At Disney I was surrounded by amazing talents. I went into work early and typed up notes on what I was learning. This experience became Directing the Story. I went on to storyboard over a dozen features, several TV animated shows and directed Donald Duck in Fantasia 2000, Piglet's Big Movie and 2 seasons of Mira Royal Detective. This new addition includes storyboarding for 3D animation illustrated with storyboard examples. During my teaching storyboarding, I noticed many beginners struggle with drawing the figure. I've introduced drawing star figures. They're the equivalent to the flour sack animators use to learn to animate flow, force, timing and shape distortion. And once the student masters that, I show how the anatomy drops right into place. Out of my frustration of trying to write my own stories and watching the waste at the studio's race to get things into production I've struggled for years to discover the secrets of story. I'm currently working on a new theory of story which shows how all the parts of story, character, plot and story work together. I'm including the beginning basics of this theory which allows my students to come up with a story in 7 minutes. Plot takes longer"-- Provided by publisher. Part One -- 1.
