What is a StoryEngine?
A 700Hp Beast
that Drives the Cause Forward!
A StoryEngine is just as it sounds. A Story that acts as the Engine to drive the cause, the purpose, the mission forward. Without a compelling Story, there is no Engine to capture attention. Without attention, there is no engagement. Without engagement, no passionate army can be built to spread that story further. StoryEngines, in short, make people feel. They inspire. They resonate. They motivate. They move people into action. Or deepen a belief or conviction. Or ideally, all three. The best StoryEngines even inspire the uninspired—no easy feat.
What is a StoryEngine Mechanic?
StoryEngine Mechanics break down,
fix, and rebuild Stories!
A StoryEngine Mechanic is the person who fine tunes the story. Like a gifted mechanic, he diagnosis, prescribes, and executes - to breakdown, fix, and reassemble the story. Through the power of editing, he rebuilds the StoryEngine even stronger. If he needs to, he takes that old rusty motor. And makes it a beautiful 700Hp Beast, so powerful, it can inspire even the uninspired. Being a film editor is not the same as being a StoryEngine Mechanic. A StoryEngine Mechanic is a master of his craft. Further, he edits to achieve an objective. Not just to convey subjective art.
Why StoryEngine Mechanics Are Needed?
First: Supply and Demand
As Impact Club has expanded into more communities, and set to expand into over 50 new ones in 2018, the demand for talented videographers and editors has exploded. More Impact Club events. Means more videographers are needed. With more footage captured, more StoryEngine Mechanics are needed. Growth of anything is what propels demand. As supply eventually runs short. Our Ecosystem is perfect for talented StoryEngine Mechanics to pick up additional freelance work. Or to leverage their success into full-time pay, doing what they love to impact communities.
Second: Innovation
The structure of story has remained constant for thousands of years. But the style of which story is presented, is under constant evolution. That evolution can bring about new breakthroughs in effectiveness. We are looking for that innovation. When Impact Club launched, in order to make it efficient, we developed a standard story format. But with growth comes the desire to elevate the horsepower of each StoryEngine. Thus, it’s effectiveness. This is where StoryEngine Mechanics come in. And StoryEngine Hackathon. By developing an open source community of talented purpose-driven videographers and editors. And financially rewarding StoryEngine Hackathon Winners, to incentive their best effort. We can innovate faster on new StoryEngine formats.
4 REASONS
StoryEngine Mechanics Participate?
1 – To make Impact
Most of us want to belong to something bigger than ourselves. One way to do that is to deploy our talent in meaningful ways. If you’re a physician, you might sign up for Doctors Without Borders. If you’re a teacher, you might sign up to teach abroad. If you’re a StoryEngine Mechanic, you might sign up to break down, fix, and rebuild StoryEngines to benefit local non-profits.
3 – For extra cash
Impact Club has constant demand for good StoryEngine Mechanics. By winning a StoryEngine Hackathon, talented editors earn priority consideration for future work. Some StoryEngine Mechanics freelance part-time. Adding an extra five or $10K to their income. While others have potential to earn considerably more.
2 – To prove themselves
Many StoryEngine Mechanics are far better than their film school peers, but since they didn’t go to film school. They’re often discredited. Labeled as hobbyists and or amateurs. When in reality, they just need a shot. Because if they got that shot, their work would crush it in competition. Or worst case scenario? They put themselves on the map as someone to watch and pay attention to.
4 – All the above
Many StoryEngine Mechanics have full-time jobs in major production houses. But in all honesty, who doesn’t want to impact in the world, performing their craft for a good cause? And who doesn’t want to continually prove themselves, taking joy in winning the occasional competition? And extra money? That’s always a nice little perk. So many video editors, StoryEngine Mechanics, participate for all the reasons above.
LONG TERM PROFITABLE RELATIONSHIP
Whether you win or lose, StoryEngine Hackathon participants become part of our family. Impact Club, the StoryEngine Ecosystem has donated more than $750,000 to local charities. And is on-pace to donate millions annually, in the next 24 months. Opportunities for great StoryEngine Mechanics will be abundant. And, we’re smart enough to know, today’s runner-up is tomorrow’s StoryEngine Mechanic of the Year.
