Function:

Concept – Tim and Marley 8 yrs old

The movie explains this concept

Drawings

– Floyd 8 yrs old, Arrabella 7 yrs old

Story line:

…guide dog trainer making honey makes everything sticky – dudes help out by saying ‘don’t worry it’ll be sweet’

Function:

Interactive feature /illusion

Design challenge:

• Create wall that wraps around the permanent sound desk in the auditorium.

• On the wall create a backdrop which is a sky

• In front of the wall create a set that consists of :

- a giant tree on its side with a bee hive

- connected to a branch is a rope

- the tree has a ramp that can be walked on behind it, so that when you hold on to the rope and walk up it gives the illusion you are climbing up the tree on the rope.

- At one end there will be two dude guide dog outfits that you can wear when creating the illusion.

- In front of the tree will be a cross or station where people stand with their phone to film the users of the set.

Considerations:

• When you film people using the set and you turn your phone sideways it looks like they are climbing a big tree to get honey.

• The backdrop will need to be high enough so that an adult can stand up and still be in front of sky

Keywords for the design:

Rope climb, strength, illusion, fun, filming, social media opportunity.
