In Too Deep

by Charlotte Rothsching & Richard Mondoux

 

In Too Deep is an interactive film that allows viewers to choose the path the story will take, essentially becoming part of the film themselves.  The story follows two students as they discuss the steps they should take while working on their project in hopes of completing it on time.

 

The piece is projected onto the wall opposite viewers and receives user input through a keyboard while playing audio for each scene through speakers set up next to the projected image.

 

With multiple options presented throughout the piece viewers have the opportunity to revisit the piece multiple times, experiencing a new journey each time.  In Too Deep connects with all audiences as everyone has at some point in their lives needed to complete a project whose success or failure depended on their decisions.

 

The goal of this piece is not only to turn a serious task into an entertaining one but also to show viewers how a project goes from being a simple idea to the end product, so often seen all around us in our lives.  Through its visual and auditory project explanations, In Too Deep becomes an educational window into the life of a student.
