If we deconstruct the animated short, it will look like this. Essentially, by identifying the elements, we are able to come up with a more clearer picture with regards to the direction of the vision as well as the operationalization of the mission. In the next blog, we will deconstruct the story in the animated feature into five beats. Keep in touch.
