Concept Design: Reinventing a Story

✨ Reimagine the familiar—and make it fresh. In this 2-hour filmed live-demo, Brandon Gonzales steps forward to reinvent The Wizard of Oz with a sci-fi, nocturnal twist, transforming classic storytelling into another world entirely. Live questions from the audience give you insight into real industry-thinking. 


You’ll learn how to:
🎭 Take a known story and shape it into something visually unexpected while retaining its core identity
🌌 Develop environments that support narrative mood (night, sci-fi, darkness + tech, etc.)
🔧 Adapt story/design concepts through live feedback and creative problem solving
🌟 Think like a professional concept designer — balancing story, style, and originality under constraints


A perfect course for advanced artists, concept designers, or storytellers wanting to push narrative design, grow worldbuilding confidence, and stretch how you see traditional tales. ⏱ Runtime: ~2 hours
