Shonda Rhimes and Cyndi Stivers: The future of storytelling | TED

[@bamboozleberry2786]

Proud to say that this woman is my idol

[@jayendrajoshi4666]

Ted Talks can really help you to enhance your observations for human behaviour

[@kuberan927]

Are you referring to how the host reacts and acts towards the guest?

[@jayendrajoshi4666]

Kuberan Poovalingam exactly!!!

[@vladolkhovetsky1070]

noticed it more and more as the video played

[@Toby57548]

Jayendra Joshi what did you notice?

[@tyspeaks6104]

I definitely agree ! Better than any college lecture in my opinion

[@xfccfcxccvc327]

I am writing my own fictional story and watching and listening to Shona, I feel inspired even more.

[@tuicastro4431]

You're doing it wrong! Turn off all side noise and FOCUS ON YOUR MIND!

[@justvilde283]

I really love and respect Shonda Rhimes. I wish the interviewer would give some space for discussion or her to really speak, I found it frustrating that she really tried to push her own agenda of being relevant and topical. Still enjoyed it though

[@pauline-c38]

Just Vilde i agreem something about it feels cold

[@MaybeRelatable]

Shonda rhimes is very very very intelligent woman. #respect

[@tuicastro4431]

But you're not! Nor are tgose people who liked your comment! 😄

[@zebakhawaja]

The voice in the head of what you learnt and would teach when you know something another doesn't. Give people a second hand experience by sharing a story.

[@jeffyylikesapples]

She hates the questions and can tell the interviewer isn't really listening.

[@WamuyuGatheru]

Shonda may unknowingly intimidate people! The interviewer is not relaxed. So interview was all over the place leaving an unsettling impression

[@michelgabe1629]

When they said: "Games can't tell good storys, cuz they lose the authors original intentention and power" games dont have to make you the all powerful author of the story. you can just play a character, and your actions have the consequences the author decided to give them. thats how the message is conveyed. I think these people didnt Play alot of storydriven Game e.g. taletale games and therby put really little effort into actually considering games as a enhancement of story telling, cuz of their biases. YOu can just make a movie, where the viewer decides if the protagonist hair colour is black or white: that would be a game and the story would still be as powerful.

[@David-kd4qr]

Plus games can range from open ended (aka skyrim) to playing a story a la The Last of Us. The is especially lacking coming from "Grey's Anatomy" aka not a story driven show. Not that it doesn't have a story, but it's not like people talk about as one of the great stories on TV.

[@timmcc6899]

I feel somewhat slighted by this comment. As a 40 year old that has been playing videogames my entire life as a preferred form of entertainment, I think you sound somewhat biased against her point of view. I understand the point she is trying to make. Stories impact us more if they come from another's perspective because we learn more from things we don't already know. The more we have control over the outcome of a story, the less impactful it is, because we already know how we'll deal with most situations. If someone else has complete control, we're less inclined to know the outcome. Its why you see less plot development with sandbox games like Minecraft, because there's more freedom of control handed over to the player. While I enjoy the freedom of control myself, I think she makes a very valid point.

[@TheRealE.B.]

I thought it was kind of funny how they're talking about how good stuff is somehow hidden under mounds of bad content. In the age of search engines, stuff is very easy to find. The small-producer content I follow on KZbin (and didn't have to look very hard for) is so high-quality, that only the very best shows on "traditional" television can even hold my attention.

[@michelgabe1629]

Tim McC i thought i should now give an example for story enhancement: you have a coming of age story of a black girl in the 50th. You struggle with racial discrimination and you have the choice to conform or dont conform to these social structures. In School someone is always beating you up, when you decide to hit back, the principle punishes you. The player feels like he is always Losing no matter what he does. That gives you the authentic feeling most afro americans had at that time. All the other Charakters and for the most part the controled Charakter too are Designed by the author, he just designs multiple paths for them. Of course its hard to do right, just Like in movies its harder to present an idea as in books. But if done right(Ending of brother:tale of two sons) it is so much more impactful in my opinion, because you are part of the story.

[@timmcc6899]

I'm well aware of that, which is why your comment adds nothing constructive to the conversation. My point was that he tried to label as some 40+ 'old person', therefore could know nothing about storytellng in videogames was a baseless argument, given some of the greatest are far older than even I ... Shigeru Miyamoto was working for Nintendo the year I was born is just one example. That this woman works as a story creator in the entertainment industry gives her far more insight and authority on how the stories are created than some butthurt gamer too wet behind the ears to not know what they're talking about. Again, as much as I love videogames, and the storytelling that goes into them, I think she makes a very valid point about the differences in emotional investment people place in mediums such as movies and television, as compared to videogames. We, as individuals, are constantly changing our perspectives, based upon the information we learn from the outside world. It does no harm to learn from a more reasonable and experienced standpoint, rather than being a fanboy who has a dummy spit.

