"Fantasy" project citique

On Wednesday we had our class presentations for our fourth project with the theme of "Fantasy". Needless to say this was a rare day in class. At first I was nervous before I arrived but as soon as you enter the room and see everyone else you realize that everyone is dressed crazy and people aren't going to be staring at just you. When everyone is dressed crazy then all of a sudden the crazy one is the person is isn't dressed up, that would be our professor, shame on you. I was dressed as a samurai warrior in balloon armor. With the requirements being noise and movement also I immediately jumped to the balloon idea because I thought of  "cos-play". I've never participated in "cos-play" so I wanted to give it a try, that's how I arrived at my costume. Before we started we had to have our picture taken photo shoot style. The music helped the situation but I think that was the most nerve racking part to most in the class because you were out there on your own for that one. My group went first in the presentations and there was a ninja with me and we began sword fighting, all the while I was popping balloons to simulate a hit. The minute crept by but we made it successfully. As for the rest of the groups, I believe our group set a fight or aggressive tone because what followed was much of the same. The last group broke from the aggressive mood and put on a more mellow performance which was welcome by then. I liked a lot of the outfits and performances. Some that stood out to me were Ryan's, (he had a light saber and camouflage which reminded me of "return of the Jedi" and he didn't fight with the sword, which is most peoples first instinct, instead made a sort of light ballet, cool). Another was Sara's outfit which looked like she was being blown in the wind, very creative. Randall's "hawk/superhero" outfit took a lot of heat of of my silly outfit, cool and thanks. Overall I feel it was a success and turned out to be one of the funnest classes we've had all year, which I did not expect  leading up to it. Thank you and good job to all.
