RSS FeedThere's a new interview with Stuart Moore and myself discussing the process of putting together THE NIGHTMARE FACTORY series of graphic novels.
An excerpt:
O'Shea: How has screenwriting influenced your approach toward the comics medium (if at all) and vice versa?
Harris: Honestly, I think my ambitions to direct more influence my comic scripts more than the actual screenwriting does. When writing comics, I set out to direct the movie on paper. I love the collaboration with my artists. I tend to view them as both my cast and cinematographer. When the partnership is good, the only thing I appreciate more than an incredible depiction of the panel just as I saw it is an artist's rendition that brings something out of the panel, the page, book, etc. that I never saw coming. But make no mistake. I'm sitting in my mental director's chair while curled up at my desk and scripting the book. My scripts direct the camera and the actors and I'm cutting the movie in my head while shooting the entire time.
