GAMES for CHANGE 2008 – New York

June 13, 2008 by thetenproject Leave a comment

An unbelievable week, an amazing conference, a giant leap forward for the project and confidence booster. I had a wonderful meeting with top game designer, author and producer Matt Costello (Doom3, numerous Disney projects and countless other successes), who has experience working with the ten year old age group, was very supportive and is helping us brainstorm. While we follow up card game play between São Paulo and New York, we’re also dangerously close to starting tech development of our first online browser game prototype.

now I have to type up all these notes – yelp!

SÃO PAULO > TICK

Extraordinary São Paulo. Sad to leave, excited to think of returning, happy you’re in the game. What’s even more extraordinary is that all TEN’s São Paulo goals were achieved, the card game was designed, made and tested, organisations and after school groups were befriended, kids were interviewed and ridiculous amounts of fun were had.

This vlog was recorded at the airport leaving Brasil:

This is a visual representation of São Paulo, made mostly from the pictures I took while there (minus any sensible sense of composition)…

Shooting the new TEN film in Rio de Janeiro

June 6, 2008 by thetenproject Leave a comment

We were fortunate to have Brasil’s up and coming new director Calvito Leal (of acclaimed documentary ‘Simonal : Ninguém Sabe O Duro Que Dei‘) direct the Rio segment, and for it to be shot by cameraman Fabio Cascão (from the classic US Reality TV Series hit “Survivor”). It was the perfect ending to TEN: SÃO PAULO – round one.
