Entertainment design, when inspired by observation and exposure through live research, transcends mimicry, giving birth to truly authentic design. Idea Lab emulates the working processes of conceptualizing for creative moviemaking. Students will engage in direct research: targeted field trips exploring the rich cultural fabric of Los Angeles; working with actors; and acquiring data from physical research and investigating literary sources. Then they will develop their research, creating style boards and imagery. There will be four project-based trips and a final.
