COMICS
AND FILM
MONDAY 03 MAY, 4.00PM
While the cinema seems to be obsessed with comic book adaptations in recent years, this panel looks at the more general phenomenon of the dialogue between comics and film as comic book creators help design movies and draw storyboards for moving pictures and in turn, film has started to dictate the format of modern comics.
Panellists include:
Chris Weston is a former 2000AD and now US comics artist. He also provided designs for the Denzel Washington post-apocalyptic
movie The Book of Eli.
Howard Webster is an award-winning photographer who has combined film and sequential art in the web comic. The Many
Worlds of Jonas Moore, which combines
comic book art with both images and action movie sequences starring Colin Salmon.
Cyriak Harris is one of the hottest viral animation creators in the UK and an ident designer for E4. He comes from a background drawing underground comics and sees a direct link with the creation of his CGI cartoons.
