Writing Hit Super Hero and Fantasy: A Joss Whedon Case Study OnDemand Webinar
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
From his script doctoring of Toy Story and Speed to the creation of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and Firefly to the international blockbuster Avengers movies, Joss Whedon's scripts have inspired both a passionate cult following and a mass audience. How does he do this? By centering every plot move, story element and even every action sequence on character first.
In this webinar you'll explore how Whedon creates characters and how he creates stories to explore them even in the context of billion-dollar superhero franchises -- and how you can bring the same blend of intimacy and spectacle to your own scripts.
