Script: Spectacular – Dream Big and Live It

Script: Spectacular – Dream Big and Live It

Objective:

  • Inspire guests to take action towards their dreams.
  • Chills, thrills and tears – find those Ooh moments.
  • Activism by spectacular – encourage Justice, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI)
  • Integrate new technologies and more data points to increase involvement in the storytelling.

Concept:

A first-of-its kind reactive spectacular with purpose. By optionally using calls to action, calls and response, audio and visual sensors, reactive drones and real-time and crowd-sourced footage that actively change the show, we will involve guests in the outcome and allow them to see that their actions can affect change in the world.

Film Sequence 1 – Dream Big:

Voiceover:

Practical, every day magic starts in your imagination. Are you unfolding your own story? Are you making magic for someone you care about? No matter what, it always starts with a dream. Like a fledgling bird, a dream can start small. Warm in your embrace, a dream is yours to nuture, to protect, to GROW! A dream that you will soon let loose to soar above the clouds. No matter what, it always starts with a dream…

Voiceover (accompanied by Introduction – Frozen II)

It’s time to make your magic, but to do that, sometimes you must defy the odds in front of you. There are moments where that dream you nurtured can be attacked, bitten, intimidated like a defenseless fledgling. Sometimes you need defend your dreams, sometimes you need to fight for your dreams…
