Letters to Santa: Jaxy Rai and Zoe Zimmerman




"I'm not fucking doing that. Sorry, Zo, but I'm not into that sort of gayass shit, okay?"

"Oh, come on. It's just like making a wish, or a prayer... if you believe in that crap. Writing it down gives it more weight. Like... it has more power."

"Like the power of The Secret?"

"Yeah, just like that."

"Fuck sakes."

"Humour me, okay. Just play along. I'll throw them away after we're done. I don't usually buy into this sort of thing either, but it couldn't hurt, right?"

"No, I guess not. I'd try anything right about now."

"Good girl. Here's your sheet."

"Thanks."





Nothing for me this year, Santa. I've already got everything I need, and I can take care of myself. As long as I have Zoe, I'll be fine.

Well, you could help me out with that whole serenity, courage, and wisdom thing. Especially the wisdom. I'll be needing that. You know, to know the difference, and all that shit.

Jaxy







Dear Santa,

Please help Jaxy get better. That's all I ask.

Thanks,
Zoe

I forget where I saw it, but I was watching some little special documentary type thing on how they did the animations for this game, and (this is sort of a duh) they used real people hooked up to computers with wires stuck all over them and it transferred their movements to the computer and made an image. Lots of times they tried to make the animations goofy on purpose as befits a computer game, but sometimes I think the realism really does come through. :)

Yeah, they use motion capture, I think. That's pretty cool.

They definitely do play up the goofy flamboyant movements, even for the sensible animations, which is fun.
