Mixed Medium Storytelling
12 years ago
General
Taking a load off.
Some events in my life make me rethink where I stand as an artist/creator. The more I go on the more I realize that my focuses take inspirations from loads of different medias. There are elements of classical literature, Hollywood blockbuster, Broadway musical, video games, Saturday morning cartoons, comic books, and all kinds of other random things that influence my world building process.
I've gotten down to thinking: "Is there a way to blend these together into some sort of super media?"
A problem I have with current storytelling trends is that everyone is moving towards "realism" when it comes to storytelling. You see it in our Hollywood movies, we see it in our video games: these fabrications of reality are infecting everything! The only thing that seems unaffected are stage dramas and musicals which still rely on imagination and effectively use dynamic lighting and set design to convey their meanings. I think these elements need to be brought back into our mainstream storytelling formats. Especially the movies.
Lately I've been thinking how I want to write a script that pulls in elements of stage theatre, the color and manic energy of a carnival, the lively character design of animation, and the dramatic character arcs and themes of literature. I don't know what the story will be, but I'm always on the look out for what story will have all the right elements to make this conceptual project a reality.
Anyways, that's currently my dream project as a creator and I hope that it will develop into a feasible work someday.
