Moving Pictures: A Graphic Serial
I think technology will help me finally tell this retro story.
I wrote a “spec” script for a television pilot many years ago. It went nowhere then, but the story about actors and actresses in 1944 Hollywood adjusting to the expanding and contracting opportunities for women and the expanding and contracting dreams for blacks stayed with me through the years.
I tried to adapt the story to text and to hire artists to create a graphic novel, but neither seemed to turn out right (or complete).
Then I tapped into Midjourney and LeonardoAI, and the universe said, ‘here you go!’
Maybe.
I think I can create illustrated panels using AI to tell my story.
This is where I try.
I would love for you to interact with me on this journey. I will post at least one panel weekly (I have a rather demanding day job), but I hope to do more faster. The pilot script is already written so that I can focus on the art.
It’s all free for now. I would love for you to comment on the art, the story, and the experience.
