Meta Field Trippers Podcast

RAW NOTES

  • Multi-host game review podcast recorded live from a virtual production studio.
  • Episodes should be between 4 to 7 minutes.
  • Recurring theme: What does it mean to be compatible w/ the metaverse?
  • Each host reviews & rates the same game but using a different set of criteria.
  • There is also type of "recommended / not recommended" judgement made by each host.
  • If possible - there should be a recorded video session of the users exploring the program together that the hosts can talk about together during the podcast - before breaking into their individual scoring reviews.

Show Location: Virtual Studio

  • The two hosts are in a virtual studio together with a video screen that shows clips of the things they are discussing.
  • We can just use a different location each time for now. (But should probably build a perminent one eventually.)
  • The segments that occur in the virtual studio are LIVE (or at least precieved to be.)
  • The segments that occur in the field trip worlds are flashbacks that may contain additional commentary & heavy editing.
  • PortionsFlashbacks are sometimes shown as a video playing on a screen in the virtual studio w/ the hosts talking over it.

Show Location: Field Trip World

  • Gameplay recorded by the actual hosts in the games being reviewed.
  • If possible, the hosts are in the same multiplayer game together in the recording.
  • Objective is to have fun in the game & be positive - unless the game doesn't let us be positive. :D
  • There may be additiona voice-over commentary, or even brief cut-aways back to the Virtual Studio where the hosts talk about stuff.
  • If filler footage is needed, generic footage / screenshots of the game can be used while in the Virtual Studio cut-away shots.

Show Block: Intro

  • Generic pre-recorded intro sequence.
  • Live introductions for today's show, the games to be reviewed, & the 2 hosts.

Show Block: Review - Field Trip

  • Positive introduction to the game about to be reviewed.
  • Field trip starts as a flashback video in the virtual studio, then takes over full screen. (Although there may still be additional commentary in voice-overs & cut-aways during the field trip.)

Show Block: Review - Rating Lists

  • Each host applies their list of metaverse criteria to the game.
  • Light discussion between hosts about their scoring.
  • Invite viewers to say what they think in feedback.

Show Block: Review - What If

  • The hosts discuss design changes that could alter the game's potential.
  • Ask users what ideas they have in the feedback.

Show Block: Review - Chopping Block (Recommend/Don't Recommend)

  • Each host must either recommend or not recommend the game.
  • We call in the curator (a recurring 3rd character) to remove the game from our virtual set and take it to it's final resting place.
  • If both hosts recommend a game, it goes into the hall of fame museum.
  • If both hosts DON'T recommend a game, we blow it up & it respawns in the hall of shame. (We apologize for shitting on people's games before we blow them up.)
  • If we are a split decision - it goes into the regular museum.

Additional Show Blocks

  • Having another character arrive "unexpectedly" and deliver a viewer question from last week or initiate some other small segment would be nice.
