The one thing a Disney Storyboard won’t do for you

The two things a Disney Storyboard will do for you and the one thing it won’t do:

  1. Helps you identify exactly what you want to write about
  2. Helps you determine exactly where it belongs in your storyline

•  •  •  •  •

  1. But it doesn’t tell you what words to write

Storyboarding doesn’t make writing a book easy, it makes it easier. This is an important distinction. One that’s easy, and deadly, to dismiss.

Teaching Disney storyboarding to future leaders

Disney storyboarding
Two days ago.

 

Teaching a teen about Disney storyboarding this week. Reiterating simple insights from previous lessons.

In a few days he starts a class on Entrepreneurism at his High School. It is being led by Bob Allen at IDEAS. Bob Allen has a rich Disney pedigree.

Disney storyboarding is an exceptional tool to brainstorm and map out the story for anything; a movie, a new Disneyland Attraction, a vacation, a Marketing campaign, a restaurant concept, and of course, a book.

To keep today’s five posts short, this story continues on my four other daily posts. The navigation link is always just below every post on every site. (that’s a hint to scroll down a tiny bit further, and go)

Does everyone know what the goal is?

Does everyone where you work know unhesitatingly what the goal is?

 

Does everyone where you work know what the goal is?

And by everyone, i don’t mean most, i mean everyone.

And, can they tell it to someone else easily and simply?

Everyone?

Meeting him in person at Disney’s flagship Resort

Meeting him in person at Disney’s flagship Resort.

He initiated contact and made a bold statement last year.

From his uninvited, bold statement a seed was planted that has grown into a dynamic and inspiring professional relationship.

There’s a synergy that, as the late Frank Wells used to say, “One plus one equals three.”
