Project Involvement Timeline

For Untrainable, I built our show animatics using accurate performance specifications for all scenic elements. I helped Show Director Sylvia Haas determine the motions for all moving scenic pieces except for the dragons.

Once we felt comfortable with the show sequence, I rebuilt the animatics in Disguise to better integrate with our media partners. I worked closely with them sharing assets and maintaining our ground truth for our show timing.

In January 2020, I began in-field integration of the Disguise System. I was ultimately responsble for the Omnical installation & Disguise project that was turned over to Park Operations in May 2021. I also trained the park technical staff on how to operate and maintain the show video systems.
