We ran into quite a few challenges with our project. We learned the importance of having enough distance between a projector and the screen in order for the sizing to be correct. If we could do it differently, likely we would try to have more screen space so that Judy and Ashley wouldn't be crammed in trying to dance in a small space and perhaps have the background be a bit brighter so it would be more visible. Our initial configuration with a large screen in the room probably would have worked more effectively than using the conference room because it was too small in there for a project like ours. In addition, perhaps the timing of the speakers and the video could have been better--we had trouble syncing the video and the music because we couldn't hear it from the other room (so hopefully we danced to the right time!). 

We feel that though our idea was really interesting, it could have been better executed had we had more time and resources. I think it would have been really interesting had we played with the shadows more to create shapes such as with the other shadow dance videos, and also if there were more interaction behind the scenes, such as pretending to poke a person, or having props as shadows. However, that too would require more screen space, and we were slightly limited by the size of the conference room.

However, this project definitely made us more aware of all the effort it takes to create a life performance such as this, because there are so many variable elements. It also made us aware of how difficult a shadow performance exactly is...though they make it seem so easy in the videos!
