Role: Script Writer

In 2020 at the height of COVID, Wooga’s social media team decided to put together a campaign to bring our player community together and spread a little joy. I was given the task of creating a four part detective story to engage players in a mystery. The end product was Murder Most Fowl, a spoof of the detective genre, written with the community management team in mind.

With the brand and community in mind, I outlined and approved a four part spoof. In two months, I wrote and edited four three minute scripts. I worked closely with the production team, participating in table readings to polish the scripts and timings. I also helped to cast the role of Mrs Marbles, helped to scout for locations and make script edits on the day of the shoot. It was a wonderful experience that taught me how to edit on the spot and rethink concepts on location.

The end product was some wonderfully hammy acting that drove engagement to our facebook page and the Café feature. The response from the community was positive and we got to spread some joy at a time it was much needed. You can see the final product on Wooga’s Youtube page.
