A new type of media that doesn't currently exist is one that I tried to create and promote myself 2 years ago at a New York Comic book convention: Comic Book Collaboration. You see, comic books seem to target a niche market nowadays, and its golden age has slipped into the past. Sure, comic book movies continue to be box office juggernauts ( no pun intended), but the actual comic is hardly mainstream anymore. A common excuse for this is that kids and young adults are highly involved in digital media, and comic book companies have tried, with moderate success, to transition into this form with digital comic books.
My idea is to have a website where a customer can sign up and give their idea for a story. Then, a team of artists bring the story to life in both paper form and digital form, the difference being the digital form would be a motion comic books, where the panels from the pages come to life.
I strongly believe this is a new media that will someday, probably through a company like Disney, will flourish.
This sounds like a cool idea. Who keeps the right to the work though? The person who gave the idea or the artists who created it?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I wonder why the comic book convention didn't hop on it. I definitely see potential and sounds like every comic book kids dream.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea and business venture and a way to get the older and newer generations slowly more connected through a technology such as this.
