For this attraction, my role was the Creative Show Quality (CSQ) Field Art Director. I was responsible for working with numerous departments such as creative and art directors, fabricators, IP brand management, and park ops, to ensure the highest quality product was being created for Universal Studios Hollywood. I acted as the ‘vision-keeper’ working to make sure what designs had been approved by the IP holder translated into the construction and implementation of the attraction. While overseeing the construction of the attraction, I developed a comprehensive documentation package covering all aspects of the creative and design intent of the attraction so that if any repairs are to be made, their was documentation for everything found within the entire attraction.
