Any Artist Interested in Turning Short Stories into Short Films?

Albany NY

Description

Looking for an artist to collaborate with on turning existing short stories into comic-like / storyboard-like short films (5 - 15 minutes max.) How it'll work is: --- I send you the short story --- We discuss via video chat how to visualize the story (angles, blocking, dialog etc.) --- You adapt the story into a comic / storyboard. I'll can help with coloring in Photoshop. We'll be touching base after a certain number of pages / panels just to make sure we both approve the work. --- I find actors to do the voiceovers and also purchase all sound effects and rights to a soundtrack. --- I go out and shoot B-Roll. For example, if our characters are in a park, I'll go to an actual park and film it; use that footage to lead to the panel of the characters in the park. If a character is sitting on a chair, I can take a picture of a chair and you draw the character sitting on the real chair... kind of the live-action movies with cartoons in real life. Another example is if a character is being arrested, I'll use my studio lights to create a video of flashing police lights which I'll superimpose on the drawing... so we get movement on a still image. --- I edit the storyboard in Davinci Resolve Studio, adding the voiceovers, soundtracks, sound effects and transitions between panels alongside the B-Roll footage to make a fluid story. --- We keep discussing via video chat and make any necessary changes before publishing the video on YouTube as a short film. We'll split ALL royalties (minus expenses e.g. pay for voiceover actors) in half. This includes ad revenue and any licensing (including features.) If the video doesn't make any money or nothing comes of it, I'll still foot all the expenses and we both end up with material to add to our portfolios. If interested, please send me a link to your work.
