Alice: Madness Returns
Session Notes
Monique Heart Drag. Neal
Alice as a game designer. Modernize it, be loose with the term author. Think of Wreck it Ralph style glitching in movement. Mad Hatter as Mad Hacker
Levels as stages of madness. Down the rabbit hole deeper into the game.
Welcome to Wonderland Entrance
Cookes
Ethan's Team
Super Mario Bros: Pipes and Brick platforms. Usage of levels. Make it look pixelated. Total immersion. Geometric style. Polygon costumes (Lara Croft haha).
Costumes: A Pippin troupe. Similar strong colors. Alice to be a total contrast.In Broadway they're dressed as Alice. Make a perveerse kind of style of Alice, a contrast. THEY dress Alice in the classic costume.
Behind the scenes. See Wonderland as the carnival 'front' that it is. Inner machinations of Wonderland. We can see behind the wizard's curtain. Recycling aspects from previous zones.
Nightclub. Perfect amount of drunk. Go on a vibing adventure.
Bouncer is Elevator
White Rabbit the 'Good friend;
Club lights. Glow sticks. Walls fall away to reveal this. Strobe lights. The woods of the festival, tripping looking for the tent.
People moving as one group.
Black and white until she goes through the Elevator. Keep Alice as Black and White, the rest in color.
'Potipher from Joseph Technicolor Dreamcoat movie for reference.
White Knight/ Victorian Gentleman
Mad Hatter.
Queen of Hearts
Small frame with big personality. Physically small contrasted with big and brash personality.
Be Our Guest style tea cups. In a bit of a perverse style.
Lean in MORE to the psychosis side. Joker from Batman, Jared Leto (but good).
Costume: Big paper Eyelashes, Not trying to appeal
Blanche DuBois. Fall from grace movie star aging.
Cheshire Cat
Puppet like Grinning Man. Face ripped open.
July 2nd: Rifts of reality and madness coming together. Dirty shirt but fancy hat. Combining the two. Insane asylum where patients assume the role. If every character has a double: A child version and an adult version. REflect the original Alice and pay homage to the new musical
