The Lucky Horn is an unfolding paper minicomic I created about an unlucky crazy cat with a saw... It's a metanarrative where the characters interact with the reader who will have to follow their instructions to unfold the comic.
The physical experience of reading the paper comic of The Lucky Horn is unique, but I wanted to translate it to digital... so I created the motion comic and you can watch it right here:
This is the motion comic I created of The Lucky Horn!!! I edited the whole video in Adobe After Effects. The music is by Blue Wave Theory and the sounds from freesound.org (see end of video for credits).
The original format of The Lucky Horn is an unfolding comic. See below the cover of the printed original version with some of the sketches that I've done to develop my crazy characters:
I wanted to use a single piece of paper and involve the reader in the narrative. I also restricted the colour palette to black&white, this forced me to use classic halftone techniques to simulate grey shades.
How can you you get a Lucky Horn??
