Confronted by Charlotte, Koudelka finds letters written by Charlotte's mother which Charlotte never received; learning that her mother loved her, Charlotte passes on. Elaine—who summoned Koudelka to aid her—asks them to destroy her body so her spirit can be free. Bacon tells the group how to do this, in a section of Nemeton which has been converted into a temple. The three enter the temple and find Patrick's body. James destroys the temple, starting a fire which begins consuming the building. If Koudelka does not regain her pendant, they are killed when they confront Elaine and the game is over. If she finds the pendant, Koudelka uses it to block Elaine's attack and they are cornered in the mansion's bell tower. If the party defeats Elaine, they contemplate the situation as the sun rises over the ruined mansion. If Elaine defeats them, James sacrifices himself to destroy Elaine, and Koudelka and Edward escape the collapsing tower. After spending the night together they part, although Koudelka believes that they will meet again. Koudelka began development after was founded, and Kikuta was its producer, director, writer and composer. Although Koudelka used turn-based combat on a grid and random encounters similar to traditional RPGs , this was not Kikuta's original intention. He originally planned a real-time battle system with free movement within the environment, combining mechanics from simulation and adventure games. Interactive environments, such as furniture, were also planned to play a part in combat. Kikuta later regretted his lack of direct influence on the game design. The game had English voice work for all characters, with Japan using native subtitles rather than a Japanese dub. The story required the capture of up to four people in each scene, impossible with technology available in Japan. Intrigued by Kikuta's concept, FutureLight agreed to help record the cutscenes. The game's cast provided motion capture and character voices. They were chosen from actors who auditioned for the roles, including the twelve-year-old Sara Paxton as Charlotte. Kikuta called Edward's actor, Michael Bradberry, the "mood maker" for recording. The motion capture and animation processes were handled by FutureLight and Sacnoth staff, with Kikuta the sessions' executive producer. Rehearsals, supervised by Kikuta, were held in a nearby hotel. The recording sessions were in a converted sound studio; since the studio was not fully soundproofed, recording was sometimes halted due to exterior noises. Equipment around the soundstage was used as props for the actors, so the in-game immersion would not be broken. According to Kikuta, his research for the narrative and the basic elements of Koudelka took three months; [26] the one-night timescale and singular location were due to the game's limited staff and development time. The region's coastal cliffs, ancient ruins and weather conditions influenced Koudelka 's setting and design. Charlotte's mother was based on Sophia Dorothea of Celle. Koudelka's given name was taken from photographer Josef Koudelka ; Kikuta liked its mysterious sound and lack of any specific ethnic origin. Kikuta's wish for a lonely character resulted in Koudelka's background as an exiled gypsy. Her design required several redrafts to be carried over into the game, which had severe polygon and memory restrictions. Nemeton used a blend of architectural styles, with elements ranging from its origins as a Gothic monastery inspired by St Davids to contemporary additions. The model went through multiple redrafts, with Kikuta making adjustments. In creating Koudelka 's storyline, Kikuta conceived a potential four-part series following her family through the 20th century with events and themes from the original clash of science and magic. In the first sequel, Koudelka would attend the Exposition Universelle ; the second would move to Chicago in during the late Vietnam War and follow Koudelka's grandson, Rodmell, through an urban fantasy scenario. In the third, Rodmell would travel to Kyoto in , where magic and modern life were still closely connected. Kikuta found composing the score the easiest part of development, since he primarily worked on his own. His concept for Koudelka 's musical elements were created with the setting and narrative. While he found lack of compression an issue, the better sequencing software was useful in creating the score for the CGI cutscenes. Its opening theme "Requiem" was performed by Catherine Bott. Koudelka and its publisher, SNK, were first announced in September The first of a three-volume manga adaptation, written and illustrated by Iwahara, was published in November by ; the third volume was published in September The Japanese gaming magazine compared Koudelka 's atmosphere to Western horror films. GamePro found the turn-based battles too slow for enjoyment, [51] a sentiment echoed by the Dutch magazine Power Unlimited. Although Famitsu praised Koudelka 's CGI movies and art design, one of its reviewers found some areas too dark to navigate easily. Eric Bratcher reviewed the PlayStation version of the game for Next Generation , rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "A solid horror title that could have become a great game with more suspense and a few tweaks. Still, its unique feel makes it worth a look. Sacnoth is one of a group of video-game companies—with , Love-de-Lic and —founded by Square staff who had worked on notable titles produced during the s.

Koudelka: Gypsies - Aperture

As a documentary charts his journey where Israel and Palestine meet, Koudelka talks about challenging official narratives — and himself. He has pointed his lens at one of the concrete barriers that separate Israel and Palestine but has been stopped by an official and a heavily armed soldier. His local assistant, Gilad Baram, is trying to smooth things over. He is a photographer with an agency called Magnum. Suddenly the atmosphere changes. A short discussion later, a friendly handshake and all is well. It is one of many quietly absurd scenes in Koudelka Shooting Holy Land, filmed on lengthy visits Koudelka took to the region between and , making work that was published in the book Wall: Israeli and Palestinian Landscape. The film had to reflect that. Baram was a photography student when he was assigned to help Koudelka, one of 12 international photographers invited to the region to participate in a group project, This Place. Initially, Koudelka was very suspicious. But as he and Baram spent time together, he began to trust him. In the evenings he was much more down than me, because of what we had seen. Then Koudelka found himself deeply interested in the barrier built by Israel in the West Bank, which struck a chord because of his own experience of living behind the iron curtain. But he refused suggestions of who to meet, preferring to discover the land on his own terms. I have this experience from Czechoslovakia. First of all I want to see by myself, and get to my knowledge through my eyes. Koudelka, who was in his 70s on these trips, worked long hours every day, walking along both sides of the barrier, speaking with those he encountered and taking photographs of the landscape. He returned to the same places over the years to see them at different times of the day or year, or in different weather. Between and , Koudelka travelled throughout Czechoslovakia and rural Romania, Hungary, France and Spain photographing widely known in English by the exonym Gypsies. He had returned from photographing gypsies in Romania just two days before the Soviet invasion, in August Prague Photographer for fear of reprisal to him and his family. Koudelka's pictures of the events became dramatic international symbols, and came to be "recognised as one of the most powerful photojournalistic essays of the 20th century". Many of his photographs of these events were not seen until decades later. With Magnum to recommend him to the British authorities, Koudelka applied for a three-month working visa and fled to England in , where he applied for political asylum and stayed for more than a decade. He continued to wander around Europe with his camera and little else. Throughout the s and s, Koudelka sustained his work through numerous grants and awards, and continued to exhibit and publish major projects like Gypsies and Exiles Koudelka has had many other books of his work published, including in the retrospective volume Koudelka. He and his work received support and acknowledgment from his friend the French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. In , Koudelka became a French citizen, and was able to return to Czechoslovakia for the first time, in Koudelka lives in France and Prague and is continuing his work documenting the European landscape. Koudelka's early work significantly shaped his later photography, and its emphasis on social and cultural rituals as well as death. He soon moved on to a more personal, in depth photographic study of the Gypsies of Slovakia , and later Romania. This work was exhibited in Prague in Throughout his career, Koudelka has been praised for his ability to capture the presence of the human spirit amidst dark landscapes. Desolation, waste, departure, despair and alienation are common themes in his work. His characters sometimes seem to come out of fairytales. Still, some see hope within his work — the endurance of human endeavor, in spite of its fragility. His later work focuses on the landscape removed of human subjects.
