We begin with the old wisdom about what makes a character interesting and a story worth telling, then we get into how to compose and arrange pictures to make a story emotionally powerful. Whether you are designing shots for a film, pages for a children&#8217;s book, or panels for a graphic novel, you have two problems: making the story clear, and bringing it to life. We will study how great masters of pictorial storytelling use their craft to move an audience&#8217;s emotions.<\/p>\n<p>This course meets for multiple <em>in-person<\/em> sessions.

I&#8217;ve also taught it to the cinematics team at Blizzard Entertainment. For you, this is a boiled-down version of the course. The sessions will be packed with instruction, so be prepared to learn.<\/p>\n<p>The first sessions are a concentrated, foundational course on storytelling. The final sessions are a concentrated course in sequential shot design. I will explain some differences between various media, such as illustrated books, graphic novels, comic strips and films, but I will emphasize the fundamental discipline behind them all: telling the story with pictures, not words.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>Materials:<\/h5>\n<p>Bring a sketchpad and a mechanical pencil or pen or some other non-messy point media. No charcoal or dusty media or anything that leaves shavings.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>Note:<\/h5>\n<p>This is not a university curriculum course and you will not receive college credit for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seminar Endorsements Recommendations This course is for anyone who tells stories with pictures.
