Well, back when I asked ya'll about which story to work on next, I
mentioned a Lego stop-motion video. A few days later, I posted a few
screenshots. Since then, my goal changed a little. See, if any of you have ever made or attempted to make a stop-motion flick, then you know that
it takes FOREVER. On the order of a few weeks for every two minutes or so. And
Deep Red was too big a story to tell in thirty seconds. :)
So, I switched gears. I had dabbled with a certain program a while back, really enjoyed it, and rather forgotten about it in the hubbub that was finals. Well, partway through my realization that making a full-length feature film for
Deep Red was impossible, I remembered it.
And ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the result:
Deep Red; the graphic novel; in Lego.
And that's just the first two pages! There's nine more, as of right now, which constitute one section (or four pages, if you like), of text in the actual book.
So, what do you think? Nifty visualization, or epic fail?
I think that's really well done! Building that ship looks like it must have been a pain - what software did you use to get the comic-book-type effects? It looks really professional.
ReplyDeleteMy only complaint is that it's too small to read the text properly without zooming in, hehe xP
What was the program? It looks awesome. I wanna do that for my book! ;-)
ReplyDelete@ Charley: Depends how you define pain... I enjoyed building it :P And if you click on the pic, it opens it up nice and large. The next few will have larger text though, just for you. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd the program is ComicLife2. I have a 30 day trial for now, we'll see how much I use it between now and then :)
Cool! I've never thought about telling a story using Legos. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome my friend :)
