I've just read "I, Robot" for the first time recently and this series scratches that same itch! You can really see the players warming up and getting on Lloyd's wavelength this episode.
I'm not familiar with these people, so I can't tell whether the awkwardness earlier in the session is because they're unfamiliar with this style of game or because they were still getting used to this particular session. Either way, they definitely got into the spirit of things! The last few scenes in this part gave me chills.
That last line was perfect.
Well, I must say, I didn't think I'd get this invested in A.D.A.M but yet, here I am!
Lindy, the players on your right need more time to plan/process! You are obviously very good at thinking on your feet, and the players to your left (who played Adam and Darius) were able to somewhat keep up, but the other two were at a loss for ideas/words most of this session and the awkwardness was palpable. I think if they knew ahead of time of the play session what to expect, and/or you guys took breaks in-between to give them time to process, they could add a lot more to the group dynamic.

I wanted to avoid any falsehood. Spontaneity is key to the endeavour. I wanted to show the creative process.
Those tiny reflections in the background look really spooky!
Excellent end of the episode
ADAM: "Could you do me a favor, sir?" Mark: "... yes...?" ADAM: "Could you ... look after it?" Me:
I guess it was worth waiting a month to get 3 and a half hours of footage in one minute.

I hope so!
The question of whether robots could lie or not had me thinking back to the movie 2010. There, it is revealed that the reason HAL went crazy in 2001 and murdered the crew was because he was designed not to lie; however. somebody ordered him to lie. And the conflict drove him insane and led him to the conclusion that if he killed everybody, he'd have nobody to lie to, and thus resolve the conflict. I don't know if this could be helpful to your story or not. Perhaps a different kind of conflict: Say a robot who sniffs out and eliminates sentient robots becoming sentient itself with a desire to survive conflicting with the programming to eliminate sentient robots.
Love this format. It feels like Rumple of the bailey.
Things are getting tense.
Thanks. I got only one thing to say. Tripod.

Three cameras were static, but to get the shots, I needed mobile cameras. Not easy to hold a camera steady for many hours.
The whole issue with this is that perhaps 50% of the actors have zero imagination and cannot think on their feet. it was painfull watching their 'cogs' furiously spinning to no avail.

Ironically, it's the side that aren't "cogs"! That said though, they do end up being convincing as one socially awkward techie and the other being a socially recluse vet.

Harsh. Jake's performance is realistic. Actual people do not behave for the entertainment of others. Lewis had a slow start but by the end was really into it.

I don't agree. I think the idea is a good one but the actors didn't have the legs for it.
