The Krypton Factor

Straight after the aforementioned Scooter gig, I drove up to Manchester to be part of the filming of The Krypton Factor.  I had two jobs – the first was support for my libraries which are used for the graphics on the show, and the second was to oversee one of the games on the show, “GridLock”, which was produced by Mode 7 (a big shout out to JamesU for handling the coding on that one).  The show was filming for seven days and I’ve just driven back to the office.

The whole experience was fantastic.  The best part is the people.  You have about seventy extremely competent and professional people working in sync with each other.  Our game went without a problem and everyone was pleased with it.  It would be boring for me to describe just how happy the whole thing has made me, but I will just say that it is an unbelievable pleasure to be an important part of something as big, impressive, and, er, synergistic, as the Krypton Factor production was.  We would work all day from 11am to 10pm and then go back to the hotel where ITV had put everyone and drink in the bar for a couple of hours.  The show will be every thursday at 7.30pm on ITV during Januray and February.

I was working in the gallery alongside Paul Soulsby and Chris Scull.   Competent graphics-handling performances were awarded with this:
