We let the audience guide our performance detailing the story of two astronauts and an alien.
This was a really wonderful performance! I loved how you used phones as a medium for audience participation, and how you kept the effects of the choices a secret until the end. It's like a choose your own adventure, but with more mystery behind the choices, since as an audience member we didn't know who were were making the choices for. I think you guys did a great job in making the performance interactive. The technology was very well integrated with the performance, and the variedness of the performance was attention-keeping and interesting. The acting/blocking could have been better, but since you were essentially working with whatever choices the audience made, it was really well done for a short show. The pauses between while voting weren't too awkward either. All in all, a great job!
The use of technology in this project was very well-polished given the time constraints of this assignment!
The way you incorporated the audience into the performance and the amount of planning that went into this project is impressive. The reveal with what the first 'choice' meant was clever and interesting.
My criticism with the project was with the dryness of the creative side of the performance. The story could be more engaging, especially with the standard you set with the interactive part. I suppose I could withdraw those reservations given how much you've put into the technical portion and that you had 16(?) different possible outcomes.
I really like the interaction of your prohect, and I am amazed by the web app you made. It was a brilliant idea to use webpages to get people involved, and your story was fun.
Nevertheless, I think the story can be more interesting. Maybe you could think more in the endings. But it is so amazing that you did that much in short time period. Awesome!
