Dan Harmon's 8-Step Story Circle
Videos
Jun 26, 2020
In this video, Dan Harmon explains how he builds the stories for Rick and Morty episodes:
- Start with a relatable character;
- Give the character a need/wish;
- Going after that need/wish takes the character across a threshold (where the story changes direction);
- The characters have to go through a road of trials, searching for something;
- They find it, whether they like it or not;
- It kicks their ass;
- They return to their starting point;
- (having gone through some change)
