Mission Arcade footage from the Asian Art Museum!

Mission Arcade has happened at some unexpected places, but the San Francisco Asian Art Museum was the last place we expected to throw our scrappy little nerd party. Check out the video below!

Mission Arcade took place at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum as part of TAKEOVER: H.P. Mendoza

This blog post is about four months late, but that's because two thirds of Digital Crafts Night and ALL of Ersatz Film went to New York to work with IDEO.org right after the museum event happened. And we hit the ground running. (ed: And the hard drive with all the Mission Arcade footage shot by Jericho Saria and Hadrian Santos was in California) For the sake of not destroying any originally expressed sentiments, it's probably best to post the Facebook statuses from the actual night:

L.A. Renigen came up for the 10 year Anniversary of Colma: The Musical, so I figured it was the right time to have a Fruit Fly reunion with Mike Curtis. Here's a capture of our a capella ending (that we probably should have done in the actual film...oh well...:-)

And to close off the second set, Digital Crafts Night performed as part of their CD release. Here's a FULL video of "Blowhards", the new song from DCN.

And finally, an album of pictures taken from the night:

Thank you Marc Mayer and Masashi Niwano for giving me a Takeover at the museum. We had a blast. Looking forward to seeing the other Takeovers very soon!

Sooo...

WHERE AND WHEN'S THE NEXT MISSION ARCADE? :)

MISSION ARCADE B-roll clip for TV use

We were asked to make a "spot" of sorts for use on talk shows and general publicity. However, this will most likely just be used on facebook. Feel free to share. (And block off St. Patrick's Day...)

HUGO HAS WON THE MATCH!

Hugo dominated the night in Unreal Tournament, while we all forgot to take score during MarioKart because booze. Also, karaoke is unavoidable. :)

 

Thanks to everyone who showed up for New Year’s Mission Arcade! Games have always been the backdrop for our parties, so it was eye-opening to see what would happen if we actively made it a tourney. Takeaway: everything ends in karaoke. ♥

DIGITAL CRAFTS NIGHT, live at Mission Arcade

The crowd participation was unexpectedly moving. So much love in the audience and on stage. Excuse the audio, it was taken from various phones throughout the night. It was amazing to hear the audience singing along with the song. And seeing as how so many of our friends and family were there, there was audience harmony, too! From where we stood, seeing the people hanging out the windows and off the balconies to watch us as the fog coasted past the stars was super magical. Thanks to everyone who showed up. :)

HIDDEN PROJECTORS

Could Mission Arcade infiltrate different spaces around San Francisco? Would we get caught? (Would it be worth it?)

Testing out projection mapping of faces on actual faces. #IDEO
