In 2003, Shiny Entertainment shipped their most complicated production yet — Enter The Matrix for Atari. They released the game in all major languages worldwide, day and date with the theatrical release of The Matrix Reloaded from Warner Bros.
This keynote presentation, originally given at the Game Developers Conference in 2004 presents the tough lessons learned, tackling subjects ranging from the tricks that you can use to find or make a license, to getting taken seriously by Hollywood studios (even if you’re not EA).
The discussion delves into the specifics of how to approach a licensor or studio with your ideas, find the hook that will get their attention, deal with agents, keep the deal focused on what your team needs, and what to expect when you end up at a table with intellectual property and licensing attorneys.
The keynote then focuses on the post-deal scenario, explaining the techniques Shiny used to handle A+ Hollywood talent (or how not to handle them), work with the film crew, capture and manage shared assets, deal with studio confidentiality, and manage the day to day relationship with the studio/licensor.
Finally, the discussion focuses on production, relating how to plan to make money from the game, deliver on time, get marketing and PR support, pitch the game, get support from sales, actually make money from the game, hold onto a license, and plan for the future.
Weâ??ll begin shortly.
- Please turn off Cell Phones & Pagers.
- Please turn off anything else that takes batteries and that might decide to
emit beeps, buzzes or horrible midi tunes. - Note: This PowerPoint is more ‘wordy’ so it and my notes can be posted online.
- Please fill out the Evaluation sheets at the end of the talk.
- This talk is being recorded. GDC sells it on tape or CD.
Hello, my name is…
Production Keynote?
- Why the heck would you ever want to be a Producer!?
- What really IS a PRODUCER?
- Itâ??s not just a job title!
\Pro*du”cer\, n. 1. One who produces, brings forth, or generates.
My Investigation Continued!
I want to focus on the people that DELIVER video games!
- SHOULD be the Producer, but can be the Lead Designer, or Lead Programmer or
someone else. - EASY TEST: â??Who honestly Produced/Delivered the game?â?
- Knows the NAME of EVERY Team member making the game!
- Works late with the Team helping craft the product.
- Works with anyone else that can affect the game.
- Deals with anyone that can infect the game.
- Helps sell, promote & protect the game & team.
- Has complete confidence they can cross any hurdle.
- Does whatever it takes to help the team deliver.
\Pro*du”cer\ One who Really Delivers Video Games, no Bullshit!
A Producerâ??s Future?
Itâ??s a GREAT time to be a Producer!
- Itâ??s a REAL position of responsibility.
- Itâ??s the person everyone should trust.
- Itâ??s the person that can help people remain sane!
- Itâ??s the person who has full access.
- Itâ??s the person that can understand and make solid game decisions.
- Frankly, theyâ??re becoming valuable!
BE CAREFUL! VALUABLE = RELEVANT
Donâ??t get caught working on a game project thatâ??s weak to start.
Value a Producerâ??s Passion!
We rate brands, by calculating in PRODUCER passion.
Well supported, passionate Producers can produce more from a product, IF they are
allowed to truly FOCUS.
PUBLISHERS: Give your Best Producers a CHANCE to deliver for you!
The Producerâ??s Goal(s).
The Job (that the Publishers want from producers):
- HIGH-QUALITY GAMES
- ON TIME
- ON BUDGET
- WITH AN AUDIENCE
Then personally Producers want:
- To be able to FOCUS, and make games people care about!
- To have their CAREER, RESPECT,
SALARY & association with the term, â??HIGH
PRODUCTION QUALITYâ?, to grow.
Itâ??s also the PUBLISHERâ??S goal.
What makes a CRAPPY Producer?
Never Shipped a Title Before.
Doesnâ??t Play Video Games.
Never Around.
Couldnâ??t run a bath, never mind a team.
Doesnâ??t have a CLUE what the team is doing.
Doesnâ??t have a CLUE. Period!
Wears Sunglasses to Meetings.
