Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling

Sep 16, 2013

I found this post while surfing on reddit.com, and thought that a lot of it was an appropriate guide to those of us creating e-learning courses.  So, I thought I'd share it with you all.  Enjoy!

From the original post:

"Former Pixar story artist Emma Coats tweeted this series of “story basics” in 2011.https://twitter.com/lawnrocket These were guidelines that she learned from her more senior colleagues on how to create appealing stories. I superimposed all 22 rules over stills from Pixar films to help me remember them. All Disney copyrights, trademarks, and logos are owned by The Walt Disney Company."

Great stuff, very informative! Thanks for sharing!

Maybe it's the "twitter style" that make these rules hard to read, or... just me  ...but let me share a version that I personally found a bit easier to understand:

Here's a link to a free e-book (written by a Pixar employee) which will analyze each of the 22 rules in-depth.
