I realize that it's weird to not have a major guru like McKee as part of this discussion, but he never really commits himself to a firm-enough structure to compare to the others side-by-side, so I left him out. I mention him at other times, though, just search for "McKee"Matt Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319984238456281734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294573.post-52908254247350071252014-01-30T18:48:31.831-05:002014-01-30T18:48:31.831-05:00Glad I found your site, really useful resource.
...Glad I found your site, really useful resource. <br /><br />Have you read Robert McKee's 'story'? <br />I recommend it, and it'd be great to see how it compares to the other gurus.woody chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667683602474063078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294573.post-52485465333227746262011-09-24T11:41:07.285-04:002011-09-24T11:41:07.285-04:00I've seen a few of these.

HFI's Script Formula Chart has been around for a couple of years and I even did my own one, laying the various guru beats out across an imaginary 110 pages. I've come to the conclusion that while they're all pretty much of a muchness, they also all have something good to say and can help you to answer a problem when you're stuck. The trick is not to try to use them all at once, as that way madness lies.Swinefeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15719804649768875890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294573.post-31498156846374920522011-09-23T06:53:06.786-04:002011-09-23T06:53:06.786-04:00"Embiggen" is a perfectly cromulent word..."Embiggen" is a perfectly cromulent word!Steve Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10347604037697186966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294573.post-63777253485297230722011-09-22T23:41:24.263-04:002011-09-22T23:41:24.263-04:00Don't have to time read it properly right now ...Don't have to time read it properly right now but will mark it to read later.

What if anything do you make of the different weight given physical danger by Maslow as opposed to the storyellers?<br /><br />Once again, Matt, many thanks for sharing this amazing work with all of us.j.s.noreply@blogger.com
