Final project

So my final project is still going to be the first person simulation of running a hurdle race. It will also involve a small audio piece of what it sounds like during a race both mentally and the actual outside noise from the race such as hitting hurdles and other runners. It will be projected on a big screen with some other elements to add to the first person experience. The only problem I think I will have is how exactly I will take the video. I am going to have to find a way to mount the camera on my head or chest inorder to get the actually first person view.

Final Project possibilities

Well we have done several projects up to this point and i have liked pretty much all of them. The only one I really didn't enjoy was the Flash animation piece. The biggest reason I didn't seem to like this piece was because it was so much information to learn in a limited amount of time. My favorite pieces would be the Google sketch up piece that I drew up and the sound clip that I put together.
For my final project I may try and attempt a somewhat interactive piece combine some sort of sound bite with a video feed that is showing the individual in first person what it looks like to run a hurdle race. I think this would make for an interesting expierence, because not too many people have actually raced over hurdles. The sound bite would be of either surrounding noise at a track meet or like the internal thinking depicting what is going through the mind of the runner as they are running.
