Q How did you first get interested in illustrating stories Aaron Sowd I grew up with no TV, so when I discovered comics as a kid, they changed my life they had both words and pictures I started off reading all the Tintin and Asterix comics that I found at my local library, then I moved on to superhero comics. When I was seven, Star Wars came out and changed my life yet again. I saved up my allowance to buy the Joe Johnson sketchbook and the Ralph Mc.

But I didnt really yet know what storyboards were. I thought that I wanted to build models or maybe do special effects. I remember building and blowing up a lot of TIE Fighter models with firecrackers in my basement and trying to film it Trevor Goring When I was reading novels as a child, I always visualized the story in my head. Before I got into comics I read science fiction and horror books, particularly H. P. Lovecraft. He left a lot to the imagination, so I filled in the blanks. It wasnt until I discovered Marvel comics in the mid sixties and became enamored with Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and Gene Colon and later Jim Steranko that I became interested in drawing comics. On reflection, perhaps it was because these artists told the story themselves through their art and not from the full script of a writer. They had more visual freedom. I later found it easier to adapt a film script than a full comic script. Film scripts give more latitude to tell the story the way the artist envisions it. A full comic script lays out every frame and the writer often chooses what frames are on the page. In a film script, the artist is the one who breaks down the script beats, visually.

You usually have more time you can be more nuanced because in a film the director needs to be able to see instantly whats going on in the frame. In a comic the reader can take more time looking at panels. Also, you have no production budget concerns in the sense that you can draw anything and it doesnt have to be built in actuality. In a storyboard you can do as many shots as you want and it gets cut down later. At the beginning you can make the scene as long as you want and come up with as many ideas as possible and then they cut it down from there. Some directors will give you very specific shot counts, more like a comic. But with the funeral scene in Alan Taylors Thor The Dark World, I was initially left to my own discretion. On a comic you can be restricted to a certain page count in which you have to express the script a limited amount of space in which to tell the story. Iron Siege was also adapted from a screenplay but I had the page count limitation. I primarily worked with Andrew Hong, who wrote the script with James Abraham. Aaron Master. Minds was fun because its my creator owned comic and I get to do whatever I want. Its my baby. It appeared in Komikwerks 1, an anthology book. I worked on it with my writing partners Lance Karutz and James Denning, and wed have a blast coming up with storylines, gags, and scenes I wanted to draw. Later, when we were developing it as an animated feature, we did a short and I brought Stan Lee in as the voice of the narrator. Stan did it as a favor to me, and Ill always be eternally grateful to him for that. After Earth was a much different process. I was brought on late in the game by Will Smith and Caleeb Pinkett and we worked directly with M. Night Shyamalan and the studio to get the movie where Will wanted it to be. They entrusted me with their baby. I boarded a lot of scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor or the digital trash can, as I guess it must now be called. Its easy for someone like Frank Miller to sit down and do Sin City alone, as an auteur. He does it all. The film director as auteur is much more rare. Hitchcock is considered one, but he worked with an entire crew to get the film he wanted. So is that fair In film, Im often trying to bring someone elses vision to life, be it the directors, the writers, the studios, or a combination of all three. The very nature of film is collaborative by necessity, whereas comics can easily be done by a single creator. That creator designs the characters, writes the script, acts as the actors when he draws the characters, acts as the set designer, the lighting designer the entire crew in essence. Creating your own comic is like doing your own movie, but with no budget limitations. Youre really only limited by your imagination, your singular vision. Its much more personal. Master. Minds comics page, Aaron SowdAfter Earth storyboard panels, Aaron Sowd. Q Your collaboration with every director is different, right Aaron Some let me do my own thing and give me little to no feedback. Others will create a shot list for me, or draw thumbnails, or take reference photos. Sam Raimi knows exactly what he wants to see on screen, so he provided me with all three. I like working with directors who provide a strong creative vision but allow you to collaborate and be part of the process. Sam is the best Trevor When I did the title sequence for Watchmen, Zach Snyder drew small thumbnails before I was briefed by the production designer Alex Mc. Dowell. Then Zach approved the final drawings. Watchmen storyboard panels, Trevor Goring. Q Which comics projects are you most proud of Aaron Probably Batmans Harley Quinn 1. It was the first appearance of Harley Quinn in comics. Paul Dini wrote it, Yvel Guichet penciled it, and I inked it. It sold out and has been reprinted countless times since. Also, Master. Minds. Trevor Im usually most happy with my most recent works, because I learn as I draw and I apply the new knowledge in each subsequent work. Frank Miller comics Wikipedia. Frank Miller born January 2.

And comics editors said, Where are the guys in tights And I had to learn how to do it.
