Collapsus

Check out this pretty cool piece of media !

After watching Collapsus I was really surprised, especially being a media major, that I have never been exposed to anything like that before. I was very intrigued that it used all different forms of media to spread the awareness about peak oil. I think that if more campaigns used this type of interactive media to get their message across it would benefit them in a lot of ways. Not only would people be more aware of the issues but they would almost get a first hand experience of how people are affected by it. I think this type of media would open up a whole new world and more producers and media professionals will utilize it in the figure. However i felt that this particular trans media project that I watched dropped the ball on the whole interactive part of the whole project, it was not exactly fun and most of the time i had no idea what i was supposed to do. There was one "game" if you would even call it that, where I guess I was supposed to tip the chair over, but I could not for the life of my figure out how to do it. The other parts were almost too simple and too easy and did not really add anything special to the storyline. Do not get me wrong I don't want this small critique to take away from the overall project itself because I feel like it was very well made and by just fixing the interactive portion of it would make it tens time better.
Looking back at the work i have done over the quarter i would have never in a million years thought that I could have accomplished so much in such a small amount of time. Ten weeks may seem like a long time, but having to create five big media project on top of keeping up with this blog was a major challenge for me. Sitting here now I am proud that i was able to see it through to the end. I really felt that this whole process has helped me tap into who I am as a creative person.
