Andrew Stanton created one of the most touching and emotional PIXAR films with Finding Nemo. This video digs into the piles of notes and lessons I deconstructed from the film.
'When you do care, its not by chance, its by design.' - Andrew Stanton.
This video explores the grand design that makes those emotional moments possible through the incredible storytelling work of Finding Nemo.

Andrew Stanton, The Director of FINDING NEMO saw this video and left me this lovely comment on twitter, what a guy: instagram.com/p/BeREDjAFUfl/?taken-by=_mustseefilms_
2:44 "Just keep swimming" is not an annoying phrase. Those are words to live by
Still my favorite animation and one of my favorite movies of all time. It's a classic.
Same I love this movie
Woah... so much I took for granted.
FANTASTIC video, congrats on the director's shout on twitter.
Keep up the great work!
I know that was mind-blowing!!! Even if this video made a zillion views it wouldn't be more acknowledgment than the Director of one of my favourite films sending me a message!
Fantastic analysis.
keep coming back to this video over and over again when I feel like my stor-structure's failing, and it gives me a new boost every single time. thanks, Darren
Awesome to hear. If you like this sort of thing 100% check out 'The art of story' with Adam Skelter on YT. One of the smartest on story and not many people know about.
Every single time I hear something new about the storytelling of Finding Nemo, I always love it so much more. I am sure that the guys at Pixar won't disappoint with Finding Dory.
yeah I'm really looking forward to it!
@@_MUSTSEEFILMS_ I don't think it was disappointing, but not really memorable compared to the original. Even my sister said that the movie was too kid-friendly.
@@phanerozoiceon2904 I know. I was decent but felt very busy, didn't have that classic feel the way Nemo did.
Gorgeous filmmaking
The way you write down your character arc is really awesome, I am going to use it.
Wow thank you for sharing this! - is that tears on the page at 7 mins? Nemo is the first pixar film that made me cry. still gets me! :)
Yeah I loved demo from the start and always found it emotional and moving. The more I dug into to, the more I was impressed with the design behind the experience.
Thanks for making these visual essays, you're really good at it & they help me be a better storyteller
Awesome man, I'm glad this video could help, as finding nemo taught me so much!
awesome!!
Thanks Franciso, its a personal favourite of mine, so was alot of fun to dig into.
This is a really really good video essay. Absolutely excellent
Thanks Christopher, this is one of my favourites to look back on. I think it ended up pretty good because I actually learnt so much from digging into this amazing film. Nemo is just jam packed with great storytelling.
SO well done ! amazing!
Still believe it is the best pixar movies and one of the best movies ever
yeah its amazing! Wall-E is up there for me too!
@@_MUSTSEEFILMS_ finding nemo and wall-e were both Andrew stantons films
This is fantastic! Great analysis!
This video was amazing. Thank you, I enjoyed every minute of it
Thanks man, really tired to make this more professional than before, trying to step up my game!
thank you for a great video, keep them up!
I am working on a script right now and this video was so timely!!
Glad you found it useful, also my Whiplash video has a lot of story stuff in it and might be worth a look. thanks!
yes, though do you sometimes feel that there is not talent and everything seems a stretch... I am there right now where "ideas" have just stopped and I am doubting myself, like if I do write it would be too laboured and would seem like "I am trying to write"
Sometimes I feel that there is no "flow" and it starts and stops. Any advice? :(
Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely watch it.
From my experience you just have to push through it and not really judge what work or how it feels while you are doing it, then another time go back and edit, so that you can separate what is good from what isn't. That way you are freed in the writing process to not care too much and that lack of worrying is what opens things up.
So nice! still waiting on that Tarantino episode!! keep up
Its in the schedule, most likely gonna be a commentary of sorts.
Great examples man!
Brilliant video - great stuff
Thanks man! glad you enjoyed it!
Well done!
Love your work!
Thanks, really happy to get this out! Got more lined up for soon!
Fuck yes new intro screen
glad you liked it, took me a while to decide what films to squeeze into it!
