Interactive Story telling, VU Week 02

Studied Seinfeild episode.

Received education from subject teacher on story consruction, consisting of setup of character, scene and scenario introductions, crysis, critical and turning points throughout the story that build up to the climax, or the denoument, which was not applicable in this particular session of study (Seinfeild), as it ended at a climax.

Clarified with Ben Northcotte (Visual Design teacher) descrepancies betwen clashing subject brief deadlines, and expanded slightly on what will be acheivable using 2nd life as the main tool for the Animatic Machinima project.

Discovered a new found respect for the hit sitcom show Seinfeild, due to its humouros creativity and elaboration based on a situation/scenario that you would normally dismiss with a cuss comment in everyday life.
