Mike Hill, the famous designer, who worked on Blade Runner 2049, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Horizon Zero Dawn, visited CAMP Festival 2018 and gave a fantastic talk on metaphors in stories. It’s a great analysis of the famous The Dark Knight and how the ancient myths arise in the DC heroes.
It’s a pretty long talk, but it’s incredibly fascinating. It’s super interesting and incredibly valuable for designers. It shows the structure, the ancient ideas behind every story, which you can utilize in your own work.
Plus Mike is just a joy to listen to. His presentations are always a blast. And it features a Cookie Monster.