Darren - MUST SEE FILMS kinna cool how prisoners was in it among all those classics. well Dennis Villenueve does deserve it. also whats that movie just before the life aquatic? is that willem dafoe?
Its Vincent Gallo in Buffalo 66, if you've never seen it, buy it and watch it, dont ever watch th trailer, if you can find it one line, just watch it, it will be a nice little surprise.
Good analysis video! Very well done! Today is the 13th b-day of Finding Nemo so I'm glad I got to watch this! :)
Nice!! i never even realised, thats pretty awesome timing! Thanks
Darren - MUST SEE FILMS You're welcome!
great video - good job
thanks man! love Finding Nemo!
Fantastic analysis! You're a major inspiration for my analyzed reviews section!!!
Thanks man!
Darren - MUST SEE FILMS No problem; I still watch your Inception analysis and it's amazing!! Did you get to see 10 Cloverfield Lane yet?
+Darren - MUST SEE FILMS Also, the fact that you attracted the attention of the director himself; that is amazing man!!! Congrats
no not yet
+Darren - MUST SEE FILMS When you see it you'll be blown away!! Even 3 full months after it came out, I still can't stop talking about it; once the footage is released, I'm making an analyzed review of it! And I just re-watched Nemo for the 200th time; it's such a great film.
GREAT VIDEO! Thankss! Please keep uploading!
Thanks man, new videos every Monday!
Great analysis!
thanks man, i was really excited to share this one!
amazing dude
Excellent!
thanks man! Really happy to get this one done!
Have you seen "The Lobster"? If so I have two questions.
1) What did you think of it? (I thought it was genius)
2) Could you perhaps make a video about Yorgos Lanthimos films and the universe they create. I recently watched Dogtooth, Alps and The Lobster(in one day) and they fascinated me endlessly. His characters don't necessarily act like normal people. They are very monotone, love listing things, spew extremely random facts to other characters, and generally seem to just say whatever crosses their mind. If this interests you, please make a video. I need someone to explain this to me!
I really wanted to watch The Lobster when it was in the cinema but i missed it, i havent seen it yet but have heard some interesting and good things that makes me want to see it!! once i check it out ill be sure and share some thoughts!
grave of the fireflies made me cry
great shout!
amazing. keep going please it's so gr8 m8
Thanks mate, really great to get this one finished and shared!
Do you write your scenes on index cards? How do you organize all your ideas regarding the sequence of scenes and scenes, like I have more than one scene or like does a happen before b or does a1 fit better - all these raw ideas where do you put them?
I now do something I learnt rom Jeff Nichols which is right all my ideas for scenes down on individual index cards then when I have a whole bunch ill throw them on the ground and mess them up. Then it becomes like a jigsaw where you have to put them in the best order, obviously ill have a pretty good idea anyway, but it allows me to see everything I have at once. Something ill break a single act down on a whiteboard and just focus in on that but most of the time I need to see the whole grand design otherwise I feel a little lost. Hope this helps!
MUST SEE FILMS thanks a lot. I think this video covers so much...all the homework one needs to do, very crucial really!!
Thanks man, glad you found it useful, my whiplash video also has this kind of story detail too, so you might find it informative. Thanks!
I am sorry if my questions do not make sense sometimes or are pretty basic. I have another one, so how big is your beat sheet? It has the main turning points right? Where do you put the mini beats within it? Things that lead to the major beats (like your tp) so that you remember them and get a complete skeleton of the story or script? Because outline is more detailed.. Again apologies for so many confusing questions, I do feel like a fool sometimes, stumbling around haha
Its no problem. I try and use the foolscap method from Steven Pressfield, you can google it, but it basically means getting the whole story down on 1 page of A4 paper and if it doesn't fit on their then its too much. Also another great video series on youtube is The Art of Story by Adam Skelter, I think you'd really enjoy it, they are some of the best video essays ever but they also dig into storytelling and all kinda of narrative planning. Hope this helps!
Man, you do such an amazing job! I wonder, do you have your own stories in development?)
