The Hero's 2 Journeys - Triple DVD Seminar

Both Chris Vogler and Michael Hague are heavyweight Script Guru’s with decades of experience behind them. Personally, I was very excited when I got my hands on this triple DVD set titled ‘The Hero’s 2 Journeys’, a full days worth a seminar on the three DVD’s. For me, it was EXTREMELY rewarding to hear these guys speak and unveil what my instinct has always sensed and known, BUT my conscious mind found so hard to articulate.

This DVD has been an extremely powerful tool that I have kept going back to while writing my new movie ‘Transplant’, and is the best £40 I have spent in a long time. So good I got 10 copies imported to pass on - AND as a bonus, I managed to get an extra three hour audio seminar of Michael Hague’s thrown in for free (see below).

I found Chris Vogler to be both passionate and inspired as a teacher, and was particularly struck by his view, inspired by Joseph Campbell, of the narrative coming full circle instead of being purely linear. This is something I have noticed in the movies I have made, and the ones I am writing and producing.

Here’s what their official blur says…

The Hero's 2 Journeys contains 3 DVDs with over 4 1/2 hours of writing techniques and story analysis from acclaimed script guru's Michael Hauge, author of Writing Screenplays that Sell, and Christopher Vogler, author of The Writer's Journey.

For the first time, two of Hollywood's top studio script consultants; story experts and authors unite to reveal the tools and principles you must know to move your screenplay, novel or film project from the rejection pile to the production slate. In this special 3-DVD set, designed for storytellers and filmmakers in all disciplines, these two renowned writers and teachers provide their unique insiders' understanding of the ways story structure, character arc, and theme must combine with myth, archetype, identity, and transformation to touch the widest possible audience.

The Hero's 2 Journeys reveals how your characters must travel two journeys for your story to succeed. Michael Hauge focuses on the Outer Journey. The Outer Journey is the physical path and includes the real-life obstacles your character must overcome. Chris Vogler teaches the Inner Journey.

The Inner Journey is the emotional path of your character and the inner changes required by your character on the way to his or her goal. Your character must travel both Journeys for a successful story. Hauge and Vogler together discuss the Outer and Inner Journey of the lead character in the award-winning screenplay Erin Brockovich. Dozens of detailed graphics are included in this DVD to better illustrate the concepts presented by the speakers. Unlike a one-time seminar, you can watch this DVD over and over again while you write your screenplay or story and send your character out on his or her journeys.
