Hi, my name's Scott Shaffer, and I'm Senior Art Director and Designer with Disney Parks Live Entertainment.

My background is in theatrical set design.

That's what my training was in, but I also worked in film and television here in Southern California as an Art Director and Production Designer.

My first job at the Disneyland Resort was actually the Art Director for the press opening of "Fantasmic!"

Now, it's been almost 28 years, and I've been loving every day.

I've done everything from special events, photo locations, small things to huge parties.

I've also done a number of different parades.

My first parade was the "Hercules" parade here at Disneyland.

I also did the 50th anniversary parade for Disneyland.

I've also done numerous parades for the Tokyo Disney Resort.

I have one in Tokyo DisneySea, and I have a couple in Paris right now.

So, I do a little bit of everything, and it really makes my job a lot of fun.

I ended up starting school in the engineering field, but then changed to the theater arts as a technical design and scene design major.

And to have that sort of understanding of how things work really helps in how I can design parade floats, how I design stage shows.

So all those experience(s) are super helpful.

I'd never designed one before when I was asked to do the, my first parade here.

Whether it's a stage set or a parade, all of the same thought processes go into the design.

The only differences are, I think parades are a little bit more complicated, 'cause you don't have control over all the elements that you do in a theatrical production.

Everything has to be viewed from 360 degrees.

I think it's a little bit more complicated and difficult to do, but I really enjoy doing it.

And I really like providing a product to the guests that meets all of those sorta Disney standards.

The current project I'm working on, "Magic Happens" parade.

It's been really fun to work on, and it's been a great team of people.
