What is Story Xperiential?
Story Xperiential is a 9-week online experience that takes you behind the scenes at Pixar and introduces you to world-class storytellers. Within the program, students will follow the Pixar process to create their own story reel, a rough draft of an animated film using drawings edited together in a sequence.
