Creating a We Are Story from scratch gives you full control over every detail of your content. Follow these steps to get started:
Step 1: Select "New Story"
Begin by clicking the New Story button in the upper right corner of your We Are dashboard. This will open up your options for creating a new Story.
Step 2: Choose "Start from Scratch"
From the options presented, select Start from Scratch.
You will then be prompted to give your Story a name, choose a location, and Character(s). This will take you to a blank Node Map where you can begin building your Story.
Step 3: Build your Story
Now it's time to let your creativity shine:
Add nodes: Start by adding nodes to represent different scenes or interactions in your Story. You can do this by clicking on the canvas and selecting the type of node you want to add (dialogue, response, poster, event, or end).
Arrange and connect: Drag and drop your nodes to arrange them in the order you want. Connect them to create a flow for your Story.
Customize: Click on each node to customize it. You can add text, animations, gestures, and more. This is where you can fully control the look and feel of each part of your Story.
Step 4: Review and refine
Once you’ve added all your nodes, take some time to review your Story. To review, click on the Play button on the right corner. Make any necessary tweaks to ensure everything flows smoothly. You can always go back and edit nodes to perfect your content.
Step 5: Share
Your Story edits are saved automatically. When you're ready, you can share your Story in a few ways:
Download and share: Save your Story as a video file to share on platforms like your LMS, intranet, or social media.
Copy and embed: Copy the shareable URL and use embedding services like Embed.ly or Iframely to seamlessly embed your Story into your preferred platform.
Creating a Story from scratch in We Are gives you the freedom to build exactly what you envision. Enjoy the process and make it your own!
