I documented this project’s development on Drip, Kickstarter’s short-lived patron platform. If you’re very curious about the pre-concept thinking, you can watch or read the vlog series for this project over there. Otherwise, continue to the pitch:
“Missed Delivery” pitch
Gag sketches
Like all the Disneyland dark rides, this one breaks down into about a dozen visual gags. These are the early thumbnail sketches of the gags in Post Haste. (They read top to bottom, then left to right.)
Animatic
To properly set the pacing, I created an animatic that sequences all the gags together into one contiguous space. This is not a simulation of the ride experience, but rather a more literal interpretation of the story that will serve as a detailed reference for the final ride.
Scale Model
I printed out all the assets I created for the animatic at 1:12 scale and assembled them into a model, complete with a 360° camera mounted on a ride vehicle. From that video, I was able to “direct” a POV video that demonstrates how the ride might be experienced.
Next Steps
What comes after this? Voice actors, full-scale sculptures, a human-ready vehicle, and about 2000 square feet of space. A rideable ride.
This part of the project is…not currently scheduled.
