There´s some footage of Pat Lawlor at his desk as well (and I have to say, his setup looks wildly unergonomical, with the screen to the far left and the mouse on the far right).I really wonder if Pat would design the new table just on his traditional workflow setup, and the Silverball guys convert it into their engine, or if he works directly on their setup. I assume Lawlors CAD program must be a bit more complex, but having the data in the authentic CAD format, from which it could theoretically be made into a real table would be interesting.(video in the next post due to posting restrictions)In the promo video for Road Show you can see his workplace looking more like an actual pinball designers studio (the one at Stern looked a bit like his place to do his taxes), with the empty playfields in the background. The segment where he says "the market for pinball in general right now has changed dramatically from two years ago" with the very ominous zoom on the bulldozer throwing a pinball off the highway is quite heartbreaking.<a href="http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2009/01/gamesetinterview_pat_lawlor.php" target="_blank">And a great interview by GameSetWatch.</a></blockquote>
