Work title: Please Say Nothing-Interactive Movie
Introduction
“Please Say Nothing” is an interactive animation formed by flip books. The story is talk about the natural and environment problems using cartoon style. The reason I combined the flip books and the interactive movie experiment was that it can give audiences more profound understanding of the idea from physical interactive and story interactive. When the audience play the animation by their thumb, they will get experience beyond movie itself and involved in the development of the story as well. 
The story is talk about a living seed face of the choices when his home has been destroyed. For an interactive movie, it will present several different endings, some bad and some good. It si just like our real life, what we do to this world is our choice. The future will change better if we be friendly for the planet.
The animation is called “Please Say Nothing” because in certain country or place, people make headlines for environment issues hypocritical, however, they still to damage the environment by themselves for their money temptation. I want to show that action is more important than talking on these issues. Therefore, I want people will do more than talk. Live or die, actually in the grasp of our fingers. 

final decision for the final show

This is my final decision for the final show-put the books on the tree branch. Tree=paper  did I protect the tree...... this is the funny contrast. But I want to say is the nature support our daily life.
For the story map, I will draw it in the wall, just keep it simple and easy to see.

I like the style of the animation. In the final show, he will live show or just show at first day? For me, I may suggest he make live show by audiences. I mean the audience can be the DJ. I think it will be lots of fun. And his animation is non linear story, so when audience play the animation the story telling is not problem.

Raquel Estevez Fernandez

The idea is fine, but I want to know what kind video will show in the screens. Is any story in the video? I know a toy call Matchstick Men, in the little screen the matchstick man can walk across the screen to another screen. Its very interesting.

Rod Dioso

The installation idea is very interesting. However, the motion graphic is not that good. I mean the audiences may not get the concept. But I’m not sure how the final one look like. For me, may be the talk show or documentary will better, because the topic is a little bit hard to persent.

To be honest, I didn’t see strong 3d when the picture changed. May be you should use some real 3d software to do the pictures. I find a online training is talk about the stereoscopic 3d in Maya

Incomplete+type but what is this mean. May be I didn’t got the concept... Anyway it looks good.

Ina Dorthea Thuresson
Her work has same style with her graphic work. For a artist which is great. Her work must put on a huge wall that can heart-quake audience.

Bill Psarras
Bill’s idea is fine. I don’t why he give up the interactive from his work. But if its just motion that should more support from hifi and projector. If the sound and image is not enough good, the audience may not be attracted.

Ran Chen
Her work combine chinese culture and digital arts which is very smart idea. My suggest the project keep low-pitched. I mean when audience watch the show they may don’t really know they are in the show. Its just like fish in the web. If it’s work that will lots of fun.

Constantina Pilavaki
I think her don’t need spend too much time in the video. Because the whole show in my mind should like a religious. So when audience in the show they should feel mystery. Its just like death and life. But this is just my personal idea.

Cheerasak Monpaneevong

His work is really technology work for me. But one thing is what the concept about this. May be it is code + arts..... i’m not sure. But if you can present a better concept that will be great.

Hong Zhang

For hong, I think the most importent thing is contrast. The idea is really easy to attract audience to stop and look. So now I’m really want know what will audience look and let them think. So just keep working.

Lina Fan
Sorry lina I’m not sure what you want to say to audience. I guess the story is about teen age love...... You didn’t present your idea clearly. And I’m worried can you finish your animation on time? Or you just want show the wireframe style cartoon? In proposal, you said your animation was repose on the magic cube, but now seems the cube was gone. If you deleted the cube, how about your story?

Julia Constantinou
I watched a show was very interesting. The artist pull on a white clothing then use projector shot the movie to the white clothing. When people look the show, the artist look wearing a video clothing. I can’t remember his name, but I think the digital dress worked in his show. I don’t know what your final show look like. But hope you make it great as well.

Chan Shin
DJ use live sound, this is what I’m really want to see in the final show. The only thing I want to know about your project is how about other day in the show. Or you will recode a video play in the show?


Anyway hope everyone have a great show, this is our last and only show in the one year(may be).....
