A note on the crow: I still don't know how that error happened. I think I was supposed to make a joke or correction there in post production to point out that I discounted birds in scripting. But then the text overlay never made it in. Or my script said "animals" and I read it as mammals but edited the video using the script as my main guide... I have a bachelor's degree in biology and my undergraduate research study was constructing a site to track and display the taxonomy of local wildlife. And honestly, I'm not sure if that makes this odd error more embarrassing or less embarrassing. What do you think? It's more, isn't it? Everyone wants Twitter to add an edit feature but where is the demand for a Premier Pro level editing option in KZitem??? (Definitely technically feasible /s)

This is the first I've heard of story circle. It seems like an even better, more satisfying version of the hero's journey. I've been dealing with writer's blog in my long-form wip novel for awhile, and while I let that simmer on the back burner, I've been toying an idea for a new story that would be told in comic form. I will definitely be using this circle to help organize the outline of the new story!

Truly have to appreciate this entire video. Love the discussion here and it serves many stories well. I feel after this that the story circle is best for short form stories, such as for tv and maybe even novellas. After reading about this for the first time, I binged the first three seasons of Rick and Morty to scan for the story beats and, you guessed it, the circle was there of over 90% of the episodes. The same can even apply for Marvel's Loki, since the head writer for the show worked on Rick and Morty as well. I've said too much. 😂

I personally believe that Dan Harmon's Story circle is basically a thesis from Joseph Campbell: The heroe's journy. Dan Harmon's thesis is more easeally to use and very well explain, because contain all elements on it, such as Christopher vogler did at the moment he used Campbell references. The screenwriting field, whitout no doubt, is a largest and vast journy and we should use the estructure that fit the most (because we feel more confident or just because we are more familiarized with). However, all structures an theorys forms are very usefull, and we must have an open mind to combine them for the good porpuse and better judgment of our stories, thats for sure.

This is the best explanation I've seen. I never realized the symmetry and the larger parts working with the smaller and smaller parts. I like your use of color to explain it. That was very helpful. I've "won" NaNoWriMo a few times and I've gotten some short stories published. I consider myself an outliner, but I've never found a plot structure that I was comfortable with. This makes the Story Circle easy enough to grok that I think I may try it to write some backstories for the worldbuilding I'm doing right now. I can take the characters through some cycles/rotations and the point where the main story starts will find them in a specific cycle on a specific beat. I think my reformed vampire, Vlad Bluufairee will benefit from this greatly.

In what way is this the simplest structure you have ever seen? You can break it further down to a 4 act sructure. Remove the mid point and up with the 3 point structure which is even simpler.

Each people finds it's own way) I have been using Blake Snyder's Beat Sheet to structure the major events into the story, writing down on paper all I know and all the scenes I picture in my mind and then arranging it into the structure. Before writing the actual scenes, I apply a Story Circle on it to guide me how the scene will resolve.

Pantsing refers to writing by the seat of one's pants. In other words writers who wing it, write by instinct, and don't plan out the whole trajectory of their stories. It's a spectrum but you could say it's the opposite of outlining.

The worst part about not drinking Pepsi and only watching Netflix is I literally didn't notice until all of you commenting 😂

Any plot that makes sense as a story, can be shoehorned into any of the various plotting methods.

I don't see why that makes this any less useful as a guide to new writers struggling with plotting and pacing. And different writers connect with different formats even if they all lead to the same place and take most of the same steps. If it helps people, that's what matters.

@@CloudKitten Let me give another example from outside writing. Many years ago, I read an article in a music magazine comparing the actions, or physical key press feel, of several weighted keyboards. What the author of the article didn't know, was that the whole mechanical key setup for every one of them, was made by the same company, and had the same part numbers inside. This didn't stop anyone from having detailed preferences.

How much did Pepsi pay for this ad

Okay, I have to know, how do I reference Pepsi? I made this video like a year ago and hate rewatching old videos, but I don't drink Pepsi and I am very confused lol. I'd do a sponsorship for Monster Rehab Peach Tea energy drinks in a heartbeat though. I just bought a case of 24 of them on Amazon since I can never find them in stores. That's basically the only canned drink I consume.

When you think about it, Pixar follows the same structure too. That's probably why they're so successful.

Pixar supposedly has their own structure they use internally which is similar but somehow even simpler than story circle. I've considered covering it a few times though it would be a short as hell video. Supposedly it is as follows: Once upon a time there was ___. Every day, ___. One day ___. Because of that, ___. Because of that, ___. Until finally ___.
