Hi, I'm Tyler. I write things and make things. This is where the stuff that falls out of my brain lives. Also: dog photos. My book, Comics for Film, Games, and Animation: Using Comics to Construct Your Transmedia Storyworld is coming out next summer from Focal Press.
I was working for this jack-of-all-trades kind of client. We did everything from newspaper ads to massive events media planning and logistic. One day, he stumbled upon my animation reel.
Client: “You know, I saw your animations last night. They are pretty good.”
Me: “Thank you sir.”
Client:…
While I enjoyed the read, there was one glaring problem, no doubt to my own expectations of the book. I was hoping for a 21st century version of Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, looking at our modern mythological beings, superheros. While some of the book showed that promise, the autobiographical sections killed that central conceit. Nonetheless, a worthwhile read, and one of the more interesting looks at comics.
