Departmental Commercials

As the semester unfolded, students in Learning with Technology were tasked with forming teams within LiTT City to address the city's mysteries collaboratively. These teams were tasked with creating commercials using Rockstar Editor, an important video-capturing tool within FiveM, presenting their collective vision and findings to the wider community. These commercials served as platforms for groups to showcase their unique perspectives, share resources, and explore each other's lore.

Guided by a prompt, students worked together to craft commercials representing their university departments. These commercials outlined hypothetical problems identified by the groups as contributing to the city's mass disappearance. They explored how these issues impacted their respective regions within the city and other specific areas. Additionally, students examined past responses to these dilemmas, including the technologies utilized and why they ultimately failed. This provided a clear framework for understanding the group's mission within LiTT City and their approach to addressing its challenges. Through collaboration and creative expression, students engaged deeply with the city's narrative, forging connections and insights that would shape their collective journey, and set the tone for the city’s future.


Team Sankofa, composed of investigative journalists and historians, band together to unravel the mysteries surrounding the chaos and devastation in LiTT City. Led by journalist Sloan, they witness the resilience of the city's inhabitants despite the wreckage, suspecting a government mission gone wrong as the culprit. Photo historian and social media mogul Ariel captures the city's emotions, aiming to further collaboration and community rebuilding, while Mikami, with ties to the former government, collects intelligence to uncover the truth. As part of Team Sankofa, they navigate the city's ignored corners, seeking answers and addressing injustice. Their journey unveils a larger conspiracy behind the city's downfall, highlighting the team's empathy, dedication, and commitment to seeking justice.
The Agricultural Department's commercial proposed a theory for the downfall of LiTT City, suggesting that Mother Earth retaliated against its citizens for their disrespect, leaving only a few survivors struggling for resources amidst the chaos. They highlight how greed led to the exploitation of resources, depleting the land for profit, while emphasizing the values of community, prosperity, and change throughout their commercial. Rejecting capitalism, they advocate for embracing differences and utilizing holistic arts to spark positive transformation.

The Cayo Perico group's commercial follows Vivian, Rizz, Huitzilin & Zero as they embark on a journey to uncover truth, rebuild trust, and redefine the concept of rest. Vivian's quest for truth and assistance to others highlights themes of personal growth and empowerment, while Riz's determination to rebuild trust in society, economy, and education reflects a broader aspiration for societal improvement. Zero, a restaurant owner, seeks to redefine the power of rest and rejuvenation, emphasizing the importance of self-care in a fast-paced world. Together, their efforts strive to create a better version of their city and inspire positive change.
Pride Street's commercial sheds light on the pressing issues of food scarcity, transportation challenges, and the grim aftermath of a tragic accident outside Alta St. Apartments. The department's focus on these concerns suggests a commitment to addressing essential needs and safety within their department and hopefully the community. The graphic scene raises questions about accountability and justice for crimes committed both now and in the future, sparking discussions on responsibility and repercussions for those involved. As Pride Street confronts these challenges head-on, it remains to be seen who will step up to answer for these crimes and ensure the well-being of the community.
