Hi. In the San Diego Comic Con 2016 video about the creation of KJP mascot and logo, Geoff asked Hideo about the face of Ludens statue. You can check it out at Yong's YT channel at the 7 minute mark. Here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMRNdknnNzI The things that caught my attention are:
-
Geoff is extremely nervous while asking the question. Look at his hand, it's shaking. Not to mention the overexaggerated smile and laughter(He keeps it on the entire time). He knows EXACTLY that it's a touchy subject.
-
Kojima and his English interpreter(I think his name is Enrique. I think that's how Hermen from Guerilla greeted him last year at the Decima panel) are both speaking at the same time, trying to get everything under control, but it clearly looks very unnatural. Hideo is trying to stay cool by telling a funny story about Norman(I think even Reedus doesn't know the truth about Ludens). He looks at his interpreter and smiles, looking for a confirmation so that the story seems believeable.
-
Kojima states that Ludens face is based on a test photoscan of him when he and Mark Cerny visited VASG at his technology tour, but then it was later modified because it was to creepy for him to see. If that's true, then why would he get scanned again for the cameo in the 3rd trailer if they already had his photogrammetry data? It's kind of sketchy to me. Modelling his new glasses to replace his old ones would took just an hour or two. I think they wouldn't even scan him with glasses. That can mess some things with photoscans. It would be completely unnecesary to do it multiple times because afaik only his glasses changed throughout the time.
I'd like to hear what you have to say on this subject. Cheers fellow death stranders.
