I wonder how recent thinkers of plot could contribute here. For instance, John Truby talks about the conflict between a protagonist's conscious desire and unconscious need, something that pre-exists the dilemma. Another fascinating element is the so-called "visit to the underworld" which precedes the battle/climax. This is where the character sees or understands the consequences of not having a self-revelation and overcoming the force operating against him (assuming the story is not a tragedy ...)

As someone with a background in theater, this is very insightful for me. It will make me look at interactive products in a new way. I think your article is also a great tool to work with corporate business partners to explain that excellent products are ones that tell a story - that have a background. It isn't just the spectacle or decor that makes a website or a product great - it is about the whole story. Great post! As someone with a background in theater, this is very insightful for me.

Nice read, good analogies, although I absolutely not agree with changing song to just melody! I like the #musicthinking of Aristotle. From a storytelling point of view I also like the 3 step approach of Pixar: Character, Story, World. Looks more integrated to me. Well done, Jeroen!

Very thoughtful and insightful piece. This is a very clever approach to interactive design/development. It will definitely make creating RIAs less of a hit or miss process. Now you have very clear guidelines. Well done Jeroen!
