Quote: How to create Fantasy

I was in Hannah’s tutorial group the other week talking about our collaborative project and one of her tutors said something really interesting:

“To create fantasy you first have to create reality, once you have that, it’s the process of breaking it where fantasy is made.”

Sean Myatt, MA Puppetry & Digital Animation tutor

This is so true!! If you think about it when you see a Fantasy film full of nature, say Avatar for example, they have created a world based on fact and then done something to warp it, to make it magical, to “break” it. So to effectively create fantastic nature I first need to create regular nature, and then break it in some way.