I was trying to do my own films and these video essay at the same time and it ended up both of them suffering so iv decided to focus my energy on this videos just now and when the times right ill probably shift gears in making films again down the line.
Darren - MUST SEE FILMS Cool, i will support you if you do one) Just gratitude for your amazing work - very very helpful! Just the eye opener.)
How do u take notes and write stuff down with that many pens??
Teach me.
lol the different coloured pens where for the 2 separate story lines, one colour for Marlon and one colour for Nemo, what was interesting doing that was the spacing. The had both equal amount of time during the middle of the film but as we approach the climax, the cutting back and forward becomes more frequent and the time we spend with each becomes shorter as the get closer together. Pixar is awesome!
MUST SEE FILMS But I am starting to do the same...analysing movied for myself and it's so great seeing the method you use to do it....with all different papers and coloured pens...
I love this page man...I truly do..
Have you made any feature or shorts??I would pay to see them.
Yeah iv made a bunch of short films, music videos n little documentary things, and being learning screenwriting for a while now in order to write and direct my first feature but taking my time cause its pretty hard. Glad to hear your enjoying the channel, my whiplash video goes into story and narrative quite a bit, that might be helpful too.
nice video!
So currently I am working on what should I show to show the change in the characters and the challenges that the character would under take... also the central question bit that you said underpins each scene, is quite helpful. I am brainstorming for ideas but coming to a dead end, can you give me some ideas about how I can show challenges and change? My story is about a woman who goes to rehab, now the problem is I am not able to find any challenges for her lol, I have written the first half, but I cannot come up with really good challenges (not throw in lame challenges which I as an audience would feel, meh about). One is therepeutic ones like her interactions with people there, the therapist and group work but these are quite dialogue based etc...nothing really happens here, to think about it, my story is quite similar to finding nemo hehe...Real good work and if you have any suggestions, let me know :)
Cool awesome to hear your working on something, id suggest reading 'The art of Dramatic Writing' I'm re reading it at the moment and it covers a few of thing issues you mentioned like having a strong premise and how that plays into the obstacles that will be in your story. Hope this helps!
Great, as usual ! Give me the envy to re-re-rewatch Finding Nemo !
Could you put your schema and "map" of the movie on your website ? Thanks by advance !
Cheers from France
hey man, thank for the feedback. I only showed glimpses of the full thing but i actually took notes on the full film and its like 20 pages + of scribes and notes. Ill take picture of it all and share it on my website as a post, ill release it hopefully with next weeks newsletter on Monday. Feel free to sign up here: mustseefilmspodcast.com
Hi Darren! Amazing video! Definitely one of your best! Did you get a chance to take the pictures of your scribes and notes? I'd love to see them!
Sorry i never got them up last weekend, had to really blitz the most recent Kubrick video to get done in time, i should have more time this weekend, so ill upload everything that i have! thanks!
No need for apology :) Keep up the good work!
where's the copolla's clip from?
Found it one youtube ages ago! watch the whole thing, its amazing!! ruclips.net/video/awce_j2myQw/видео.html
whats the background music?
There is loads of tracks i used in this one, most are from the youtube audio library and the ending song is from the unused B side of a James Brown album.
I really love this channel and stuff you create, but I'd love it so much more if you could add some subtitles bro!
Thanks man, ill look into that and see what i can do, I'm sure it would help alot of people, for now i have a full transcript of the video on my site if that is any use to you: mustseefilmspodcast.com/finding-nemo-art-storytelling/
MUST SEE FILMS finding Nino
I mean to say everything that happens before the outline?
Please, have some analysis of Whiplash' brilliant moments, anything about it, I would watch it
Yeah Whiplash was a favourite film from the last few years, totally loved it! would love to cover it somehow!
Amazing analysis. I'm only kind of missing an outro to your video.
thanks man, what do you mean, like a credits sequence at the end?
