The story so far

How it all connects

Four videos, one story. Here's the order they go in and what we're learning as we make them.

1
Meet Sally.
The hello. Sally introduces herself straight to camera, the way you'd meet a friend.
We learned Keep it short, keep it real, let her talk like a person.
2
Welcome to E2.
The world. Sally shows you the place she's been drawing for years, the island, the people, the invitation to come build it with her.
We learned The drawings are the story. Show the work, not just the result.
3
Meet Doodle.
The friend. Doodle's whole journey from a sketch to a real character with a hook on her head and 90 days of battery.
We learned Give the audience someone to root for. Doodle wakes Sally up at the end, not the other way around.
4
Checking in with Dinesh.
The team. Sally FaceTimes Dinesh in Chicago. He's building Llama Chat on a Windows 95 machine, she's building E2. Two people, two projects, one conversation.
We learned The best scenes are just two people who listen to each other.
