Through the Themed Entertainment Minor at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, Jake has taken classes in many disciplines in Themed Entertainment, ranging from Game Design to Attraction research and ride development.
In these classes, Jake has developed skills in coordination, theme park and game development, art direction, lighting, and narrative development.
Below are examples of the types of rigorous work that was completed for this minor.
As part of a report for an attraction at Shanghai Disneyland, a research paper was written and converted to videos which were narrated and edited by Jake. Jake also created the design of the paper.
Representing the culmination of a collaborative development process, this presentation was made to industry experts, pitching a ride based on the popular film: Inception.
