You can write a lot of good stories that way, but you’ll never produce, say, Aguirre.
A heavily structural approach is also better suited to teaching in a video series. Much easier to teach craft than vision.
- kinghtown 6y agoI agree about Aguirre and I’m glad you mention that because you very quickly got to the core issue I have with Pixar. They have “mastered” crowd pleasers which are marketable to any age group. That’s fine- but artistic vision is also so crucial. It’s the reason they look up to Miyazaki in the first place.
