It’s not every day that you get the chance to gather knowledge from the most successful people in an industry. For those interested in expanding their storytelling horizons and growing as a storyteller, there’s something you must check out. Pixar and Disney have teamed up with the Khan Academy to create and distribute a series of storytelling lessons. Pixar professionals deliver wisdom, advice, tips, and tricks in an engaging and comprehensive manner. Need more convincing to consider the Pixar in a Box storytelling courses? Here’s just a few:
1. Behind-the-scenes tips
The videos included in the storytelling courses include activities throughout – testing your retention of the information and facilitating your complete understanding of the subject matter. Through Pixar in the Box, you’ll not only get valuable tips, but you’ll also receive a venue to communicate with other viewers.
2. Variety of topics
Pixar’s online storytelling program begins with a lesson titled “The Art of Storytelling” and ends with a description of rendering. But in between, there is so much to learn. From simulation and color science to virtual cameras and character modeling, the variety of topics to explore are astounding.
3. Geared to all
It doesn’t matter if you are an individual searching for ways to spruce up your scripts, books, and presentations or if you are an English teacher in desperate need for a method to keep your students engaged in your lesson. Peruse the lessons at your own pleasure or follow a pre-designed lesson guide – the choice is yours. Participants even have the ability to share a particular course to a Google Classroom.
