THE IDEA


Welcome to the site of my upcoming project:

"ALTRAZAN"

Voices of the River

This is a project I've been working on in bits and pieces for several years, but now I've finally got everything I need to power my way through this. I hope to have it done within a year or so. 

Altrazan is the fusion of my two favorite things: "Comics" and "Animation." It will be an online html hosted story, half graphic novel, half movie clips and animated GIFs. In other words: We're going to "Watch a Comicbook".... Or is that "Read a Movie?"

I call it: The Interactive Graphic Novel.

The point in all of this is to essentially create a movie out of a web-comic; A little bit of animation in the comics, a little bit of comic-book in the animation.

What kind of movie? My favorite of course... the Animated Feature Film. In other words, I'm making a "Disney Movie" with the same kind of story, artwork, characters, composition, even right down to the characters actually, breaking into song on occasion. That's right. I'm going all in on this.
