Today we finally setup and completed the interactive art project for one of our silly courses.
Through the interaction with various objects scattered around a room, you experience the "life" of a stranger. This way it feels as of you control the narrative in a way with the somewhat direct influence of your route.
Or at least that was the concept.
In the end we ended up being less ambitious due to lack of motivation and other projects.
The game played out akin to those point and click games where you inspect every little object that could be clicked to find clues. In retrospect this is completely true, and I thank my friend for the insight as well as the great interview.
We ended up using some footage from another one of our projects that had a strange narrative about a man left alone in the world one day. The choice of music for the piece was just 5 selections from the Yume Nikki OST, which though unfitting left the room very different.
As for equipment, he choice of distance sensors was really neat and made the project function quite well. The 5 objects we used were quite appropriate, as we had a gnome and a somewhat creepy antique picture of some couple long passed. This picture was found to match up with a picture in the footage, and somehow it was like a reversed shot with the lady standing instead of the man. Creepy little easter egg there.
Also, we had like 6 different cameras and a lot of tripods for pointless video taking of the whole thing. Too bad for the 30 minute limit and memory cards being full.
