Whether that story is told through a person on camera, real-world footage, AI-generated visuals, animation, graphics or a combination of all four, you should know what the audience needs to see, hear and feel at every point of the story.

If you're someone who is constantly asking, What's the interesting story here, or believe This is awesome information parents need to know, we want to hear from you.
