Session
Backbone of character development
For every successful fictional character created, is always a backstory in order for the character or characters to resonate with the audience.
My session will explore the five W’s and the one H,
Where, who, what when, why and How.
We will explore several popular character arc’s and what it is that drives them along the way and also explore how this process is used for developing new characters for clients as well as reinventing older characters.
We will experience a lot of humor along the journey.
