The Visual Creator’s Guide to Storyworlds

October 27, 2019 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm GMT

Free – $35
  • « VUE Ecosystems Workshop
  • Visual Story Writing : From Inception to Production »

Rich storyworlds – the “universes” within which stories are set – provide detailed contextual rule sets that develop a larger reality that extends beyond a single story.

Creating effective visual narratives requires taking a step back and taking a proper bird’s eye view of the universe that your story will exist in.

The process of “World Building” as a container for your stories is the smart approach for gaining continuity and generating intrigue. It’s letting the reader know that your stories are held within a planned, comprehensive and compelling world to explore…….they simply won’t be able to wait for your next chapter!

In this webinar two-session class, Peter von Stackelberg, a professional futurist, illustrator and writer teaches a must-have framework for world building.
