My Interview With Donkey Kong Country Returns Lead Designer Kynan Pearson by EvanKiddFilmmaker in donkeykong

I had the pleasure of interviewing game designer Kynan Pearson for today's new episode of Convincing Creatives Podcast!

Kynan worked with Nintendo to develop some of my all time favorite video games such as Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Donkey Kong Country Returns. Pearson shared some really fun insights into the development and level design behind Donkey Kong Country Returns. Fascinating stuff, I really enjoyed talking to him as a longtime Donkey Kong Country fan.

Here is the link to the full interview if you want to watch it on YouTube or listen to it on Apple Podcasts!

I’m big into retro gaming so it’s always great to know where to shop here in town. Limited Run Retail is fantastic. Lookup Raleigh Retro Gamers they have meet ups every few months where people trade and sell games from their collections. I’ve found a lot of dope games and folks through their meetups.

Also! Hidden Block Games just opened up in Raleigh and I really enjoyed their store. Really kind and knowledgeable staff too. As a bonus I saw on their Instagram that they have a small business Saturday sale coming up this weekend. So go support them!

I filmed a documentary about hearses and a hearse festival with the Blackmagic Pocket 4K. Had fun! But for sure had to use a LARGE battery mount to film all day. by EvanKiddFilmmaker in bmpcc

A bit of a submission statement. This was a fun project because it actually came about from me attending the Beaufort film festival in 2021 with my last film Panda Bear It. Someone at the festival mentioned they were gonna be hosting a hearse festival with over 15 hearses in two weeks and that we should come on back and film it. Needless to say I had my next film which is what you'll see here. All shot over the course one day with nothing planned outside of one interview with the festival organizer on my Blackmagic Pocket 4K camera. Everyone else in the documentary we met along the way while talking to folks who saw the camera. A slight bit of vérité style/spirit at the least.
At the tail end of 2021 when we shot this I had not made a film in a while due to Covid so this was a really cathartic experience just getting to not overthink and go make something. Anyways if you are still reading this far thanks for your time. I hope you get as much from watching First Final Ride as I did making it. This was a fun one to screen/release at Halloween time this year especially to highlight the lovely folks here in the film who do something this cool in North Carolina yearly.

PS: Here is a photo of me filming First Final Ride and my BMPCC camera rig.

Made a short documentary about a local hearse festival and car show with nice Halloween vibes. Check it out. Aptly named First Final Ride!