[@erickoontz6835]

Okay, having now read the majority of the comments, it's apparent that Cyndi Stivers either needs some training for her job or perhaps needs to step aside. Those shoes alone will not make the conversation interesting.

[@SnipeyDaSniper]

I love ted talks, but there it sounds like there is a total disconnect between the host and interviewee and change that has already come and is coming.

[@pauline-c38]

I thought I would be the only one noticing the awkwardness of this interview.

[@tarrynpangel4733]

This interview is cringe

[@ethannavarre-cantrell6748]

Anyone else thinking about fahrenheit 451 when the hostess asked about "choosing direction"

[@jcardenas7143]

Great interview! Thank you.

[@SusansEasyRecipes]

Great video and interesting topic. Thanks TED for the videos 😊

[@erickoontz6835]

Cyndi Stivers seems to be made of wood. She is rigid and ungiving; something false about her, while Rhimes is trying her best to make this an interesting time. The interviewer cannot follow Rhimes' lead. What a pity!

[@nicnikx2]

Preach at 7:10 - making a camp fire / a shared experience

[@linahamudot2592]

Shonda Rhimes really shouldn't be lead by a host. She has a well of information and it feels like she is not happy to be there and forced to answer the questions.

[@teresabrewer903]

Shonda looks the way I feel during a job interview, no fault of her own. The interviewer is wayyy too stiff and cold😒

[@zebakhawaja]

Intuition is the prophecy of knowing what might can possibly happen based on information outsourced which can be a prediction of the future event and the thoughts are is the imagination seen as a reality

[@tatiyah7210]

I dont know you shonda rhimes i disciver you by your 3 series and i adore the ideas the way to present the serie the vision. I am in admiration of ur work and i hope to discover more of you

[@ayailyasfatima383]

*When u have exam, but still watch it!!!* (already revised)

[@umalizaabdirhmn8567]

Valuable talk

[@prockstem]

We live in a world where fictitious stories come to life.

[@KonniWynn]

I don't think she understands how choice-based games work. It's not like you choose your favorite outcome, nay, sometimes you make seemingly minor decisions that changes the course of the story. The impact this gives EVERY single conversation and action choice is gigantic. It's like real life, only that WHEN your home is burned down, you can't do anythig about it!

[@OniTan22]

Their home burned down. Sooooo glad we have our buildings insured and secure. Prayers for recovery. And unity.

[@georgiahaung4]

Every good 😊

[@juanandresposso9303]

Streamers are the new storytellers

[@ganeshghate777]

Do anything whatever you want but perceive only that things that is important for your improvement...Don't look at things only bad vision all things are important for human nature....But choose only good things in it...because of it you can enhance you understanding of good things and execute them in your life... Explanation is awesome in this video.

[@shethewriter]

METAFICTION IS HEREEEE

[@Bobthepro]

Iiiiiii lovvvvveee TED talks

[@Allies-36.69]

[@Mican945]

Terrible host

[@ddk6743]

Brilliant!

[@lidicirilo]

Talking about stories, please, stop Jackggie! We want Japril back. Find someone who really understands Maggie!

[@elich1985]

amen amen amen. God bless you.

[@jenniferh.588]

The woman doing the interview is annoying

[@JorgeHernandez-ot8yi]

The questions were so bland and it’s like she wasn’t paying attention to Rhimes’ views and opinions. This interview could have taken an interesting turn but it was stunted by those stupid questions.

[@rennyzero420]

it's hard to moonwalk wearing slippers FYI

[@anthonyelegy9754]

The host cheeses me

[@cyoung7127]

good talk but didn't need to be 20 minutes

[@poetry_on_standby6440]

Strange to say but she moves her hands like a writer. Like Mindy does. Wonder why

[@lebo_tenza]

Shonda, please dont take interviews with hosts like this lady. Even a TV freshman can do better job than this Cyndi Stivers. No follow up questions on your responses, she just moves to the next question?? My Goodness..... !!! NXAAAHHH

[@t_melloon1902]

I think this woman's opinions are wack for the most part

[@sauldecine1432]

Great guest, bad interview. Discomfort is conveyed.

[@Отзнанийкпользе]

Кто-нибудь из вас знает русский?

[@David-kd4qr]

нет, но google делает!!

[@asdpro4204]

ага

[@SuillaIsAwesome]

От знаний к пользе totally

[@MirandaBond]

Terrible interviewer!!
