The main issue of this week was " intellectual property and understanding the business we now are entering by studying at this school; understanding the business as a "relationship business being able to work with others, and understanding your own limitations, being strong, and taking decisions.
We discussed what makes a great "artist" - a great story. And what exactly an "audience" means. Mostly and audience is something you can control, still you have the power to direct your work - if that's what you want.
We worked with World building, interesting character design, pitching methods, and story structure, memory testing of interest and thumbnailing - free association and brainstorming.
Here is a character design I did from a story/world project names "Wood stick".
A master brain creates a digital world for people to escape from the boring reality...His name is Wood Stick. But what happens when the real world suddenly starts to disappear?
As another writing text be worked with free association. Steven explained how he "translated " a book from Danish to English, but without knowing a word of Danish. He tried to look at the pictures and stick to the single words that he knew and make a text that he assumed would be the right story- This ended up creating a different kind of comic book, with another theme and another main character.
Earlier this year each of the students in my class created a 12 page comic book that we now would use for the same purpose. I was handed the comic of Sofie Louise Dam. But because we knew the text beforehand she would have to delete all the text written, so that I could fill it out with a new text and hopefully a different (and better) story. This is my result.
