Pixar storytelling rules9/21/2023 ![]() In our modern society, for example, everyone loves a good “rags to riches” story. When your character is battling against all odds, facing adversity, or their back is against the wall, well then, you have yourself the makings of great story. In other words, it’s more about the character’s journey than it is their actual destination. ![]() Pixar explains that we as the audience admire a character for trying more than for their success. This might seem straightforward but it’s worth keeping in mind anytime you’re creating a story. Great stories have a character to root for (an underdog)īelieve it or not, people want to root for you (the main character). I think that gets lost a lot of the time. That’s the heart of really great storytelling.īy crafting a story that you are passionate to tell because it serves a real purpose, your stories will have bigger impact on the world. What greater purpose does this serve? What does it teach? What’s the belief burning within you that your story feeds off of? Give the Story Spine a shot to help develop a truly unique story to tell. Pixar has used this story structure to create so many films we know and love today. One of my favorite ways to develop a compelling story is to use “ The Story Spine” formula created by professional playwright and improvisor Kenn Adams. Great stories have a clear structure and purpose Part A (Structure) You are part of the human condition and people will relate to that. In other words, self knowledge and awareness are at the the root of all great storytelling. Those are real feelings you’re having and you have to recognize them in detail in order to tell a great story yourself. One way you can do this is to pull apart the stories you like.īreak down every little element about what you love about them. And what you’re trying to do, when you tell a story, is to get the audience to have that same feeling.” “What you’re trying to do, when you tell a story, is to write about an event in your life that made you feel some particular way. Great storytelling is about taking a piece of the human condition (so things like birth, growth, emotionality, aspiration, conflict) and conveying it in a unique situation.Īcclaimed Pixar director Pete Docter puts it perfectly: “Storytelling is the greatest technology that humans have ever created.” - Jon Westenberg 1. I recently stumbled across Pixar’s 22 rules of storytelling - here are the top six we can all learn from. But there’s a difference between good storytelling and great storytelling. Luckily, storytelling is something we all do naturally, starting at a very young age. Over the years, they’ve won 13 Academy Awards, 9 Golden Globes, and 11 Grammys.Įffective storytelling involves a deep understanding of human emotions, motivations, and psychology in order to truly move an audience. Pixar is arguably one of the greatest storytellers of our generation. 6 Rules of Great Storytelling (As Told by Pixar)

Sun damage by harmony korine9/21/2023 ![]() ![]() It’s also an early entry in Korine’s ‘vaguely-annoying nonsense refrain’ oeuvre. Their strange actions include firing machine guns while smoking comically-oversized joints, riding in wheelchairs, and buying hologram mags for said wheelchairs. This was the first in a series of short films that all loosely fit under the category of “strange people walking around Nashville doing and saying strange things.” Here the strange people are Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er of the South African rap group Die Antwoord. ![]() Lonely is preachy, maudlin, and least characteristic of all for a Harmony Korine movie: boring. Lonely stands as one of Korine’s finest images, but too often Mr. The opening shot of Diego Luna’s Michael Jackson impersonator riding an extremely small motorcycle around a race track to the tune of Bobby Vinton’s Mr. The plot sounds like classic Korine: a Michael Jackson impersonator living in Paris joins a commune to live with the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe and Hitler. Written by Korine’s brother Avi, this is the obvious outlier in the canon. More significant to the purposes of this list, he’s released a number of short films that are often as original and transformative as his better-known work in features. Though Korine has made only four feature films since Gummo, he has been anything but idle: he has co-penned lyrics with Cat Power and Bjork, directed a number of music videos, and had his art featured in prestigious galleries. His films approach the disabled and the dispossessed, the racialized and the societally-rejected, in a way that may offend the self-professed allies of these groups, but where Hollywood advocacy films tend to patronize these people by way of saccharine, feel-good stories, Korine simply let’s them exist on screen. And yet his films possess staying power not for their unique vision, not for their shock value, but rather for their immense humanism. But soon after his 1997 debut directorial effort Gummo, no less a figure than Werner Herzog called him, “the last foot soldier in the army,” and since then Korine has produced a body of work that seems to exist entirely outside the confines of contemporary cinematic language. Detractors account for his success by referring to an experimental visual style and subjects that tend to be, as Variety called the Humpers, “riveting beyond rationality.”Īt the beginning of his career he reinforced the enfant terrible stereotype with goofy appearances on Letterman and erratic public behaviour that came as a result of drug addiction.

Can i delete lenovo vantage9/20/2023 I have also read some user reviews who consider Lenovo utility to be bloatware that pops up every time they perform a task.Īnd lastly, this tool is sometimes preloaded on the laptop, and it does not offer you any work-related benefits.

