This course is designed for students to workshop their own narratives, projects, and works-in-progress for animation, short/long films, video, commercial media, interactive media, game creation, graphic novels, and short or long-form pieces of writing (scripts, novels, children’s books, short stories, etc...). It is an open forum/roundtable where students can bring pieces of writing or media into the class and share with other students, using each other as editors, collaborators, and ideators. The course also offers students the opportunity to work on one large/longer project, or several short self-initiated projects, queuing them up for success in the BFA Senior Capstone experience (DMD4075). We will learn how to use, break, and rearrange storytelling mechanics as well as identify our personal creative process throughout the semester.
