The Other Chris Pratt was trying to help me understand John Truby's ambiguous and obscure use of the English language when he gave up and threw me a juicy bone—Michael Arndt's Instructional Video on Insanely Great Endings (IGE). Arndt wrote Little Miss Sunshine and the screenplay to Toy Story 3.
I'm only one-third the way through IGE, but I'm already a fan. Yeah, you're right, there's a lot of Moral Premise related stuff in it...but no, don't think Michaels has ever heard of my book.
But having now been exposed to Arndt's theory structure, I couldn't help resist adding it to The Story Diamond (below), or at least my simplified interpretation of it. Watch his tutorial. And I'm looking forward to watching his video on Beginnings.
Anyway, here's the latest version of the Story Diamond. Yeah I know this is getting crazy, but as busy as it is, it's still helpful if you've got a magnifying glass. For a PDF download click the link above. For a link to all my posts on The Story Diamond, click HERE.
