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!
