David Menkin on Artemis 2
David Menkin, who portrays protagonist Hugh in Pragmata, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming Artemis 2 mission, but he had to keep this excitement under wraps due to an embargo. Although the embargo didn’t explicitly prevent him from discussing the moon, Menkin wanted to avoid any potential slip-ups. He stated, "I didn't want anyone from Capcom to be like, ‘Excuse me, is that a picture of the moon or is that a picture of our moon?’" This careful approach reflects the complexities of managing multiple projects and restrictions.
Menkin has a notable history with space-themed roles, including playing Luke Skywalker in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Neil Armstrong in both a short film titled Moths to Flame and an audio series about Buzz Aldrin. His deep connection to space narratives is evident, as he remarked, "I know so much about the fucking moon." His career has revolved around these iconic figures, contributing to his excitement for both Pragmata and the Artemis 2 mission.
Recording Dynamics in Pragmata
Discussing the recording process for Pragmata, Menkin shared insights into his collaboration with Grace Saif, who plays Diana. They recorded their lines separately, a standard practice in the industry, allowing them to perform using each other's recordings. Menkin noted that even though Saif recorded ahead of him, he made sure to keep her performance in mind, saying, "I could hear her amazing performance at all times.” This method of working resembles acting opposite a CGI character in a live-action film, a unique challenge that Menkin embraced.
