This is a super fun idea! I can't wait to see how it turns out! Are you considering adding any kind of "costumes" to differentiate between "characters"?
I think this idea really works as a project, and its also smart because you could theoretically do this yourself. I mentioned this on someone else's storyboard, but I also think you could push your story further with lighting. Along with the spotlights on the characters, Phantom of the Opera (and other Broadway shows) use different colors of light to push the mood of the scene.
Great idea! I think this is a great and unique storyboard idea. I would agree with Taylor that costumes would help make the characters easy to identify. You could even consider adding music from the show to make your theme clearer. I can't wait to see it complete!
Interactive art is something that I find very unique, because it is something that has only emerged as a medium very recently. Other new mediums like digital illustration, 3D modeling, or even film, are based on another medium from the past, painting, sculpting, or acting. Interactive art also goes hand in hand with performance based art, in that both are usually experienced through first hand involvement, rather than viewing a product once it’s complete, like a painting or sculpture. Interactive art allows users to experience the art on a very personal level, and in a way, create their own experience based on the way they choose to interact with the piece. One of the works that I found really interesting was Fantastic Prayers, in which users can click to reveal a seemingly endless collection of media. I found that this work was basically a representation of the internet itself, in which people might find themselves on a completely different sight than they had originally intended....
The idea of “cyborg art” was absolutely fascinating to me and brings up many questions about today’s society and the way it is headed. With our continued reliance on technology, it makes you wonder how long it will be until we start to foray into making ourselves cyborgs of sorts. I recently saw an article about Neil Harbisson, a man born with colorblindness that surgically implanted an electronic eye in his head that allows him to ‘hear’ colors. I thought this was incredible, and after watching shows like Black Mirror that speculate on this subject, I wouldn’t be surprised if we start using cybernetic implants for medical or just everyday purposes. I also wonder how people might react to this and the questions it raises about ethics and humanity. If you were able to safely get an implant in your eye that allowed you to use it as some kind augmented reality lens, would you? I was also surprised by the influence that performance art and happenings were able to have on future int...
I think video games, especially ones today that are starting to utilize new technology such as virtual reality, greatly demonstrate the point Ron Burnett makes about viewers wanting to become a part of the images they see on screens. Unlike a television or movie screen, video games invite a user to become an active participant in the images they are seeing, allowing them to make choices about what happens in their personal experience with the medium. I think this kind of interactive media will become much more prevalent in the future, we have already seen for years television shows that invite the viewer to 'vote' for contestants or otherwise participate in the events you see on screen. I was also intrigued by Burnett's discussion of a photograph he took. When he first took the picture, he wasn't necessarily thinking about conveying a particular message with it. However, he later came back to it and realized he could relate it to something personal from his life. I th...
