Building a Visual Sequence

I was first introduced to Gerri’s Game(Pixar) by my former boss Scott Anger at the LA Times. Scott asked me to tag along at a multimedia crash course he helped to teach at CalState Long Beach.
To teach visual sequencing we used Gerri’s game, an animation by Pixar that, without words, brilliantly tells the story of an old man playing chess.
Carefully watch and count the shots. Wide, medium, tight, and not a word needed to tell this wonderful story. A perfect example of visual story telling.
