Interactivity and Isadora/Editing

In keeping with the simplistic nature of the project, I decided it would work best if the viewer/user could interact by having control over SOME degree of the narrative, which I achieved by creating clips of repeated actions which randomly change when the space bar is pressed. This would occupy the middle window and the two outer windows hosted a set 'narrative' in which the subject goes through various stages to 'womanize' himself.

Although I found Isadora quite intimidating and frustrating to use,(especially when it froze), I had no
other option but familiarise myself with the software as I wanted to incorporate user interactivity into
my piece. I do realise the potential in the programme however, and would like to be able to incorporate motion detection within my work in the future.

I carried out all of my editing in After Effects as I found this programme more straightforward compared to Premier. The editing mainly consisted of joining all of the shots together for the two outer windows, and trimming some videos to keep the piece as fluid and aesthetically pleasing as possible.
