canadian musician, lights, explores motions comics as a medium!
Pop Star LIGHTS up the Motion Comic Medium
With a series of motion comics to tell the story of her music.
This year, motion comics have gone from interesting curiosity to a major new initiative in the comics world. Halfway between comics and animation without being either, motion comics like Spider-Woman, Watchmen, and Astonishing X-Men have drawn in both the comics fan and casual readers. And the newest entry into the burgeoning medium of motion comics features comic artist Tomm Coker and up-and-coming music sensation Lights.
Lights Presents Audio Quest is a motion comic being published online at MTV.com, and features an illustrated and animated version of the musician Lights in a interstellar expedition to reclaim the music that was robbed from her homeworld. Think of it as one part Flash Gordon and one part Phonogram (and maybe some Rock N Rule if you remember that), and you've got the idea. Four episodes have been released so far (Episode 1, 2, 3 and 4).
