Comparative films that model the type of film I would like to make:
Super Size Me (2004). Directed by Morgan Spurlock. Estimated Budget: $65,000.
o Super Size Me is an interesting documentary that although does not have a similar
subject to my proposed documentary, acts as an inspiration for the genre.
Race to World First (2013). Directed by Zachary Henderson and John Keating.
Estimated Budget : Unknown.
o Race to World First is a great World of Warcraft documentary, as such it is a film
that I may look to.
The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007). Directed by Seth Gordon. Estimated
Budget: Unknown.
o The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a great video game documentary that
follows two competitive Donkey Kong players. It is broad enough to interest even
non-gamers.
King of Chinatown (2010). Directed by Jordan Levinson and Calvin Theobald.
Estimated Budget: $12,000.
o King of Chinatown is a relatively interesting fighting game documentary, but is
too niche to appeal to a broad audience.
World of Warcraft: Looking for Group Documentary (2014). Directed by Blizzard
Entertainment. Estimated Budget: Unknown.
o World of Warcraft: Looking for Group Documentary is actually an
in-house documentary produced by Blizzard to generate buzz for Warlords of
Draenor, the latest WoW expansion.
Actor Roles:

o These gamers would be the random attendees from the E3 expo.

Various interviews of advanced gamers, 3 hours.

Blizzard Entertainment Employees
Projected Budget: $250,000-$300,000 based on similar films.
Props Needed:
Interview room with chair.
Capture card.
Computers to capture gameplay.
Various consoles to capture console gameplay.
RED Camera to capture film.
Various WoW Merchandise such as figures and other collectables.
Old Archive Footage of People + Gameplay
Background Music
Type of Film: Documentary reliant on interviews and other fact segments occasionally
interposed with gameplay. There would be one main narrator voiced by Khail Anonymous with
various gameplay clips being interposed with interview audio.
Rationale for the Type of Film: This film is not so much on the gaming culture behind World
of Warcraft, but its impact on the gaming industry. World of Warcraft has affected gaming for
both good and bad. Steven Levitt is there to give financial backing and legitimacy for figures,
explaining the benefits of the model Activision- Blizzard has adopted with its DLC. We will
interview gamers of all types to gauge whether or not the public cares about this. We will
interview various attendees of the 2014 Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3. Games other than
WoW will be showcased to underline the point that World of Warcraft has affected those games.
The projected budget was increased to compensate for actor fees and marketing.