No, I mean like a conclusion and summary pf everything you told. You end with an analysis of the change in Nemo's character and then the line "never stopped me." And then video suddenly ends, without any summary or conclusion. That's what I'm missing.
Awww, i got you. yeah kinda did need a sum up since it did cover alot. you can get a full transcript of everything covered here, but your right ill try and add like an appendix note sheet into the description soon, covering everything! Thanks for brining it up! mustseefilmspodcast.com/finding-nemo-art-storytelling/
I'm here to complain about the muddy audio. I have to turn it up so loud to understand you that my bass is blowing out.
Great study though.
Sorry man, iv been getting all better with the audio work, this is definitely the best iv managed so far but obviously along way to go still, always trying to make incremental change along the way. Hopefully you were able to get some of the content, if not i have a full transcript here: mustseefilmspodcast.com/finding-nemo-art-storytelling/
Love this video as I love all of your work but maybe you should´ve structured it a bit better and taken a bit more time with your sheets, felt a little rushed and confusing at times.
Never the less, looking forward to your next videos :)
Thanks man, for a full transcript and break down of the script check it out here: mustseefilmspodcast.com/finding-nemo-art-storytelling/

The only thing that sucks about this movie in my opinion is that it wasn't traditionally animated. I mean seriously why did Pixar choose 3D animation
I love it as is, but I can imagine it being in the style of Pinocchio and being awesome!
@@_MUSTSEEFILMS_ or studio Ghibli style
@@havenspringer mmm, yeah that would have been awesome!!
Hey dude, just wanna give you a heads up that you're a little too close to your mic. Your plosives pop a bit too much. Think about moving back another 6 inches or picking up a pop guard. Good stuff, though.
Thanks man, I'm getting better at audio stuff and actively trying to improve but still got lots to learn, i was worried about not being loud enough so i guess i was too close, great idea ill pick up a pop guards and set it around 6 inch! thanks
+Darren - MUST SEE FILMS no problem! I'm a professional audio engineer so if you have any questions feel free to fire them my way.
Amazing! iv struggled with the audio so much and always trying to improve. At the moment i use a zoom h4n and a microphone on a stand, i try my best to sound proof. I usually always compress the audio but only last video did i realise you could just and try and get the audio levels the same so it wasn't peaking like crazy and i also used a noise gate to take away and drone. I think a pop filter will help, any other tips or video to refer to. thanks man!
The h4n is a decent field recorder, it should capture audio just fine provided you set your gain levels before hand and nothing clips. What kind of mic? It's way more important the zoom. The gate will do a bit when you're not talking, but seeing how you edit the video the gate won't be closed very often, if you have a hum that you can't get rid of (and can't locate the source of) you might have to do some surgical equalization to notch your offending frequency. The pop filter will definitely make a big difference. In the beginning of this video you can absolutely hear that you're closing in too tightly on your microphone, but I think you eased off of it for the rest of the audio recording. Listen to the low bass pops of your Ps and Bs. Those are called plosives. Ultimately your whole audio track needs some equalization. You have a lot going on in your low/low-mid frequencies and the entire thing would benefit greatly from some high-pass filtering to clear all that mud up. If you want I'll toss you my email address and clean up the audio on your next few videos free of charge. I don't think it would be too much work.
Thanks Michael that would be amazing, and even keep me right with changes you make so i can repeat the process in the future cause id really love to be good at the audio side but literally only started work with it serious in the last video.
my mic is a 'ev n/d767a microphone' I'm pretty sure i researched it at the time but i have no idea if its good or not.
that's a great video, but your voice is too soft! drove me crazy...
Are you recoding these videos under your blanket in the middle of the night while your parents are sleeping??? Great analysis but speak up, man. 3 years of whispering analysis. As Kevin Hart would say: "Speak from yo' chest!"
I disagree, his soft Scottish voice gives a personal feel to it.
I like the voice personally. I get turned away from some video essays because the voices are too boisterous or annoying. This is the kind of voice I'd enjoy relaxing or napping to. :)
nice videos but your voice is incredible monotone, makes me don't want to keep watching
