Clip description
Stuffy old Nigel (Richard Moss) is worried about the kids being loud. Alex (Nicki Wendt) tells him that if she wants a boring game then she will hire a boring kid. The kids – Mike (Nikolai Nikolaeff), Pi (Cassandra Magrath), Bec (Frances Wang), Marcello (Paul Pantano) and Ram (Damien Bodie) have a great time when they team up to see how many ways they can trash Argo, the test game’s hero. Alex is delighted when they tell her that Argo is a dork. She then challenges them to each come up with a better design for a game character.
Curator’s notes
Nigel personifies older people who don’t understand or appreciate the energy and inventiveness of the young in a cutting edge, youthful industry, while Alex wants the kids because she understands that she needs these qualities if her games are to appeal to a younger market. The look and personality of a game hero is also of interest.
