Situational Shuffle
In Situational shuffle...We went on a journey through the wonderous depths of the CBD only the cards knew which way to go,
The premise of the task was that we were given a set of shuffled cards with randomly mixed instructions on each. these instructions were read out by the informer and the subject followed the instructions once this was done the accutator recorded the action on the map.
my role was the sensor which mean't I was to observe the group and document its progress without external impact.
Highlights of our journey included a egocentric tuk tuk driver informing me not to take photos otherwise he would charge me $5 or confiscate zak's ice-cream and seamus's coffee, following ladys' in red and walking doing a couple of laps down at the waterfront.
the task showed us the difference between how a computer processes a series of instructions vs how humans in a group follow the same instructions. by being given roles it allowed some degree of unquestionable faith in the guidance of the cards. at one point we saw the difference when the group decided to interpret the command and went on a substanti
al detour, which concluded where we should have been going anyway
one of the problems we encountered was what to do if the card informs you to go straight when there is a fork in the road which minipulated our outcome to some degree.
The presentation aspect was quite a forign experience to me since I'm somewhat used to being self reliant and being in control over all the descisions.
I was somewhat dubious at first about adding in music but the selections accurately reflected the jubliant mood that was present in the group.
we were able to get a cohesive amount of teamwork by having 3 members on content creation and just one person on editing, which seems to break the usual lobsided workload of the editor, by the content creators selecting which bits the editor had access to.

Really enjoyed your situational shuffle presentation, it seems video editing is one of your stronger talents. Its interesting that this project in certain instances allowed substantial interpretation from the group. As you pointed out the cards have no instructions for what if's hence it was left to the group to decide and interpret the instruction as best they could. In some instances as we found out in the chess project one group actually tried to go through buildings making the journey a lot more interesting I suspect. The music in your situational shuffle presentation was well chosen and planned out and really gave the presentation a sense of fun that some of the other presentations were missing.
Great stuff
Although I am awesome at video editing the editing of our project wasn't mine,
editing was done by zak (hence the acreditation with link to his blog)
audio choices were done by a mixture of zak and seamus in colaboration
I was in control of video of which videos made it into the timeline editing stage (since I took them it was easier for me to sort through)
and obviously in the group brainstorm session.
