In today’s theme-park themed episode, we talk about what we can learn from amusement parks about story and more. Topics include the journey of waiting in line, the impact of production design, and creating the whole experience from start to finish using narrative, voice, world, sound and all the senses. We discuss the ways those 3D rides both fool and fail to fool your senses.
We also talk about structure, deadlines and motivation: reasons to take a class, even in your area of expertise, and the similarities and differences between classes.
