Fabled Creative

Great to see a Northern Ireland company at the forefront of innovation. Well done the Clearhill team.

This is so exciting!

Because trimming her answers down wasn't an option, here is PART 2 of getting to know our Sandy White... 5. 💬 What advice would you give to anyone looking to get into this industry? If I could give anyone advice about starting in this industry, it would be to go and see as many attractions as you can. My local go-to was always Thorpe Park and Chessington. Look at how the entire guest journey works, from car parking and toilets to queue line narratives and then the rides, and look at it from different demographics too. I would also say, never stop learning; there's always a new skill or software advancement to learn! 6. 🛠️ What 3 tools (digital or real) could you not live without while working? I could not live without my x3 screens, my Wacom Cintique, Photoshop, or Cinema 4D. 7. ⌛ How does your typical workday go? A typical day involves speed dialing with all my colleagues, setting up roadmaps for the delivery of our latest projects, and then getting into the fun stuff - creating our visitor experiences in 3D and visualizing those for the next stage of development. Detail design and build! 8. ☺️ If you could only use one emoji for the rest of your life, what would it be? 🥰 9. Name one movie you think should have a sequel. Interview with the Vampire. 10. 👽 If aliens landed on Earth, who would you recommend they talk to? Teri Ruffley; her communication skills are the world's best! ........................................ Take a look at some of our other posts in this series to meet more of our incredible team.

It's time for the next of our Meet the Team series, and who is up this time? It's our very own Sandy White! ✨. PART 1 She is the visionary force steering the ship as our Creative Director at Fabled, adored by the team for her modesty, wonderful artistry, and wealth of experience, Sandy is truly one of the most exceptional leaders in our industry. 1) 👩 Talk us through your career so far. Always a fine artist at heart, I wanted to apply my creativity to the film world until I discovered Theme Parks! So I went from working on some epic films such as Les Misérables (working with the amazing Hugh Jackman), doing Prop Painting, and assisting in art departments (at the same time as learning to draft for film and studying 3D animation & VFX) to landing my first job at RMA where we designed the First Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park, worked with Jorvik Viking Centre and Cadbury World, amongst other very exciting projects. I have since worked as a freelancer on some brilliant projects like the National Geographic Ultimate Explorer FECs and then set up Fabled Creative! 2) 🔵 What do you enjoy most about Fabled (e.g., the team, the culture…)? I love the team we have; such talented people with a great culture. We don't take ourselves too seriously and love learning all the time. 3) 🎢 What are you and the team bringing to the themed attraction industry? The way we design our attractions is to really listen to what the client needs. We bring our creativity and innovative solutions to a collaborative partnership that ensures these extraordinary concepts are brought to life. 4) 💻 What are your favorite parts of your work? My favorite part of any project is learning about the subject, which is always different! I also love advancing our company's skills, like new software such as Unreal, to create even more stunning visuals. (to be continued...)

please comment those of you who are old enough to remember this song and my apologies if you find yourself singing it over the festive season. merry Christmas.

Fantastic sketching training with the fabulous Steve De La Mare this afternoon. He showed us some brilliant ways to up our game and make our visuals more dynamic, to improve our storytelling, and showed us how to draw the viewer in to our images (as well as a really good refresher on compositions and lighting). The artistic talent on our design team is so impressive, but we feel that it is important to keep refreshing and learning as much as we can and whenever possible. Thankyou so much Steve for sharing your skills, years of knowledge and talent with the team 🙌 .

An end of year assessment on the team is crucial – it's the only way to check on their Christmas Spirit! 🎄✨ Seriously- Batman Returns and no tinsel?! Bah Humbug!
