The Room part one

last year I had an epiphany of sorts that I'm sure was brought on by my listening insistenly to a certain musical group whom we shall label for the time being The(the-e) Metanoya. Around this time back then as I was listening to this particular song I was struck with a sudden inspiration. I would do a comic to "The Room." a sort of music video only in a comic form, it would of course be only a few pages long and inked and obviously I would have to take some considerable artistic liberty, but I think it would be a worthwhile endevour since everyone's been bugging me to try something like it.


Now, one may ask "How would you accomplish such a feat? isn't a music video about the music? how can you convey something like that in a medium that is essentially silent?" to which I would, of course, reply"We use our imagination!"(I'm sure I left it around here somewhere...) I would simply use only the lyrics instead of any real dialogue so as not to prevent any mix up of characterization since I suck at dialogue (is a fact). What I am trying to acheive here is something where the images would coincide with the sounds and what you might be feeling listening to this song. Of course this would mean that I'd have to match the rythm and flow to that of the song which isn't something I've got alot of experience in... but lord willing with his help I'll be able to get the hang of it... eventually....


"The Room" is a classic storytelling song from which I'm sure countless skits and such have been done from, not to mention it has all the elements to make it work... dialogue, a somewhat hazy plot, and with the help of The Metanoya, atmosphere. all of which are what make a good comic strip of any length... which gives me much more to work with than most other songs... basically it's alot more literal than them. Sooo mix in a bit of creativity, prayer, inspiration and a lot of hard work and hey! presto! you have a comic stripp! or something around those lines...

P.S. sorry for the silence I've just gotten off a punishment :D
