We are storyboarding. Imagineers start their rides with a story, and work from there. We learned that Imagineers don't just come up with a story, but they make a big whole board full of drawings, stories, pictures and ideas to make an entire story for their ride or attraction. When they get their whole story down, they make a storyboard, and that storyboard helps them design the blueprint for the ride.
We had a story and all, but when were going to design the ride, we got stuck. It was hard to figure out just which way to make the ride turn and twist. Mom was helping us design the ride, but was having trouble. Then she realized that storyboarding was the answer. She has done these before. No, she has used these before, but not drawn them out herself. We are now drawing out a storyboard for our Snow White Mine Car/Mother Lode ride. We can tell you that it takes a very long time to actually draw out each little box with the story.
We're also coming up with a storyboard for the Ode to Walt Disney train depot, but we're focusing on the Snow White ride first. We will keep posting as we go along here. Now, I have to go so I can get back to drawing and drawing and drawing some more.
More to come!