â?¦

The Lifetime Award winning Producer of 2004? A Complex Person!
Canâ??t we just copy others?
You gotta be making fun games!
But sometimes, thatâ??s not enough.
You gotta be making quality products!
But sometimes, thatâ??s not enough.
You gotta have experience!
But sometimes, thatâ??s not enough.
Itâ??s not about your EGO, itâ??s about your opportunities.
You are literally being HIDDEN!
The media world runs off getting to know the names of the people that entertain
us the most!
Movies / Theater / Music / Books / Comics / you name itâ?¦
PRODUCERS ARE NOT â??JULIA ROBERTSâ?, but they can be â??JAMES CAMERONâ? or â??STEVEN SPIELBERGâ?
or â??TIM BURTONâ? or â??QUENTIN TARANTINOâ? or â??PETER JACKSONâ? or â??JOEL SILVERâ?. Names
that open doors.
The same thing happened in TV until â??Alfred Hitchcock Presentsâ?.
We are all becoming familiar with names like Miyamoto, Molyneux, Kojima, Wright,
Cerny, Spector etc.
Familiarity is the key word. (YOUR NAME can become a BRAND.)
As an extreme: â??American McGeeâ??s Aliceâ? or â??Sid Meierâ??s Civilizationâ?.
Other Entertainment Industries?
So to compare industries, I surfed over to:
WARNERBROS.COM (Movies) â?? Talent names all over the place!
EMIGROUP.COM (Music) â?? Talent names all over the place!
RANDOMHOUSE.COM (Books) â?? Yep, Talent names all over the place!!!
Having a FAMILIAR name is very very Important.
The â??WHY NEIL?â?? Theory!
To test my Theory, I went through the EA website. Itâ??s really tough to find a
SINGLE (Talent) NAME anywhere!
Went to ACTIVISION.COM â?? Bet you wish you were Tony Hawk! â?? No Developers or Producers
though.
They think thatâ??s good for them?
Bad for you!
Donâ??t believe me? Neilâ??s even a KEYNOTE here at this GDC!
Neil is bloody EVERYWHERE!
Heâ??s challenging the system.
Heâ??s writing speeches.
Taking time to help others.
Making quality games.
Sharing his knowledge.
Sharing his mistakes.
He is making many important friends.
Heâ??s becoming VERY valuable for EA.
Heâ??s doing most of that stuff!

How to get your name out?
HOW can a Producer get their name out there?
REALIZE YOU CAN BE MORE THAN A JOB DESCRIPTION.
(You donâ??t have to do what the other producers around you do!)
HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE HAVE A PERSONAL PUBLICIST?
(Someone you pay to help get your name out there?)
ALL THE FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD TALENT DOES!
ALL THE BIG MUSICIANS AND AUTHORS DO!
ANYONE KNOWN WELL DOES!
IN THE REAL WORD, ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR GAME, & NETWORK
If you have $$$, publicity is just a phone call away.

If you donâ??t have a SEQUEL of a BRAND, you are screwed!
B R A N D S
They just make shelf surfing more comfortable.
If you see a game called â??Jumpy Boyâ?, is that a good game?
If it said:
Designed by: Shigeru Miyamoto
Concept by: Will Wright
It should start to get your interest MORE.
MORE interest is the key point.
Safety from a $50 loss is what we seek.
Brands or peopleâ??s names that are Brands can help!
People with BRANDS?
Directors / Authors / Intellectual Property Holders / Licensing Agents / Toy Companies
/ TV Networks / Movie Studiosâ?¦.
THEY ALL WANT THE SAME THING:
- Safety â?? To work with people that they perceive as experts.
- Respect â?? To know youâ??ll comply with their rules. (No Fanboys.)
- Quality â?? To know youâ??ll protect the value of their franchise.
- Confidence â?? To know youâ??ll solve any problems they have.
- Reporting â?? To know youâ??ll keep them in the loop on everything.
