World Building for Story with Samuel Michlap Masterclass

Join Production Designer, Samuel Michlap, for World Building for Story, a hands-on class focused on turning ideas into cinematic worlds. Drawing from a career spent building worlds across animation and live action, Michlap will break down how story becomes cinematic space - from understanding the story ask, through research and mood boards, into vignette thumbnails, refined sketches, and the design choices that shape a world through form, color, and light. If you've ever wanted to learn how to take ideas from script to screen, this masterclass unpacks a real-world process to help you level up your visual storytelling.
