clarification

dropped in some flat colors for this old storyboard so you could follow the action a little better. did it work?

storyboarding 2

my cubicle neighbor vince white is a graphic designer who has worked in the comic book industry and is always thinking of a project or two that could be his triumphant return. one character he created that i responded to was will power, a high school football player who is transported to the future, where he realizes his body is ultra dense and indestructible compared to other matter.

a comic fan myself, i often serve as a sounding board for vince's endless ideas and revisions. in this case, i took it upon myself to draw a storyboard of how i saw will power's origin being presented.

storyboarding 1

at times during my IT career, desperate measures must be taken to fill the gaps in workflow. one way to kill a good chunk of hours is to write something, and i couple of times i've tried my hand at a long form comic book script. this page is a practice run of how the storytelling would move forward, if not the exact layout or style.

this was an idea my work friend vince white and i used to chat about. it takes place in a world where countries are represented by single warriors rather than whole military forces, and special ops teams would hunt down the runner in a high-stakes game of capture the flag that would determine the outcome of each war.
