Proposal Form
Proposals should take the form of a video pitch no more than 7 minutes long. The video should be accompanied by a one paragraph summary that begins with the one sentence elevator pitch. The video must be submitted by the final day of class, Dec. 10. The summary and links to your video should be posted on your blog. If there is an external reviewer, they should be emailed the summary and a link to the video as well before the final class date. Videos will be shown and commented on during the last day of class. In the video the following topics should be covered:
The Big Idea: What do you want guests to get out of your designed space. This is the guiding concept and should be reasonably concrete in expression and affective in nature. It is not enough to want guests to “feel good;” the overall goal should be more specific.
The Story: What’s your story. How does your story intersect the narrative of the Enchanted Forest? There should be a story arc, no matter how simple or small, that unifies your proposal to the space.
The Experience: Explain how the guest will be immersed in the idea you have. The event/attraction you create might be either virtual or actual, but it should be as immersive as possible.
The Design: Here are the details of construction, fabrication, engineering, programming, material culture, technology, lighting, performance, script….whatever you need to create the experience for the guest.
The Takeaway: The material souvenir, the immaterial memory and the aspiration. What should the guest takeaway from your design?
Projects can be proposed by teams or individuals.
