Do you feel like you have a whole host of ideas rattling around in your head but have no idea which one to focus on? Do you want guidance and advice as you prepare something new? Do you want a weekly meeting with tailored assignments to hold you accountable as you develop your next project?
If you said yes to any of these, then an Incubator is just what the doctor ordered! This four-week class will put you through your development paces and ensure that you get writing on the best foot possible.
This Class Will Cover:
- Story structure
- Keeping conflict interesting and escalating
- Crafting satisfying character arcs
- And more!
Deliver the central conceit, genre, world, tone - clearly and concisely at the top of your pitch. Then spend the bulk of your time on what we really care about - CHARACTER(S). Streamline the narrative through the POV and arc of your main character. What is their emotional journey? What's their core relationship and how do we watch them evolve?
Animated projects that are told from a specific vantage point that necessitates animation (as opposed to live action), while pushing the 'genre' into new exciting territory in terms of style, tone, POV, etc.
Superheroes.
