Sort of unrelated to ATEC6351 but utilized the same technology.
The Process:
For this assignment I was responsible for creating the props for a video project we were doing. Using Photoshop, Illustrator and Rhino I was able to laser cut my cut outs. I outlined each cut out using sharpie. Then it was time for acrylic paint!
Cat for scale
The Concept:
Our synthesis focuses on the two articles “A Conceptual Model for Video Games Interactive Media” and “First Steps Towards a Unified Theory for Interactive Digital Narrative.” Video games focuses on creating a model to categorically store video games based on a set of given parameters. For the game we choose Mario, it’s a classic game that almost anyone would recognize. The article even discusses using Mario saying, “Super Mario Bros. is a highly recognized game that has editions available for multiple platforms, including but not limited to Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo GameBoy, and Wii. The Game entity type allows these different editions of a video game to be associated under what consumers will readily recognize to be a single entity, namely, the same game. There are discussed other ways to break up games into different categories as well. Using a game type for instance is the next logical choice, in today’s age both Battlefield and Call of Duty have similar qualities in how one plays them.”
The way we tell stories is always changing. Not too long ago they made “choose your own adventure” books where the reader would be able to make certain decisions that change the way characters behaved in books leading to multiple possible outcomes. With the advancement of technology, film seemed like the next logical choice to apply this kind of narrative freedom to. We therefore combined the organizing of video games with the Digital Narrative article to create an interactive narrative video. The viewer’s goal is to find Mario from Super Mario Brothers in order to store them in the UTD game library.
Choose Your Own Adventure:
Hope you enjoy playing as much as we enjoyed creating it!
