ok... sorry... i mean for the story is if you make up your own character... like if you make up a Figment or a Orange Bird type characters, that dont have connnectiosn to movies or attractions, like if you do teh Head Salesmen you wont have to do a "story" b/c he is in the attraction... but if you made up your own character like Captain ___ , a traveling pirate, you have to do a backstory and such...

So really its just Theming (in queue and decor) and characters...

also feel free to somehow make the queue interactive like the Tinkerbell meet n greet...

sorry for the confusion... I really didnt think this project would cause so many question...

taht is totally ok... you dont have to just draw
you can find pics on the internet of your idea somewhat..

like if were going to do a meet n greet in a grotto with waterfall you could find a pic of a grotto and a waterfall and some props that would be around the area...

just as long it strengths your idea and "runthrough" and helps me and the judges understnad it more... and its not a REQUIREMENT, its just suggested.

oh sorry the DEADLINE IS MONDAY AUGUST 10th... sorry i did the wrong date...

sorry one last question. is concept art an added bonus or if it's just plain awful does it have the potential to hurt our projects? Or is it just there to help the judges visualize?

thanks

As a Judge, I will say that concept art will not hurt, but a lack of concept art probably will. However, if you have VERY vivid use of language to describe your designs, a lack of concept art may be "acceptable". If you descriptions are not vivid and full of detailed imagery, and you provide no concept art, I can say that you will probably get a low rating -- from me anyway, and also depending how the other participants do.

So, moral of story: Concept art will be your friend. :)

Posting "awful" concept art would definitely NOT hurt your projects. Not everyone out there is an amazing artist, so we're not judging the competition based on the contestants' artistry. Also, you do not have to draw your own art. There are plenty of other visual substitutes on the web (I.E. Google Image, Flickr, Deviantart) that has loads of images that could potentially help describe your idea better.

I wouldn't really consider it a bonus, either. However, it really does help the judges visualize your idea better and it could be what helps put your project above someone else's.

I agree with KingMickey... Lack of concept art will not hinder you neither will "horrible" concept art hinder you... and it will not give bonus points either...

I agree with Wannabe Walt as well where if you use detailed words to explain your idea then concept art may not be needed, but if there is no concept art and your not that detailed for me it willbe lower ranked because im not understanding the concept...

also you dont just have to draw as ive said, use pictures if your not an artist... i by far AM NOT and artist and i have used "concept art" in my presentations... if doing a movie themed set, look for screencaps fo the movie to maybe help influence, or (though this isnt feasible for this project) i always do a floor plan just do a visual, though it is mostly for my attractions that i have done, and if you have read some fo my stuff on this board you will see i rarely post pics, i post floor plans...

Also remember your character can meet you infront of a blank wall, it has to be themed and themed well... Because for me this project is about theming and the Art of Visual Storytelling... (ps im using Designing Disney by John Hench to help my criteria for the projects)

My question on the bolded above: how does the story have to prove the connection to Adventureland? I can understand theming it appropriately to fit under the land's open genre, but fitting it in storywise is a little more difficult, considering the land consists of at least four attractions that have little to no connection to each other. In terms of theming, my concept fits and meshes with the area quite well, but the story doesn't specifically address Adventureland--moreso, it addresses the concept of adventure.

As long as you can somehow tie Adventureland into the meet n' greet, you'll be fine. You can fit it into one of the rides' areas, or you can use an area of a ride as a jumping off point to transport you into another Adventureland theme. But no, you can't plop random native #6 into Magic Carpets because he's from Adventureland.

Also if you can't afford Photoshop...Paint.net is a GREAT free alternative.

This Monday night is the DEADLINE, so tuesday the judges and i would be Ranking and giving our opinions... then hopefully tuesday nite or wedndesday i will eliminate and Wednesday i will post the next project...

So if you post it before the deadline it is ok... if you post it after the deadline you will be deducted a point from your final score per day, and if you are later than 3 days you are eliminated... Unless you say that you are on vacation beforehand and such..

Jasonflz i dont care when you post it i was just giving you advise on when to post it... some people (not all ppl) are paranoid taht someone might see their idea and take it and that is why they wait till the day b4 or the day of due date..

i can tell you that this will be the ONLY project that you will have done WAY before due date... as we move along these will get progressively harder...

Shrunken Ned’s Wild Meet’N’Greet:


Located at the closed Adventureland veranda is Shrunken Ned’s Wild Meet’N’Greet. The area is themed to look like a shack in the middle of the jungle. The shack is enclosed so guests have to venture inside to meet the characters.

Backstory:


The story goes like this, Jungle Cruise captain Ned (or Shrunken Ned as his reputation precedes him) has returned to the jungles of Adventureland after a 12 year trek across the rivers of the Amazon and is going to share his discoveries with anyone willing to visit at his shack. Not only does his shack contain wonders not imagined by any mere person, but it also features some funny characters that have returned with him. This story is backed up with letters and documents shuffled around the shack.


Look:


The exterior of the shack is made to look like it is straight out of the jungle. It somewhat resembles an African style mixed with Congo. Small details can be found anywhere. The wood on the left side of the entrance is carved to resemble various animals on Ned’s trek. You might also notice various diamonds carved into the wooden floor to match with the ground detail of the Adventureland plaza. The interior really is unique, however. The floor is covered in a large rug that definitely looks like it is not from anywhere familiar. Lining the walls are various collection of treasures including shrunken heads, tiki idols, rare butterfly's, and much more. Most of Ned's "treasures" tie in some way with the Jungle Cruise and the Agrabbah Bazzar. There are also many jewels and skulls, tieing it in with Pirates Of The Caribbean. At the far end is a makeshift fireplace. Guests might also want to look above to see animatronic bats and long vines hanging from the rafters. There is also various painting of what Shrunken Ned encountered along on his visit and a massive bookshelf that looks to be carved out of indigenous trees. The room is lit mostly by windows on the roof and little lights along the wall. The fireplace is lit at night.

Characters:

The greeting area is located next to the fireplace. Among the meet and greet characters are some familiar faces like Baloo and King Louie. More original ones are shrunken Ned's indian trader friends and a few explorers that show up.


Below is what the exterior should look like. (with a few changes and on a much larger scale)

Also, here is a small concept map I did. It features items and the logo.
