Mindset

In part one, Claire Keane (Disney, Penguin Random House), Jenn Ely (Laika, Google, Dreamworks), Brian McDonald (Pixar, Disney, Industrial Light & Magic) and I announced that we will be teaching at The Story Design Conference from September 28th – October 2nd, 2016* in the awe-inspiring city of Rome, Italy!

(*Note: The conference was moved from May to September.)

In celebration of our announcement, we decided to record a conversation about some of the big ideas we’ll be discussing during the conference.

What followed was a riveting discussion about art, fear and finding your calling…

In this second part you’ll hear us talk about:

• How to convey emotion through your work.
• What makes student work stand out.
• How to keep going when you feel defeated.
• What we’re looking forward to at The Story Design Conference!

Claire Keane (Disney, Penguin Random House), Jenn Ely (Laika, Google, Dreamworks) and Brian McDonald (Pixar, Disney, Industrial Light & Magic) and I have created a unique conference designed to help you become the great visual storyteller you are meant to be.

In May of 2016, our Story Design Conference will take place in the awe-inspiring city of Rome, Italy.

…and we would love for you to join us.

Claire, Jenn and Brian are all here today in celebration of this announcement!

This is the first of a two-part series in which you’ll hear us discuss:

• Why you might never find your calling (and why that’s a good thing).
• How the most intimidating problems can also be the most inspiring.
• Why fear never goes away (no matter how successful you become).
