Gather round kids, and let’s all hear once more the thrilling story of launching the iPad as told by visionary storymans Steve Jobs. Truly a tale on par with Lord of the Rings or Dune.
Then we’ll have an exciting lecture on jumping straight into the action with technology advocate Chris Nolan, as demonstrated in the middle film of his Batman trilogy. It’s hard to believe Nolan was able to tell such a thrilling epic with no fat at all, neatly trimmed to fit at just under 8 hours, and yet somehow still getting across the story of formally unknown hero Batman.
If my sarcasm isn’t obvious, I think this is a bad list of ideas, that serves more to glorify the alleged genius of its examples than to actually teach good storytelling.
