Cultural Bankruptcy in the Attention Economy

Three days of D&AD festival have been a good inspirational research for me.

This year, a lot of focus was on storytelling - which made it less stressful for me to think about not working on my project for three whole days, because some of the talks was relevant for my thesis. 

[juliesander]

I went to a meeting on Thursday for the next phase of the project with Louis - he is aiming at releasing a prototype of the “game” this summer.

So this meeting was a design brainstorm with me and 11 other people.

With the insights we got from the co-design workshop in February and our creative thinking we had to re-imagine “The Cave” which is were the kids can listen to stories about other kids who are grieving too.

I have decided to make an Interactive Storytelling. And finally found the program that is going to help me achieve my end goal.

The demo version is only 14 days, but student price is luckily only 50 pounds.

Sorting of all my interviews into topics.

[juliesander]

I have sorted all my interview bits, and written the script for my own voice recording that has to be the overall narrator. 

So this week, I will be spending a lot of time in the sound studio.

Good thing I missed that place ;)

I want the user to navigate around my project as they want to. 

However, I have structured in a way that will sort of guide the user through the “big picture” ..

So I want to make a function where the user can bounce around JUST AS THEY LIKE, by topic. 

“CLICK ON A BOX TO EXPLORE THE TOPIC”

My intro-scene so far. 

UNBOXING THE TOPIC OF MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE.

Was trying to do something that should show #COMPLICATED.

This small bit took 4 hours to render. and.. I’m not going to use it.

Flowchart

It took me a looooong time to structure my interviews in a way that would make sense. 

[juliesander]

We had to submit a sketch on Slack for what we so far imagined our degree space to look like. My first submission was this one - however, I realised that I was not a project that was ideal for more than one person at the time. And that it would be ideal if the person could sit meanwhile, as it is a project you need to “zone in” ..

A small recap of the co-design workshop I helped facilitate.

My flat line drawing becoming 3D.

#experiment

[juliesander]

So I tought that 2d in After Effects became a bit borring and not that well fitting to my project, which in its self has a lot of depth.

So I am trying to experiment in Cinema4D - which isn’t easy when you have a MacBookAir.........

The program is extremely heavy but powerful. I far from have enough time to learn it, but I think I can manage to create some scenes which with fit well with my interviews. 

This is just a small experiment - however, took 3 hours to render..... #lol
