I've been waiting patiently for 3 years for this class, and it’s more beautiful than I ever imagined! Brainstorming for a story begins. (a story that I’ll literally have a minute to tell)
I want to base my story off of the gaming community/culture and videogames as a whole. I have a vague idea of the base plot and want it to look like something out of a game. Something along the lines of a hero rising up and fighting the final boss for whatever magical thingy he quests for/wants.
In my imagination (… :D …) I imagine the hero being a stereotyped parody of a ninja/super soldier/Scotsman or lumberjack . (For the sake of aesthetic comedy… it’s also subject to change) The villain I imagine as some kind of evil, mustache-twirling, caped dude. (The name “Doctor Baron Von Evil-Satan” is stuck in my head thanks to red vs. blue.)
But these are just my base ideas, I’ll have to look into what makes videogames tick as a whole in terms of plot first before anything is solidified. (I’m a gamer, this won’t be hard.)
So, knowing me, I’ll probably jump the gun and start storyboarding my vaguest of ideas into a foundation for the real brainstorming sometime this evening and/or tomorrow. In the meantime I’ll await my newly ordered textbook (which should help with crafting stories for visual storytelling) to arrive tomorrow and wait for an email I think my character animation instructor told me she would be sending with our first assignment. (Aside from making a blog.)
... :D
