My idea is for the comic book industry. It's basically the next step in comic book art.

Most comic books are drawn, inked, and then colored on the computer with various coloring programs. Some comics are painted like Earth X, by Alex Ross. Others are trying to make the clothing characters wear more realistic, like some X-Men titles. I've even seen some comics made with computer animated screenshots of 3-D modeled characters. The premise behind all this, obviously, is that comic books are trying to look increasingly more realistic. I want to take comic books in a new direction. Comic books are cinematic in nature, trying to emulate the camera angles and scene changes of most action movies. Comic books are like slide shows, leaving much to the imagination. If we could take live pictures of models in different poses, depicting different actions and feelings, almost like a freeze-frame from a movie, photographing them primarily on blue-backgrounds, with various props and such, then adding real-life or computer-animated backgrounds, and manipulating them to look like comic-book characters, then we could create a realistic and believable storyline the likes of which comic books and movies couldn't even touch. Comics: art. pure and simple. an artist's drawing of fantasy real-life. Movies: lack the technology to make form-fitting realistic-looking suits that aren't made out of rubber. Also, yellow and other colors don't transfer over to film very well. Plus, we don't have a million-dollar budget. The reason the models need to be nude. is that I can manipulate their skin-tones and make it look like they are wearing super-tight clothing, by then adding a few wrinkles. If I get pictures done with a digital camera, it would be a lot less expensive. Plus, you can take certain creative liberties when working on a comic book. Like for a crowd in the distance, I could posterize the colors and blur the image. Less work. Plus, a vast majority of the backgrounds could be computer-generated. It's like cut-and-paste! And the panels are small, with some of it being covered with text boxes, so less work there. I think it could work!

Technically, I have no idea how to do any of this. I taught myself in a couple of weeks. I didn't need to make any moving-animated backgrounds, and I don't hardly know how to use that program, either. Imagine what a seasoned-veteran could do! Besides which, the artwork isn't my main concern anyways. I am practically depending on the talent of the photographer and models to pull you into the story. Well, and the image artist, and the conceptual artist, and the scriptwriter, and the animator, and . . . but primarily the photographer!
