Wunderman Comics provides graphic novelization services of screenplays, turning your script into a graphic novel. Amongst our clients is Nate Noggle's "Indestructible Will," where our creative team turned his screenplay into a ground breaking online mixed media graphic novel, www.indestructiblewill.com. Our creative team provides a full panoply of services that can transform your screenplay into a fully realized graphic novel, either on print or online, or both. Here's a quick break down of the process of turning a screenplay into a graphic novel:
Assessment - not all screenplays are suitable as graphic novels (i.e., "My Dinner with Andre" would not make a good graphic novel). Other considerations include page count (a 109 page screenplay is not automatically a 109 page graphic novel), art style, and determining what the final presentation medium (print, online, or both) for your project would be.
Adaptation - motion pictures and graphic novels share many similarities, chief amongst them being where the visual presentation can make or break a project. After that, the artistic considerations of both mediums differ greatly. Writing a script for a graphic novel and screenplay are two wholly separate undertakings with different skill sets. We can translate your screenplay for the graphic novel medium in a way that maintains the essence of your work.
Character Studies - these are the initial test drawings of the characters in your screenplay as they will appear in the graphic novel. This is the graphic novel version of casting.
Thumbnails - this is the first rough stage of producing graphic novels, where the mechanics of the action and dialogue are first worked out. It is the graphic novel equivalent of blocking a stage play or rehearsing a movie, where the written word first comes to life.
Finished artwork with text - your screenplay has been made into a graphic novel! Each client gets a free first edit of the finished graphic novel, and is responsible to copy edit their graphic novel. Further editing and alteration after first edit is billed to the client on an hourly basis. After final approval, client gets a computer file ready for them to show the world their screenplay brought to life.
Additional services - our partners also provide printing and web services at competitive rates so that you can publicize your screenplay. |
