About the final project for: Capturing Stories in Fantasy Comics
Capturing stories in fantasy comics
“Closing the course of the course, your final project is, at the same time, your work process and the step-by-step registration of the creative challenge of starting from an idea and turning it into words and images that tell a story. It is a body of creative material that includes: 1- The short story of a short story or chapter of the Science Fiction and Fantasy comic of four or five pages. 2- The technical script of a four or five page Science Fiction and Fantasy comic book story. 3- Schematic miniature illustrations, in pencil or ink, of the complete sequence of our four or five page history. 4- The selected page of the written sequence developed in full detail, finished in pencil. Share the experience of what you have been able to develop in each of these steps. Remember that these same, in future experiences that you want to continue developing, can be done, both individually and as a group. Discuss the experiences you have had at each stage of this process, so that we can learn together about each experience in the forum. And also those who do this work as a starting point for more extensive projects, applying the same process to another scale, it would be very interesting to see what paths, eventually, they can continue to explore stories they want to continue developing from this exercise. There are no limits other than imagination and the desire. ”
