Worldbuilding Backwards (On Purpose): How Story, Script, and Design Evolved Together
Episode 20
Monday, 2 February, 2026
Worldbuilding doesn’t have to start with an encyclopedia—and in fact, sometimes it shouldn’t.I break down how I approached worldbuilding for my animated feature by working backwards on purpose. BTW, if you want to follow the project as it’s actually being built, I’m sharing the full behind-the-scenes journey on Patreon (development updates, concept art, proof-of-concepts, and real creative decision-making along the way): http://patreon.com/philsvitek.I walk through how we broke down the script to identify what actually needs to exist onscreen, how that led to deeper systems around technology, government, housing, food, and culture, and why this level of logic is crucial for concept artists designing within a cohesive world.Rather than trying to solve everything at once, we’re focusing on major elements we already feel strong about—using small victories to build momentum and inform the harder design challenges ahead.If you’re a filmmaker, writer, animator, or storyteller overwhelmed by worldbuilding, this episode is about giving you permission to build the world as you need it—not all at once.🚀 Looking for a Creative Collaborator or Coach?Whether you need help launching a podcast, shaping your story, editing a video, or navigating the artist’s life—I’m here to help.✅ Work with me: https://philsvitek.com/collaborate/
