Participatory Chinatown is a 3-D immersive game designed to be part of the master planning process for Boston’s Chinatown. Players assume the role of one of 15 virtual residents and work to complete their assigned quest – finding a job, housing, or place to socialize.
Nathaniel Hansen and I were asked to create this short doc for a presentation to Boston’s City Council and for the White House. I shot on a Cavision rig with a 7D, Canon 50mm 1.8, 70-200mm 2.8, and a 20-35mm f2.8 and Nathaniel shot with an EX1/Letus Extreme and a Zeiss 85mm f1.4.
The development was funded by a grant from the MacArthur Foundation.
