Hey, guys.
I've been thinking with the tendency for movies to be based on comic books, graphic novels, etc. I was thinking of trying to adapt my own book into a graphic novel, but I can't draw. Is there anyone who would like to collaborate with me on this potential project? Here are the details:
The b...

Expand commentI see. I think I'll work on adapting it into a video game, then (nothing big and 3D like today's games, a 2D game reminiscent of the days of yore with a balance between gameplay and story). Thank you.

So as mentioned earlier I’m gearing up to move my transmedia project into the pitching phase. From what I have reviewed on the subject of pitching there is generally a VERY finite amount of time to actually pitch the project. This might be fine for a standard feature but how do you pitch a film whic...

I agree with @Kay. Have a few pitches ready. Transmedia is an “Eco System” of an idea for multifaceted platform, some artists build up social media fans and self publish novelettes before even pitching to executive room.
Hi Ian Buchanan - I change my pitches depending on the research I find on the producer I wish to pitch to. In addition, before you pitch make sure you have the other elements readily available in case...
Expand commentHi - I'm looking for other people involved in VR content production (i.e. Oculus, 360, etc.). There are lots of problems to be solved and only emerging distribution channels. If you are working in the VR format, it would be great to connect.
Friends, how do you assess the prospects of 360 camera movement during the shooting? It is believed that it can cause nausea. On the other hand, the static camera it will limit dynamics. What the views would be?
Gentle camera movement and no shaky cam. It also helps to have something stationary in the frame (as if looking through a car window). However, we have found that calm camera motions are fine. Even fast camera motions if the newest objects are far work (think of a helicopter shot).
Thanks Greg! Do you have some own example? I saw the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-XZhKqQAHU&index=2&list=FLdk3unrgNeZwO1... Is there full CGI on green, or real time shooting too?...

Hey guys, for the better part of a decade, I've been working on a trans-media project currently titled "2250ad- Black Lion". Originally starting as a graphic novel project, I have been developing and am now nearing completion of the screenplay script adaptation.

Expand commentI want to adapt my screenplay to a graphic novel. This however is exhausting. I don’t have time in my life to draw it in panels. Is there a market for graphic novels where the format can stay somewhat the same and only have artwork that sets a mood or maybe one picture for important scenes? Any advise is appreciated.
Those who can and have time are illustrators, but they cost. I was once attached to one of the best illustrators at my homeland who back then did a lot of work for French publishers. His price (this is 20 yrs ago) was 100 euro / panel.
You can get pretty decent artists for around $150 per page for a completed page (coloured/inked and lettered). Higher-end artists are around $200 per page.
Thanks for that super-helpful information, Ian Buchanan! Would you know if that includes revisions by chance? When you said "completed page," my producer brain said, "oh, so $50 at signing, $50 at the...
Expand commentYeah I think that’s something that can be negotiated with the artist. They’ll work on some thumbnail sketches to get some page layouts in order before going into the main pencils, you’ll likely have s...

Apparently it's being cited as the most downloaded beta in PlayStation history. But it's Marvel (high exposure) during COVID (high demand/access) - so what's the appeal? How have you enjoyed it?
