"Indie Booth: The Movie" shows a side of the video game industry we rarely talk about, booth-building.

Unknown Worlds, a San Francisco-area developer, decided that they were going to build their own PAX East booth to show their upcoming game, Natural Selection 2. Knowing that most publishers have the budget to hire carpenters that will build whatever kind of crazy structure will help sell their games, the team decided to record their novel experience.

Needless to say, the experience looks like it was an incredibly difficult task - There were of unforeseeable technical problems popping up, which these untrained builders had to deal with.

Just goes to show that, no matter what you do, there are certain skills that are just always good to know.
