You're joking, right?
The key to "being able to tell a story that others can follow and that is believable" is to actually know how to write a good story in the first place. Good technical aspects don't write the story for you. Oh, if only I could name all the films out there that have good technical aspects but are otherwise worthless, confusing films...
I'm absolutely not kidding. I don't know about you, but I personally don't bother watching Lego videos that feature... boring editing, lame cinematography, out-of-focus images, jerkiness as hell, pre-puberty voice acting that you can't even hear properly because of that rude microphone poppin' - you get the idea.
I think you misinterpreted what I was saying. Technical aspects are a requirement for telling a story well. I did not say they WERE the story. There's a difference between "telling a story" and "a story" (regardless of whether it's good or not).
The story itself has NOTHING to do with how (well) you tell it. An in fact very good story can be ruined by its presentation. A story can be told in an interesting, and in a boring way.
Understand what I mean?
