BAF: Colin Graham - Watch Dogs

This was one of the highlights of the entire animation festival. Colin Graham is a lead designer for the video game Watch Dogs, a video game about a hacker that lives in a futuristic Chicago. I personally didn't enjoy watchdogs for various reasons, one of them being that the map of "Chicago" within the game is absolutely incorrect. They put Wrigley field in the west side, and on the north side there's an entire woodland camping area that didn't exist before. It wouldn't be such a problem if they didn't call it Chicago, but they did. It seems to me they were trying to pull the fan base from GTA, even though they could have made an accurate representation of Chicago, they decided not to. Still,  I received a lot of insight into motion capture and how its produced within the video game world, Which if nothing less, is interesting.
