Incorporating travel and interviews into my work was a new way of working for me, as most of my work is interactive or game-based. It was good to get feedback from the lab, although the conversations seemed to die out after the first few weeks.

At the moment the final product seems to be leaning more toward short video, but I imagine I will continue making several more versions after this.
