00:33Defiance is actually two things
00:34One is a serialized drama for television
00:38and the other is a massive multiplayer online game
00:41Both properties are tied together and work as one
00:44The game of Defiance takes place in San Francisco
00:46And the TV show takes place in St. Louis
00:49But it's a shared universe
00:50The events of that virtual world will actually affect the story
00:54and the world of our show and vice versa
00:56There's never been a time when a television
00:59network and a video game company
01:02have come together from the start
01:04to create something like this
01:05It's never been attempted before
01:06It's truly at the forefront of immersive
01:09storytelling experiences
01:11It's the holy grail of entertainment
01:15The show is essentially a show about hope
01:18There is that post-apocalyptic
01:20Western and sci-fi element to it
01:23St. Louis has been buried under
01:25hundreds of feet of earth and debris
01:27This new town has been created on top of the old town
01:30But the one familiar element is
01:32the famous St. Louis Gateway Arch is still standing
01:35The population of Defiance is really a melting pot
01:37And that's kind of at the heart of the show as well
01:40which is that it's essentially kind of an immigrant drama
01:42The show is epic and Shakespearean in its themes
01:45It has courage, it has danger
01:47The characters and the dynamics are so rich
01:50and the story is so kind of
01:52It sounds weird, anything with aliens in it, but human
01:55The people in this town are aspiring to rebuild
01:58and not just survive but to really live in this world
02:01My character Nolan comes to Defiance by accident
02:05He's an outsider and not particularly good with people
02:09The sense of hope he finds in Defiance
02:11is almost like a shot at redemption
02:13Amanda's a new mayor of the town
02:16and she has to keep the peace
02:17amongst all these people trying to coexist together
02:20We have some amazing creative talent that are bringing this world to life
02:24The prosthetic special effects and visual effects teams have been working very hard on this
02:29It's incredible what they've been doing
02:30We are building the entire town digitally thanks to Gary Hutzel
02:34who did the visual effects for Battlestar Galactica
02:36Defiance is going to be a different television show than anything that we've seen before
02:41The bringing together of this alien environment with the human environment
02:44And making those blend naturally for the audience
02:47It's going to be very exciting
02:48Production designer Stephen Gagin is developing the look of the town
02:52What excited me about the project was the sheer scope of it
02:55And that was just phenomenal
02:58Like we're building a town which is huge
03:01And then we're building a world beyond that
03:03What people are going to see when they tune in to Defiance is epic world
03:07This extraordinary landscape that's both familiar and unfamiliar
03:11Big action and intimate character drama
03:14There's a big sweep to it
03:15What we're attempting has never been done before
03:17And that for me as a designer is extremely exciting
03:21MMO Gaming stands for Massively Multiplayer Online
03:25What that means is you're playing on the same game space with thousands of other players
03:29Online gaming is one of the fastest growing segments of the entertainment industry
03:33We're going to be launching on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC
03:36It allows us to hit a huge broad market
03:40Players enter the world of Defiance as what we call an Ark Hunter
03:43They can help establish law in sort of the frontier town of San Francisco
03:48Players will build their character
03:50They can do some customization up front of their look
03:53Getting new weapons and new abilities
03:55They are coming up against alien monsters or factions that want their destruction
04:01In Defiance we can present the player with a really unique experience
04:04The level of control that we can have over simple things like weather
04:09Can dramatically affect the gameplay and the look of the game
04:12And the level of immersion that players have
04:15You have a pixel perfect shooter, vehicle combat, but also online persistence
04:20You can level up, the story never ends
04:23It is one of the most exciting online games ever created
04:29The gaming world has been pretty rabid for more news on Defiance
04:33Hands down Defiance is the game Trion's asked about the most
04:38The experience of one is going to enhance the experience of the other
04:42In ways that are both overt and also very subtle
04:46Immersive stories on two platforms that are seamlessly living together
04:50The real crossovers happen while the season is going
04:53Since we planned from the very beginning to do this
04:55Things like a character leaving the game and going to the show
04:58And talking about what they did in the game
05:00You have the same vehicles, the same technology, the same flora, the same fauna
05:04You can inhabit the world as a player that's actively moving through the world of Defiance
05:10And you can turn on the TV and sit back and watch great drama unfold
05:15We'll be transitioning from the real world to the game world and back again
05:20The show and the game constantly reinforce each other
05:23And battles in the game might change the outcome of the TV show
05:27Big events in the TV show are immediately reflected in the game
05:30It's just a really amazing way to have that fan interaction
05:34This level of interconnectivity between the two mediums
05:37Creating this sort of super product is part of the fun of working on Defiance
05:43It really allows both companies to bring what they do best to the table
05:48And create something that has never been done before
05:50It is one of the most groundbreaking entertainment experiences ever created
06:00Its Italian youtube conducted looks already
06:03This is the most beautiful там town
06:03This is the most beautiful town of Scotland
