Process

We first started with choosing a theme: End of the world. We wanted to have a performance that would have different features such as both a musical performance and acting performance. Our initial idea was the musical and the video in the background. We were planning on using Leap Motion to connect the two. As Cloud plays the cello faster, the video would speed up. When Cloud played slower, the video would also slow down. However, that didn’t work out since we couldn’t find the library we were planning to use to connect them. Then we added acting to bring a different view to the performance. The performance now represented two types of people; the ones that give up without a fight and accept the facts immediately, represented by Cloud, and the people that try to make things better and fight against it, but become tired at the end, represented by Jonathan.
