Product Details

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

Starring Michael Hauge and Christopher Vogler

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.

About Dramatica and StoryWeaver

Hi, I'm Melanie Anne Phillips, creator of StoryWeaver, co-creator of Dramatica and owner of Storymind.com.  If you have a moment, I'd like to tell you about  these two story development tools - what each is designed to do, how each works alone on a different part of story development and how they can be used together to cover the entire process from concept to completion of your novel or screenplay.

What They Do

Dramatica is a tool to help you build a perfect story structure.  StoryWeaver is a tool to help you build your story's world.

Dramatica focuses on the underlying logic of your story, making sure there are no holes or inconsistencies. 

StoryWeaver focuses on the creative process, boosting your inspiration and guiding it to add depth, detail and passion  to your story.

How They Do It

Dramatica has the world's only patented interactive Story Engine™ which cross-references your answers to questions about your dramatic intent, then finds any weaknesses in your structure and even suggests the best ways to strengthen them.

StoryWeaver uses a revolutionary new creative format as you follow more than 200 Story Cards™ step by step through the story development process.  You'll design the people who'll inhabit your story's world, what happens to them, and what it all means.

How They Work Alone

By itself Dramatic appeals to structural writers who like to work out all the details of their stories logically before they write a word.

By itself, StoryWeaver appeals to intuitive writers who like to follow their Muse and develop their stories as they go.

How They Work Together

But, the finished work of a structural writer can often lack passion, which is where StoryWeaver can help.  And the finished work of an intuitive writer can often lack direction, which is where Dramatica can help.

So, while each kind of writer will find one program or the other the most initially appealing, both kinds of writers can benefit from both programs.

Try Either Program Risk Free!

We have a 90 Day Return Policy here at Storymind.  Try either or both of these products and if you aren't completely satisfied we'll cheerfully refund your purchase price.
