Here's what the pit looked like a few minutes before the
Upper Year students were allowed in...
...And here's what it looked like a few minutes after.
We took pictures of this podium; it's used in the game.
Man, that was a fabulous place to watch the
action.
An eager upper-year student jumps the gun. I think that
might be Derek Crawford, Sci '99... he's the guy diving into the pit in the credits
sequence in The Pole Game.
The pyramid builds up again. It took the
Frosh 28 attempts at building a pyramid to reach the tam that year. I took notes to
help improve the AI.
We needed shots of mud and water for the game.
The pit you see in the doesn't exist. It's
a composite of dozens of shots like this. The splashing came from actual pit
splashing...
...and the ripples came from shots like this.
Al "Pop Boy" Burchell and friends savor
their part in the Frosh victory.
The pit calms down.
Deconstructing the site. We decided to
leave the orange fence out of the game, 'cuz in videogames, nobody gets hurt.
The cleanup (and the mayhem) continues.
Recognize that ambulance?
I thought I might include these guys in the background of the
Game, but I didn't want to end up in jail.
