TR!CKSTER Symposium 8

SYMPOSIUM 8:
THURSDAY, 7/21/11, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
BUILDING A SHORT STORY: CRIME AND TERROR: LIVE
Featuring STEVE NILES and SCOTT MORSE
The daunting task of creating a short story can boggle the mind of any creator. Finding a productive, inspired rhythm in a creative team is paramount to the economy and productivity of a comics project. Creators are inherently self-starters, but where and how you begin your creative process has plagued even the greatest minds. Where do you begin with an idea? At what point do you put it to paper? How do you begin to design the visual aesthetics of a story? What inspires not only the idea, but the urge to create? Join award-inning storytellers STEVE NILES and SCOTT MORSE as they create, from scratch and before an intimate, live audience, an original short story from start to finish, ready to deliver to a printer. Key shortcuts and secrets of page design, plot development, character, staging, dialogue, lettering, and more will be featured in real time as a 6 to 8 page story is executed for their new hardcover series CRIME AND TERROR.

Oh, and some of us might be drinking whiskey all crime noir-style.

PERFECT FOR: writers and storytellers producing comics, and those hoping to.

TICKET PRICE INCLUDES A COPY OF THE LIMITED EDITION HARDCOVER BOOK, "A GLIMPSE OF CRIME AND TERROR".
