Freedom within Boundaries – Presentation
I spoke in Second Life at Met@Morph, the first annual Web Comics Comic-Con and Conference, on Friday October 3rd (today). My presentation was called “Freedom within Boundaries: the Theory and Practice of Constraint in Comics.” I only had 20 minutes so it’s a fairly shallow look at the topic. You can see the slides here (1mb pdf).
Unfortunately, Verizon disconnected my internet connection while I was presenting. Fortunately, I did a rough run through the night before and made up a slide plus audio version for those who didn’t make it to the event. Should be viewable below:
