Talking about interactive storytelling in our last class where you decide what happens made me think about the web series ControlTV. It was started by Seth Green as an experiment to try a new form of interactive media, controlling a human being.
How it works is one contestant gives up their life for six weeks and lose control in anything he wants to do. Every week the views of the show can go on their website and vote what happens to him each week. You can decide things like where he works, who he dates, who his friends are and even go into such detail as when does he wake up and what does he eat!
The results I won’t spoil if you want to watch the series but you may be surprised by what people decide to vote for.
Unfortunately the series only lasted one season, although they did get renewed for a second in 2010 but are still yet to make it. I thought it was a really amazing idea and I hope to see it again because I love stories you can control, and when it is someone’s life it gets really interesting.
Since it is so topical right now for what we are doing in class right now I highly recommend checking it out! Although you obviously can’t vote anymore here is the link to the short episodes on youtube:
