Ashley Johnson dando vida a Ellie (entrevista TLOU) - Janito - 31-05-2013 The Last of Us: Ashley Johnson on bringing Ellie to life As youll find out in just two weeks time, Naughty Dogs keenly-anticipated new survival adventure The Last of Us does a phenomenal job of making you really care about its two protagonists, Joel and Ellie. Partly through Neil Druckmanns nuanced writing, partly through the tactile, reactive gameplay, and partly through the pitch-perfect performances of the voice cast, The Last of Us packs an almighty emotional wallop to go with its blockbuster action set-pieces. Its bar-setting stuff from the Uncharted studio, and these are characters that will resonate with you long after the games epic conclusion. To find out a little more about how Naughty Dog pulled it off, we sat down for a quick chat with Ashley Johnson, the young actress bringing world-weary teen, Ellie, to life. How did you first get involved with the project? Ashley Johnson: My voice-over agent sent me the audition and asked if Id be interested in doing a video game. She warned me that it was motion capture and that whole thing. I said yes, so I went out for the audition and met with Neil, Bruce and Evan. I did a few auditions and got the part. After that I put on the mo-cap suit and we did auditions for Joel, until we finally settled on Troy (Baker). How did you get on with mo-cap? Was it your first time? Ashley Johnson: Yes, it was my first. Its been really fun. It was definitely difficult at first to get over the fact that youre wearing this really strange suit but once you get into the scene and get into the character Neil would show us all the environments and wed get to see pictures of the world we were in  that made it pretty easy. Does the suit make it more difficult to really inhabit the character? Ashley Johnson:It definitely was very different for me because Im not used to it. Sometimes when youre playing a character, how youre dressed or what shoes you have on, that changes the way you walk and how you act. So when you have that funny suit on  just a skin-tight jumpsuit  and your hands are covered, and you have a sock on your head, it can be a little challenging at first! But a couple of hours in you get used to it. I actually think it helps in a lot of ways. You have to expand your imagination a little bit more, which I think is really good. Have you played the final game yet? Ashley Johnson: Ive played parts of it. I havent been given a finished copy yet. But Ive played parts when Ive visited Naughty Dog. Ive been tempted to play more but I want to wait. I want to experience it as a whole. I dont like spoilers and I dont like watching trailers  I like to play something from start to finish. Has what youve seen of Ellie in the game surprised you at all? Ashley Johnson: Its very weird. I think if you were voicing a character and then you see that person walking around with your body movements youd think it was weird too. Weird and exciting. Mostly Im just so excited that its done and I cant wait for people to play it, knowing where the story goes. Its going to be good!
