(Blog)15, 20 25 30 35----

Hmm ideas....... I have several that I really believe would be phenomenal to do for "the final project", but the main factors that will effect my decision are:
1. Time
2. Supplies
3. Execution
4. Fun
5. Memorable

Unfortunately, the cherry blossoms are in bloom a bit early this year :( . I really wanted to tie them into my final project( something about traveling the world/ Kean and what cherry blossoms mean to people of different countries).

As of right now my options are.

1.  Still EXTEND inanimate Alice( i could totally make it longer ;D)

2. I also wanted to have a parallel of a emotions.... As I have told everyone, i have been struggling with my feeling about Asia for a while, so i wanted to make 2 parallel games. On of the beauty the other of the nightmare. ( maybe through in a third for the aftermath)Words would be replaced by movement of others( like typing:

Stand
I

for I understand
and through in a few phases here and there. like " the frog doesn't leap far from the lily pad

3. Something fun/romantic about my mates( friends) Taking their quotes out of context and adding a little flair. I would post volunteers around campus and need the player to not only roam the campus( or library) relay(read and play??) other E.lit. in the gallery before finding a conclusion!!!

4. or sit back and meditate until something appears...

wishing everyone the best of luck on for the final!!! We are going to be on display!!!! (exciting,no?)

This project was insanely fun, I believe I worked on this almost everyday ( not like all day of course). Mostly, experimenting with different timings of the images/sequences and trying to create a few new views when it come to the background images compared to the text. Also, so it could post, I had to cut the bonus track as well as lower the grade of the pixel level :(. There are a few things I hope to change:
1. Up load it's mirrored video opposite this one.
2. Have a series of videos of different stages in the creation process(maybe)
3. Do something' more with the literary text...(Powerpoint/Flash)
if you have any suggestions for improvement. please let me know.(thanks a mil.)

Middle Kingdom is an electronic literature piece that explores the concept of memories and the emotions that are shared by them. There are several perspectives to this piece . Whether it is serious, satirical, or fun, I want the audience to 'leave with something'.I ask you to think about who/what is speaking and whom/what they are addressing? Middle kingdom can be categorized as Ambient, Kinetic, Audio, Conceptual, Parody/Satire, and a dash of poetry. To 'get it all' I would suggest to watch it more then once. Enjoy!!!
