Notes From Ralph

"I mean, there were some people that came around not too long ago, looking for some kind of, like, a VR experience... thing... with... with The Residents. Uh... and we met with them, and... they were, I mean, they were real... it was, uh, it was... a big deal. But at the same time, and, you know... um... I had a... I had a demo set-up for them to do Bad Day on the Midway, which we felt like was a, uh... a real kind of prototype for a VR experience. Um... but the problem is that, you know, the... it's all so low-res at this point, you need somebody who's willing to come in with a lot of money to completely redo it. And, uh... and these people, for whatever reason, had the attitude that they didn't want to do anything that was based on pre-existing content. You know, they only wanted new content. So, uh... you know, that was kind of frustrating."

"The money people are not the same as the creative people, you know? And, and the money people, they feel like, okay, we're going to be spending millions of dollars on this, we want something that already has at least some degree of audience out there. So, you know, something was a successful TV show, or a successful book, or... or even a successful movie at some point in the past, they think, okay, well, we start out on a higher level, because there's name recognition out there for our... our product. And you know, you can understand that, but it also stops people from taking, uh... you know, creative risks."
