Rev It Up Interview Series #7 - Mark Saville from Special Effects

Our Rev It Up Interview Series has returned for the seventh time and we have got a very special one for you! I had an extreme pleasure to interview Mark Saville from the Charity Special Effect! For those that don't know, Special Effect is an amazing gaming charity that helps support children of all ages and have disability to enjoy playing games to their fullest! They have done alot of incredible stuffs to raise money for the children and alot people have been donating money to the charity!   

 

Hurricane Rev - Please tell me a bit about yourself


Mark Saville - I'm nominally the person that handles the communications at SpecialEffect, although as we're a small charity, everyone has a hand in everything!

Hurricane Rev - How did you get into gaming?

Mark Saville - Most of the older staff at the charity (including myself) have been playing games to varying degrees since Asteroids arcade machines appeared in fish and chip shops, but we've got a couple of hardcore gamers in the charity who dream in machine code.

Hurricane Rev - Can you tell me what Special Effect is all about?

Mark Seville - It's essentially about improving quality of life - it's about helping to level the gaming playing field so that people of all ages and disabilities get the best chance possible to benefit from the inclusion, competitiveness and fun of video games.

Hurricane Rev - What made you want to set up a charity that you are doing?

Mark Saville - Dr Mick, our CEO, has been using technology to help with people with severe disabilities all his life, and time after time he was hearing from disabled people that what they really wanted was a way to enjoy themselves - a way to interact and socialise with others in the ways that we all take for granted. Video games were already becoming massively popular at the time and he realised that there was no-one specialising in matching assistive gaming technology to individual needs.

Hurricane Rev - What kind of things have Special Effect did in the past to support gamers with disabilities?

Mark Saville - I think the emphasis has always been on providing personalised help. We're not the sort of charity that will buy up a load of gaming kit and leave it in a hospital; our assessment teams visit people in their own homes wherever possible and work on solutions that really work for them. Sometimes it might be a small mod to a controller that gives someone with a hand injury the means to game competitively again, and at other times it might be a series of visits to someone with a progressive condition. In these cases we'll often start by modding the controllers for limited hand movement and then, as the condition progresses, we might introduce voice control, and then finally eye control.

We have a couple of occupational therapists on the team who provide the vital role of making sure that people can game safely and comfortably. They're fantastic. Often they can reposition and arm or a hand in a way that brings out a small finger movement that we can use to control a button or a switch. And keeping tabs on all the adapted controllers and high-tech out there is a challenge, but we've got some great supporters who'll alert us if anything new comes out.

It's all based on a belief that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. We helped an severely injured serviceman recently who had been struggling with a one-handed controller for six months. We managed to set him up with a very different system that matched his specific abilities and now he's gaming competitively with his mates again.

Loans are central to our work. We might find that an adapted joystick seems to be the answer on the day of a visit, but it's only by lending the kit over a longer period of time that we can be sure. It's try-before-you-buy, essentially, but we don't actually sell the equipment - as a charity we've no interest in becoming dealers, and we want to remain unbiased in recommending combinations of kit.

We're learning all the time - finding out which Kinect games work best with a wheelchair, for example, or experimenting with muscle twitch switches and brain control systems. Sometimes we're mounting switches and joysticks to knees, arms, feet... you name it, but there's no better feeling than getting it right. We spent a shedload of time helping a guy with very advanced muscular dystrophy to play CoD again recently, and he didn't say goodbye as we left - he was just too engrossed and overjoyed to be playing the game he never thought he'd be able to control again. That's brilliant!

Hurricane Rev - How has it been to work with children who has disabilities?

Mark Saville - Our aim is to focus on people's abilities, and then build from there. The people we help are the stars of the show, and their own determination to succeed is astonishing. It's a real privilege to be working alongside them, no matter how difficult it is to find the best environment and equipment for them.

Hurricane Rev - Has it been really challenging to come up with unique ideas to help support the children?

Mark Saville - Pretty much every day. We're thinking on our feet all the time, and sometimes we'll utilise some pretty bizarre solutions. For example, there's a particular brand of foam padded garden twine that our OTs sometimes use as a temporary way of stabilising some types of wrist movement.

Hurricane Rev - How do you feel when people are donating money to your charity by them doing stuffs like holding events, running, etc?

Mark Saville - Overwhelmed. We're running out of ways to say thank you! And people are raising money in such fantastic ways. For example, a ten year-old girl called Mina raised £500 doing a sponsored scoot between Boscombe and Bournemouth piers last year, and we're gobsmacked that Nik Elvy's had our logo tattooed on his arm. We're so grateful that people really get what we're trying to do. For anyone who's donated time or money, no matter how small, we give you a huge and heartfelt thank you!

Hurricane Rev - For people that don't know, how can they donate to your charity?

Mark Saville - Events of any description are fantastic - we'd like people to have fun raising money! There are still places on our British 10k team in July, which is going to be a stormer. Find out more at 

http://www.specialeffect.org.uk/events/british-10k-2013. 

And what would really help us right now are small, regular donations - they can give the charity more stability and allow us to plan into the future. Even a couple of pounds a month is fantastic. They're easy to set up on our JustGiving page by clicking the monthly donation tab at

http://www.justgiving.com/specialeffect/Donate

 

Hurricane Rev - Any plans on what Special Effects will be doing in the Future?

