur Ah Chee to help answer questions at the end, as he used to work at the Impala TV station in Alice Springs.

Supporting material to help other game devs with dialogue recording sessions is available on Kathy's designer website: https://kathysmartgamedesigner.com/recording-dialog.html

The best part about the whole exercise is that Gabriel Allani produced a Wilhelm scream which will be made available to GCAP game devs for free.
