I used Adobe Illustrator to create manuals for the five parts of the entire project. Finally print it out. It is convenient for experiencers to better understand the entire process.
As collator of the final video assets,in addition to completing my own tasks, I actively assisted teammates in resolving technical issues and coordinated visual assets to achieve better visual effects.
Adjustment of the detailing process:
Final integrated video assets (part 1 + part 2):
In order to guide the experiencer to be able to switch screens and try out different effects with the help of buttons, I designed a guidance that was inserted into the computer display screen to guide the experiencer through the process.
I used chat GPT to help me create an English poem based on a part 2 scenario. And I hope this poem can help the experiencers to read aloud in part 3.
Goal:In the final stage, users have the opportunity to experience the dilemma of not being able to see their true selves in first-person perspective. The blurry human-like figures composed of particles, along with the constantly changing facial videos in the background, symbolize the fading memories of “who am I,” implying that individual lives will eventually vanish like tiny particles disappearing into the darkness.
Idea:In this section, I primarily utilized an external camera and TouchDesigner to work in tandem, capturing and recognizing faces to generate particles. Additionally, I re-edited the facial videos from the second part, gradually transitioning them from a normal blending effect to something quirky and color-changing, overlaid at the bottom. Consequently, users can vaguely discern their own faces blending into AI-generated faces during interaction, unable to clearly see themselves.

Final Process presentation
Idea:The long farewell in this section signifies the blurring of faces. As the memories of faces continue to blur and distort, it becomes the ultimate question of who they are and who I am.
Design Steps:This section is divided into four main production steps:
Design process and technical details:
Step1-AI Face Images
Step2-Face Fusion Video
Step3-Clear to fuzzy visual changes
Step4-Detail Adjustment
I added some jump words and transitions using mostly AE. Then, based on tutor’s advice in post, I used Capcut to overlay more abstract visual effects, such as digital streams and abstract graphics
