The story
Aliens arrive on Earth with a mysterious device called the Prompt Machine. Their challenge to humanity is simple yet terrifying: create captivating stories from the shadows cast by the machine. If the stories fail to impress, the aliens will activate their dimension weapon, compressing 3D humans into 2D cardboard cutouts.
The scene: Prompt machine
shadow of the prompt machine, and 2d human cardboards
- Red Light: To distinguish our scene from the surrounding evening lights and create a dramatic, attention-grabbing atmosphere, we placed a red gel filter over the original white spotlight. This shift in lighting intensifies the mood and sets the tone for the experience.
- Music: We enhanced the sci-fi atmosphere by playing ambient techno tracks produced by DJ, blending seamlessly with the visuals to immerse the audience in a futuristic vibe.
- Human Cardboards: Crafted by Lejing, the cardboard figures represent failed, non-creative humans. These figures serve as the "raw material" for the shadow stories, symbolizing what happens when imagination falters.
- Countdown: To heighten the tension, we set up a ticking bomb countdown on the side, made by Vio, adding a sense of urgency and pressure to the overall experience.
Humans, filled with nervous anticipation, crafted their own stories in a desperate attempt to impress…
and their final works, with their own stories created..
aliens are impressed by the stories…humans survived