 

Mark Saville - Much, much more of the same. There's a huge number of disabled people that can benefit in so many ways from access to gaming, so we'll be keeping tabs on the games industry and technology as it moves on and doing our best to keep up with demand!

Hurricane Rev - Will you be attending any events this year?

Mark Saville - We've got our fingers crossed for Eurogamer, and we'll be at Insomnia49 courtesy of the splendid folk at Multiplay.

Black Ops II: First Of Many Ninja Defuses by JagerBombBx

Ever planted a bomb on Call of Duty and wondered why it got defused so early? Probably because of this guy! JagerBombBx shows us his Black Ops II skills in 'ninja defusing'.

Rev It Up Interview Series #6 - Becky Bennet

It has been quite a while since I last had an interview with someone but I'm happy to say that the Rev It Up Interview Series has return and This time, I had a pleasure to interview Becky Bennett, who is a gaming journalist who has been working for online sites in the UK and over in the US. She is hardcore gamer when shes playing games such as Call Of Duty, Halo and etc. Even more, She became a Xbox Community Ambassador and she is a huge fan of Tomb Raider's Lara Croft. She is such a big fan of her that she's Cosplay as her at events such as MCM Expo and London Anime Convention!

RIUP - Tell me a bit about yourself

Becky - I always find that question so hard lol but here goes, I'm becky Bennett and I'm from se london uk. I'm a retired model, keen singer and a freelance games journalist/reviewer. I'm also a hardcore gamer and spend half my time on my xbox (probably an understatement way more than half my time lol)

RIUP - How did you get into gaming?

Becky - I always remember my first gaming experience, I was 4 years old when my dad brought home an Atari with the hugely popular classic Space Invaders, from then on I've always been a gamer and always bought the latest consoles and games. Sometimes my dad tells me I spend way to much money and time gaming but I always have the come back of he's to blame for it lol.

RIUP - What kind of games are you generally into?

Becky - If a game is good I will love it, RPGs mmos fps I like them all, I've got a really vast games selection.

RIUP - Is there any game that you play competitively?

Becky - I love online games such as Halo and COD and I am with a clan/gaming community called DHG. I think as a gamer I'm competitive by nature so any game where I am against another team that will always surface.

RIUP - You are an ambassador for the Xbox Community. How did you become a Xbox Community Ambassador?

Becky - I was having some problems with my Xbox one day and saw and the website community ambassador section. I've always been pretty handy up to that point with solving problems to do with my console and games so I applied and got accepted within a week. I've found it a really rewarding experience to help and advise others with anything xbox related.

RIUP - Because you are a Xbox 360 community ambassador, I'm guessing you prefer the Xbox 360 to other consoles?

Becky - It's not so much I prefer it to other consoles as I own many different systems but many of my close friends that I game with online had an xbox so I decided that would be my main console of choice.

RIUP - Did you work for any gaming companies as a Game Journalist/reviewer?

Becky - I am freelance so I've reviewed and written for many online game sites both in the UK and USA which has been great. I'm currently designing and working on my own online games/gadget news and reviews site.

RIUP - There hasn't really been any real news about the new Xbox console. Are you looking forward to it and what kind of stuffs will you be expecting from it?

Becky - To be honest I'm still overwhelmed with how great the xbox 360 is and with all the latest games amazing graphics it still performs perfectly. I would love to hear more of a new console but right now I'm still very content with what they have already given us.

RIUP - You're quite a fan of Lara Croft. Was you able to get the new Tomb Raider game? If so, how good is the game?

Becky - Yes I love her, I grew up playing all the Tomb Raider games so the latest in the series had allot to live up to on my eyes as a veteran fan. It's a really great experience but I did feel it lacked some of the magic the previous games had. I won't say to much as would involve spoilers but it wasn't my favourite of the series.

RIUP - So Have you got a favourite Tomb Raider game?

Becky - It's hard to choose a favourite from the early tomb raider games but the ones I have enjoyed the most are tomb raider 2 and 3 and also tomb raider legend.

RIUP - What is it about Lara Croft that you really love about her?

Becky - Well aside from the obvious that she is incredibly hot lol I love how she's an action girl, she can handle herself in any situation and isn't worried if she breaks a nail. She also portrays a very intelligent female character which I feel some other heroines lack.

RIUP - I know E3 is a bit far away from us but is there anything that you will be looking forward to seeing at it? Is there anything that you are hoping to hear at it?

Becky - Well going back to one of the previous questions about a new xbox console that would be exciting to hear about. Also any new games such as Dragon Age 4 and Mass Effect would be amazing.

RIUP - Aside from Gaming, You also Cosplayer. When did you start on becoming a cos player and for how long?

Becky - That's only a fairly recent thing actually. I've always loved fancy dress and wasn't really aware of the Cosplay world, but now I know I love it. It's always great going to a gaming event and being complimented on a costume you have taken an age to put together.

RIUP - Are there any events that you will be attending this year?

Becky - Yes, I will be going to MCM London, Eurogamer, and Anime Con. I will be in Cosplay for all of them.

RIUP - Any shout outs that you would like to say?

Becky - Defo, would love to thank @ridentffxi for suggesting me for this interview. Have known him well over a year now and we met via the wonderful world of gaming.
