What if???
What if Walt Disney never created Mickey Mouse? Questions like these can pique your curiosity and inspire you to imagine alternate realities, possibly, even a better tomorrow. In this activity, you will challenge yourself to create your own “what if” scenarios. Watch the Khan Academy video about Pixar’s approach to “what if” statements and then create your own “what if” narrative story.

Storyboard
Now that you have your "what if" ideas, it's time to storyboard. You'll find some blank storyboards in the bins at the center of the room. Otherwise, you can download and print a copy here.
You'll create 8 scene panels (squares), one of them is your Title Scene. Your scenes can be made of a combination of images and short video clips. Storyboard before you shoot!
