This is a story that comes with luggage. I raised part of this in an article I wrote (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2023/07/31/a-wild-side-to-creativity/) which I created in July 2023, so it is almost 3 years old now. I raised the setting a few times more. There was a setting that could benefit Disney and Universal, but I tonight I saw an article which gave me ‘Ackman pitches $65 billion UMG deal to move listing to US’ and things started to click in a few ways. You see, the industry (the one related to Tinsel) will require a large reset in a few years and the best way to get the concentrated benefit is to educate the young of today as they will inherit that industry the day after tomorrow. When you realise this things becomes rather simple. To give you the setting, I handed that setting in ‘A Wilde Side to Creativity’ and a few times after that. You see, the Miral Group has an option here to branch out. Consider the setting that I gave in relation to Harry Potter and a few other settings, we get the presumption that could be there tomorrow (in a desert far far away). You see, the origins were created by Macromedia and taken over by Adobe. That program got scrapped in 2013. But I believe that this might have been an error. (Perhaps a shortsighted move might be a little more appropriate). Consider the world that we have at present and the reset that is likely to come in a few years. That implies that you should train the youth off today and see if they can create the options that are needed. To explore that, you need a form of prototyping. And a program like Adobe Director might just do that. There is no doubt that it might need a little tinkering. Consider that those programs tend to be cheaper as they were made redundant.
But I am getting ahead of myself.
In the setting I had in mind, I had originally create a setting with stage pages and fridge magnets of characters that we know. I focussed on the HP range (about a boy with a scar) and the stages were plastified placemats (in my mind). A character was placed on point A and that character was placed on point B with a point in time and the systems creates a timeline for movement (like Flash did) for that character. Now you do the same for character 2,3 (and so on). And as we get these timelines we get an animation. Now the creator can add text balloons (or even create a soundbar), for these timepoints.
Now consider that on the stage, these ‘O’ points are places where the illustrious Harry is standing, the time dilation will create movement from the start point to the end point. So as we add characters, they will move in their own pace in a way you design it. And as such we get the first inkling of what a director is doing. Set the stage and the characters. And the text balloons will be the conversation and over time they will add voices and voice bytes to that setting and we now have a sound stage added to all this. And the fantastic point is that children can operate this. As the stages become more complex and numerous, the young entrepreneur is starting to become and think like a director, like the original Macromedia product envisioned in 1987. In those days hardware was limiting, now the hardware of a mobile is top notch, consider what the PC, Mac or Playstation even the Nintendo can become the director to be tool of choice. And as we go from real product towards online libraries, the capture becomes almost unreal. The setting that this can go from direct, towards a created MP4, the entire setting changes even more. And this is more than playing a homage to the original creators. This could be the spark that creates tomorrow’s directors, cameraman and sound people. And the Miral group could even set groups of people in one of their parts creating additional visibility to all their parks as these standings could be done almost anywhere, even in Yas Mall. An entertaining setting that will promote the future of tomorrow by the population of tomorrow. And as the libraries of characters and stages are added over time, there is every notion that we can get a whole range of new storylines and added graphics to what is now. A setting I saw over a decade ago and there is every consideration that we might see the light of new ideas by a new population of entertainers. I am not telling what they are, I am merely giving light to the tools that will bring these people into the light. And as I see it, places like Dubai Media Incorporated (DMI), Abu Dhabi Media Network (ADMN) or even Sharjah Broadcasting Authority (SBA). We can bicker over what otter’s can do (like Hollywood), but they know so well what they need to do (the giggling arrogance of them), so I am happy to hand this idea to these players in the UAE.
A simple setting that could bring options to the UAE the day after tomorrow, because to get there, the new participants need to see that they could be participants of power and that is to show them the creativity that is already in themselves. As I see it, it is the only way to get that creativity out there and perhaps they will even come up with other ideas that could bring a much stronger response. I don’t have the wisdom here, I merely have an idea that could bring forth the next generation of entertainment. And that effort matters, because if we cannot think of the next generation we are dooming ourselves.
Have a great day.
