Robert Mckee on YouTube

Having read his book and taken his seminar, it’s no secret I’m a big fan of story guru ROBERT MCKEE.  Recently I discovered some clips on YouTube of Mr. McKee in action during a New York seminar.  This is a sampling of how he conducts his class and clearly shows his passion and unbridled candor regarding the art of story.  

Like the brilliant actor BRIAN COX said in an interview; ” his seminar is a three-day, one-man show “.   Except there’s nothing fictional about his message.  It’s all about the nuts and bolts and the hard truth about writing. 
Here he talks about plot:
… and a little about story design..
..and finally here’s an interview conducted by George Stromboulopoulos ( say his name three times fast ) on his program THE HOUR..
Robert Mckee’s STORY SEMINAR returns to Los Angeles September 19-21, 2008 at the Hilton 100 Theater at the campus of Loyola Marymount University.   
And just to add a bit of perspective, there is a glut of great education out there in terms of story, story structure and writing.  It’s entirely up to the individual to harness and apply those principles to their own work.
