Project Involvement Timeline
Twilight Dark Ride? Sure. Why not?! As my scope on the Warner Bros. World attractions was wrapping up, I was asked to assist with some early motion explorations for this space-efficient dark ride.
The timing had been roughed in, but the media vendor needed an export of the motion data so they could start making the moving eyepoint or "squinched" media.
I modified my export tools to work for this new type of ride system. After the first pass data was exported, the ride and media vendors took it over the finish line.
