Concept for next assignment - Circular Narrative

My creativity is being tested yet again.  This time, I have to write a narrative told across at least five web pages.  I brainstormed many ideas.  Some of them were absolutely ridiculous and others were workable.... sort of. 

The idea is to come up with a narrative told from different perspectives.  Each narrative has to be on its own web page.  Here are some of the ideas I had:

END OF THE WORLD
It is the final moments of the end of the world and each of the narratives are told from different peole with their own interpretation of the events taking place.
* A teenager   * An elderly couple  *  A full time mother  * A business man

FAIRY TALE REUNION
The characters are getting back together for a reunion and things may not go so well.
* Little Red Riding Hood   * The Wolf   * Sleeping Beauty   *Cinderella   *The Prince   * Rapunzel   *The Evil Queen

SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE
The ingredients have differing opinions of who is vital to the success of brilliant spag bol. 
*Spaghetti   *Tomato   *Garlic   *Basil   *Cheese   *Mince

AND THIS IS THE CONCEPT I AM WORKING ON.  "HARRY'S FUNERAL"
Harry has passed away and rather than have eulogies at his funeral, he has requested everyone write a note, make a donation and leave it at that.  Simple and without any fuss.
* Harry's Wife   * Harry's Son   * Harry's Daughter   * Harry's Boss   * Harry's Best Friends

Comic Strip - You Should Always Read The Label!

For my comic strip, I decided to take a comedic approach and shrink my husband.  Being that he likes to be the centre of attention, he was happy to pose for photos and then the hard work began.

I found the most difficult part of the process was coming up with a concept.  Inspired by a cross between Alice In Wonderland and Land Of The Giants, I plotted my story line and created a story board so I knew the photos required for each frame.

Experimenting with Photoshop was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the vast array of tutorials available on line.  I worked through each frame very quickly and wish I had more time to apply more effects (in particular, I would have liked to adjust Craig's appearance into that of a typical comic book character).

I decided to draw the background in an effort to add depth to the scene.  Initially, I had photographed backgrounds but I found these took away from the actual image and made the scene look very cluttered.  I think the result (whilst my drawing skills are appalling) turned out well.

While this particular entry was quite rushed, I am happy with the final result and pleased to be sharing it with you.

Animation fun

During my last Digital Writing class we explored the hilarious world of animation using YouTube's GoAnimate and Xtranormal.  Fun, fun, fun.  I probably should have taken more from the class but I found myself exploring making the characters say my name.  So funny!
