There are unlimited ways to create story. There's no one way or method to create a compelling story. For practical purposes, here's a brief overview of how to create a story in one or one-million images through your art: - Define the Character's Desire: Show what they deeply want and how it clashes with their current life. - The Hero’s Journey and Dark Night: Make them face fear, doubt, and a low point that forces them to reflect and grow. - A New, Deeper Desire: After their struggle, they discover a more authentic goal that transforms both them and their world. - World and Era’s Influence: Highlight how the time and place they live in shape their challenges, beliefs, and opportunities. Here's the daily Blender 3D scene and implied story. What do you see? What do you sense? What's your story scene you created today?

We are growing in our community for finding new perspectives in our abilities and capabilities in creating our visuals storytelling. No matter the medium in your art, whether it is painting, film photography, or crayon, there is a story within. Through filmmaking, what I personally learned today through creating stories is finding the overcoming and defining moment for the subject to push passed their limits in the name of achieving the new specific outcome. Being dogmatic puts us in a box when it comes to creating story. We have paradigms of how our characters or subjects view the world. Put something in their way that is unorthodox. As a grape, when fermented/pressed beyond its chemical nature, creates wine (a new end state), so to the natures of our subjects when they seek a new desire, they must be put through a strong evolution and make those definite decisions to either give up their moral compass… or evolve it. Keep creating! *POLL BELOW*: What is your favorite medium to create story? -JJ

Hey everyone!! I have some realizations to share with creating the art, the film, and the day to day lifestyle. I come from an athletic background. If you know me well, I am also a competitive weightlifter. Weightlifting training under the lineage of Olympians! They’re programming to get stronger: 6 months Day 1: Max out (Baseline) Weeks 1-8: 75%-80% Max for 5 reps Weeks 9-16: 85%-90% for 3 reps Weeks 17-24: 50%-60% at 5-7 reps & Preparing for competition Competition Day: Max Out Again. Repeat. I learned that if I work daily & consistently in the gym for an Olympic-level of athleticism, then I believe I can achieve that same level of intensity programming in developing an artistic skill set & mindset for my film. “Max Out Day” can be the finished movie, the release on Netflix or film festival, etc. The lower reps and percentages can be synonymous to the base foundational practices in story telling (understand paradigms, Deus Ex Machina, cinematography, etc). In order to see the movies and finished creations come into fruition, the day to day work and creations we do matter a ton. Let’s commit daily to seeing our day to day through the vision of our films, our stories, and our finished creations! *Courses coming soon !

From Michelangelo and Beethoven, to Post Malone and Tarantino, what do these artists all have in common? Remove the restriction of their time period they existed, we all can agree they have a specific paradigm of art creation they embodied, thus creating their genius. In this group, we raise our standards of art creation and storytelling. We all have a story within us. Perhaps that novel wasn't the best medium for your story, but Blender 3D is. Let's help each discover our voices. Either create of bust. Your choice.
