Steve Mcqueen

Steve Mcqueen plays a game of Skill Pool.  Skill Pool has flippers but Steve doesn’t use them (too cool?).  Likewise, you hear very little from the machine – just enough for one to get the sense of pinball but not so intrusive that the two characters can’t hold a conversation.

A similar situation came up just prior to IFPA 7.  I helped arrange an interview of Mads Kristensen by the local CBS news affiliate. (pics) and they tried to interview him while he played on a woodrail.  It became obvious within a few seconds that it was impossible to conduct any sort of interview that could be aired on television while a game was being played.  They ended up recording audio of the pinball game later and mixing it in and Mads just pretend played while he answered questions.
