]Content[

Here's some examples of what the web content will look like. There will also be "profile pages", which you can learn more about in the Characters section at the top/bottom of this page.

[Machinima Scene] - ]Runescape[

I'm still in the process of editing this scene, but this is a machinima recording I made on an online Runescape server. It was difficult to make, and there's still some work to be done, but I'm excited for this to be shown to audiences. This scene depicts Magdalia and Jing meeting each other for the first time - albeit under their catfish personas. I'd also like to embed this video in a way where it can be a little interactive for the viewer, or at the very least add a Back button to the main navigation map.

[Email Inbox Interface] - ]Kimberly's Computer[

The image above shows the template I'm using on Glitch. It will be edited and adapted to have a more stylized aesthetic. Kimberly (who is mentioned in the Characters page below) visits the internet on the shared computer at a homeless shelter. What is in her inbox? What does that interface look like? Who is sending her messages, and how is she responding? These are the questions I'm interested in exploring for this page.

[Live Chat Overlay] - ]Various Characters[

For this page, I'm interested in having an audience read various live chats unfolding on a webpage. These are conversations between all four characters, and I'm using it as a means of unpacking some character relationships in the larger narrative. It will fill in some gaps surrounding how these four people know each other, and how they all feel about each other.

[Text Adventure] - ]Jing & Arjun[

Arjun is a character that I'd like to explore a bit more in this project, as well as his relationship to Jing. I acutally think combining the focus on two characters can tie a lot of narrative loose ends for this project. Arjun originally intends to manipulate Jing into giving him his money, but ends up falling in love with him instead, resulting in an entire redefinition of his sexuality. I'm interested in using a text adventure format for this part of the story.

[The Actual Stage Play] - ]Written by Carl(os)[

Above are some screenshots from the actual script for [cod] ]catfish[. This part of the project will be shown for a workshop production in June 2024 at UCLA School of Theater. I'm interested in stage plays as visual documents with images and graphic design - something you can't get away with in screenplays. There are many examples out there of playwrights who direct their own work, but I think I'm more interested in becoming a playwright who designs their own plays and contributes to the visual elements of their projects.