- Approvals â?? To know they have a final say to keep them legally
safe. - Help â?? To know youâ??ll help when they report to their Bosses.
- Understanding â?? To know you are patient. EVERYTHING takes
time. - Support â?? To know you support & love their property.
- Innovation â?? To know that with you, this work is relevant.
The White Hair is Showing
Now the industry has passed a generation (Over 30 years.)
Many of todayâ??s Directors / Musicians / Sports Stars, read our industry magazines
and play games.
Finding them is getting easier EVERY year.
Many of them already WANT to be involved in games!
Them finding you is the harder Part. (So thatâ??s why they call your Publisher!)
Expect these people to come looking for you with all kinds of properties, licenses,
brands, ideasâ?¦
Branded Licensing Spectrum
There are many more ways to â??buildâ?? a license.
Example Levels of a Movie License?
- Canâ??t AFFORD a Movie license? (Catchphrase or Spoof)
- License the LOGO only, nothing else, not even music! (e.g. Top Gun)
- License movie name / characters, but not story. (Designer writes)
- Build a License. (James Bond: â??Everything or Nothingâ??)
- Make game on a KEY PIECE of the movie. (e.g. The Hoth Battle)
- License all the BEST BITS of the movie. (e.g. Lord of the Rings)
- License the WHOLE Enchilada + Actors/Crew/World. (Can Expand!)
- Hollywood makes the game. (To hell with us!)
- Reinvent the License. (American McGeeâ??s Alice)
- Make your own game, make your own movie. (Wing Commander.)
- COLLABORATION on a new movie thatâ??s being made. (Scenes)
- New Music Album Released in a Game First.
- New Movie & New Music Album Released as a Game First.
- Multiple Movies Combined, One Seriously Potent Game. (Dirty Harry)
- You personally acquire rights to a movie, then do your own deal.
- A Hollywood celebrity starts a video game team. They are your brand.
I consider, that anything FAMILIAR is a potential License.
Pitching?
1st â?? LEARN – What are they seeking? – (No Amateur mistakes.)
2nd â?? RESEARCH â?? Cheat! Who is this person? Fact Finding?
3rd â?? PITCH â?? Show this is serious and time sensitive.
Donâ??t Buckshot Pitch.
Donâ??t Pitch what you donâ??t believe in. (Donald Trump)
Donâ??t Pitch at 9AM. (Coffee & Distractions win.)
Make a MOVIE Trailer. (Not just random clips of footage!)
Make a MOVIE Trailer. (Yes, itâ??s that important!)
Make Maquettes to keep them focused. (Gentle Giant Studios)
Attach Talent. (Use http://pro.imdb.com and agencies.)
Hire a Trailer House: Like Aspect Ratio, TKO, or Giaronomo.
Keep it all VISUAL!
Storyboards: Let them SEE your plan. We did 4,000 for Matrix.
Even the Boring Stuff!
Tracking: Let them SEE where people are.
Partnerships are Key.

Summary
NEVER PERCEIVE LIMITATIONS IN YOUR JOB TITLE
ANTICIPATE RISING COMPETITION
DONâ??T GET FORCED MAKING GAMES THAT WONâ??T MATTER
DONâ??T IGNORE THE CHARTS OF BRANDED SEQUELS.
IF YOUR PUBLISHER HAS BAD LICENSING IDEAS, MAKE SUGGESTIONS!
DONâ??T EXPECT TO BE A HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITY
DO EXPECT TO BE KNOWN FOR YOUR WORK
ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR GAME, ESPECIALLY IF ITâ??S A BRAND
EXPECT AN AGENT TO CALL (IF YOU GET YOUR NAME OUT)
FOR SURVIVING TEAMS, SALES NEED TO GROW
MASTER YOUR PITCHING ABILITY
EXPECT TO COLLABORATE MORE
MAKE GREAT TRAILERS!
KNOW THAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING GREAT VALUE TO PRODUCERS!
