Remember that Sony ad that everyone was making a fuss over a while back? The ‘Long Live Play’ ad that had everyone saluting ‘Michael’? The one featuring real life representations of Solid Snake, Kratos, Nathan Drake et al? Well the production company who helped create it has released some behind the scenes photography of the shoot, and it’s quite interesting. My favourite shot? The one where ‘Nathan Drake’ had to stand on a box so he can look taller than ‘Lightning’ from Final Fantasy XIII.
This is Kratos wearing a nappy.
This is a suitably feminine Cloud from FFVII.
Nathan Drake standing on a box because he’s a short arse…
I have no idea what’s going on here, please drop your captions below!
You can find the rest of the images here.
Thanks to iheartassassinmaids for sending it in!

Monday, February 6, 2012 at 10:15 AMYou’d be surprised just how many leading actors have to stand on a box for many scenes. It’s a very common practice in movie making.

Monday, February 6, 2012 at 10:36 AMYes, but we try not to let reality get in the way of a chuckle.

Monday, February 6, 2012 at 11:32 AMThat was a pretty great ad. One of the best gaming ones I’ve ever seen. Even the most bitter, hate-filled Sony detractor had to admit that.

Monday, February 6, 2012 at 11:36 AMMan, that Drake dude actually looks really good. Kratos could use a little more makeup – but otherwise pretty freaking badass.
Cloud looks shite – Dont know why they try to replicate that unrealistic hair. Short back sides and spiked on top would look better than a wig.

I feel like I should know who this guy is.

Monday, February 6, 2012 at 8:22 PMOh yeah, I agree. I wasn’t trying to be a wet blanket or try to ruin the joke. =D