![]() We’ve owned the wheel-less version of this cooler for two years and even trusted it to keep a baby’s milk cold during long 10-hour drives across the country and for chilled drinks at the beach in over 100-degree weather. We tested an unwheeled version of this cooler and liked it - but realized we’d love it with wheels. The Details: 30 cans | 1.1 pounds | 13 x 7.5 x 15.8 inches | Ice retention: 16 hours However, no other damage was present, and we think this backpack performs admirably in most everyday scenarios. Unfortunately, we also experienced heavy leaking through the zippers and cans denting in the interior after we tossed this cooler off a table a couple times. The padded, adjustable straps are comfortable, but there is no chest strap, and wearing the backpack at full capacity for significant distances may not be ideal for some. The thick-lined insulated interior is also leakproof (but the backpack itself isn't) and can keep ice for up to 16 hours. It presents like a regular backpack and is easy to lift and carry, making it perfect for picnics in city parks. In addition to the main compartment, you’ll have your pick of extra storage options, including two side mesh pockets, a spacious front lid zip pocket, and a slim strap pocket (great for holding a phone or cash). The Tourit 30-can Cooler Backpack holds more like 20 cans with ice, and we love it for its bang-for-your-buck price and lightweight, multi-feature design. It disappointed us during our durability tests. The Details: 26 liters | 3 pounds | 23.9 x 10.4 x 14.97 inches | Leakproof | Other sizes: 18 liters Overall, the Day Escape’s performance is outstanding. We flipped the bag upside down when it was fully loaded and gave it a shake, and we’re happy to report there was no leaking. That said, we’re confident it could do the job on a day trip. Most of the ice had melted within 2.5 hours when the cooler was out in Tennessee during the height of summer, but it kept more ice intact and drinks cool in lower temperatures out on the water. One qualm was that the temperature retention wasn’t consistent. There are no additional pockets or storage options, but the tote does have built-in loops and attachment capabilities so you can customize it with compatible extras as needed. ![]() The fact that it’s leakproof, easy to carry, spacious inside (one tester’s mom was loving the fact she could lay a veggie tray on the bottom with no issues), and stylish put it at the top of our list. The 600D polyester exterior is durable and waterproof, and we really liked how they worked it into the cute tote design. We tested the Hydroflask Day Escape 26L in two different real-world scenarios, including in the hot southern sun and out on a boat trip. ![]() The ice retention is variable depending on the weather.

Ebay india9/20/2023 ![]() The Devin Wenig-led company also signed a four-year exclusive commercial arrangement with Flipkart. ![]() While eBay pumped in $514 million in cash, its Indian subsidiary was valued at $211 million at the time of the merger with Flipkart. ![]() Six months ago, the SoftBank-backed company had acquired eBay in about $725 million. Importantly, it also heralds termination of Flipkart’s license to use the eBay.in brand. Following a few hours of the deal announcement, eBay called off existing ties with the Bengaluru-based company.ĮBay has notified its intention to sell its ownership worth $1.1 billion in Flipkart. With a $16 billion hefty investment, Walmart has taken over Flipkart. Adages are adage because they always reflect their relevance from time immemorial.Īs most of past relationships turn sour with the beginning of the more fruitful and reckoning one, Flipkart-Walmart deal also has turned a past friend into a foe. As far as adage goes, there is no permanent friends and foe in politics as well as business. Actually, both are similar in many aspects. Our objective through this campaign is to establish eBay as the preferred choice for exporters across the country.Business and politics are alike. eBay puts the seller first by helping them navigate the waters of export with their vast experience. Be it a lack of control over product pricing or competing with the in-house brands of the marketplace for business. The communication is crafted after an in-depth study of the problems that the current exporters on other platforms are facing. Sagar Nidavani, Founder Clevertize further added, “ The idea to pitch eBay as an ‘Export Ka Expert’ stems from how the brand has a single-minded focus on seller success. We continue to focus on being the partner of choice for sellers to build a profitable business while maintaining their peace of mind.” The campaign “Export ka Expert” illustrates the challenges faced by B2C sellers on other export marketplaces and how these pain points are solved for them on eBay. The eBay marketplace gives sellers access to 190 markets and the tools to market their products to millions of buyers across the globe. Pavan Ponnappa, Head of Categories & Marketing, at eBay said, “This campaign is a reiteration of our seller-first approach and enabling Indian sellers to build a global export business on eBay. He further shares how eBay assists in establishing flourishing businesses and sustaining them to become globally competitive.Ĭommenting on the launch, Mr. A fellow member of the class overhears their conversation and introduces eBay as a seller-first platform which serves as an advisor and supports the business. He further discusses how other global marketplaces act as competitors, not partners, impacting his business performance and overall success in global markets. One of the two is sharing his frustration about the challenges he is facing while doing cross-border export business. The master film opens at a Yoga studio with two acquaintances having a conversation while working out. Export Ka Expert, a seller-first campaign communicates to its audience through multiple video assets which will be released in a phased manner. It further explains how the platform charters a successful export journey with the right kind of tools, account management and support for each exporter. The pan-India digital and OTT campaign aims to solve the pain points of Indian exporters and highlights the solutions provided by eBay to overcome these challenges as a partner to the business.
