1
Hey Pete.
2
Oh hey Val.
3
How's it going?
4
You know what, I'm having a really bad day.
5
What happened?
6
See what Val's saying when she says what happened is, tell me a story.
7
And that's actually what this season of Pixar in a Box is all about.
8
To make a movie here at Pixar takes years, but it all starts with a story.
9
Humans have been telling stories since we could speak, probably even before.
10
We tell stories around the campfire.
11
We write plays.
12
We write novels, short stories.
13
We make movies.
14
We take photographs, tweet to each other.
15
The list goes on.
16
The power of story is that it has an ability to connect with people on an emotional level.
17
One of the things you hear all the time, this advice, is write what you know.
18
Now, as a kid, I was like, I don't want to write about suburban Minnesota.
19
That's boring.
20
I want to write about explosions and monsters and car chases.
21
Well, what that actually means is, yeah, go ahead and write about monsters and explosions and car chases, but put something into it that talks about your own life, how you feel.
22
Do you feel scared?
23
Do you feel alone?
24
Something from your own life will make that story come alive and not just be a boring car chase.
25
When I started directing Monsters Incorporated, the way I would pitch it is, it's about a monster who scares kids for a living.
26
That's his job.
27
He clocks in, he clocks out, he eats donuts and talks about union dues.
28
And we thought that was a pretty funny idea.
29
And sure enough, when I would tell it to people, they would smile.
30
But when we told the story as a film, people started getting bored and restless.
31
And they're like, I don't understand what this movie is about.
32
Well, what I finally figured out was that it's actually not about a monster who scares kids.
33
It's about a man becoming a father.
34
And that was what was happening to me.
35
So why write about what you know?
36
Well, it's because probably what happened to you made you feel some particular way.
37
And what you're trying to do, really, when you tell a story is to get the audience to have that same feeling.
38
One of the big revelations for me telling stories is how much work they are, really.
39
I always thought you'd just tell the story once and it would be perfect, and geniuses like Walt Disney or Miyazaki, this brilliance comes out of their head once and there it is.
40
Well, the truth is, our stories don't always come out exactly perfectly the first time, or the second time, or the third time, or the fourth time, up to the 30th time.
41
And so you keep going again and again and again, and only after retelling the story many, many times, does it really sparkle.
42
This season of Pixar in a Box is about how we at Pixar tell our stories, in hopes that it will inspire you to tell yours.
43
But seriously, what happened?
44
Oh, so the first thing, I get to my desk, right?
45
It's 8 o'clock in the morning.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
