Nina und Max waren im August mit einem kleinen Kamerateam für SWR3 auf der Gamescom in Köln. Verkleidet als GTA-Charaktere bekamen sie per Knopf im Ohr Anweisungen und wurden mit versteckter Kamera gefilmt. So mussten sie andere Besucher mit schlechten Anmachsprüchen ansprechen, sich schamlos vordrängeln oder sich einfach wie “echte” Computerspiel-Charaktere verhalten. Das Videos findet ihr auf dem Instagram-Kanal von SWR3: https://www.instagram.com/swr3online/reel/DOiB9aiDDRe/ https://www.instagram.com/swr3online/reel/DOQAYq3jNJV/ https://www.instagram.com/swr3online/reel/DOA6fXYDFx3/ In dieser Folgen erzählen sie Roman von ihren Erlebnissen beim Dreh, von Schamgefühl und Fremdscham, von ganz allgemeinen Rechtfertigungen und warum das Verhalten in diesem Kontext für sie okay war, obwohl sie es sonst verurteilen würden. Zwei verkleidete Narzissten, die auf einer riesigen Messe absurde Anweisungen aufs Ohr kriegen – was soll schon schief gehen? Schreibt uns unter gjh@swr3.de.
