Story Lab

Lab includes

• Storytelling lectures by an accomplished animation professional Robert Lence (Disney/Pixar, DreamWorks)
• Professional supervision and consulting of your projects
• Team collaboration with your colleagues and the mentor
• Storyboard students available to each team upon request.
• Follow up online project consulting with a supervisor after the residential lab
• Follow up presentation to an international expert panel (distributors, producers…)

How it works

The residential lab is based on the teamwork of small groups of participants who bring their own project to work on. Each team will be led by an internationally recognized and experienced supervisor, Robert Lence, and will also include lectures and one-on-one consultations with the guest supervisor.

Teams will have a storyboarding student available to help with boarding story ideas, upon request.

Prior to the residential lab, online consultation with Robert will take place via a Skype session. This is to ensure Robert is familiar with your project and that you receive a series of questions and feedback before you join the lab.

After the residential workshops, your project will be presented for feedback to a three-member international expert panel composed of producers and distributors.

Capacity

The capacity of the lab is a maximum of 6 projects.

For each project, we invite 2 – 3 member teams of author and director. We recommend a team also consists of a storyboard artist, who is essential for the visual development of your story.
