Sample script - Finding Her

The first two pages of my mini-comic, Finding Her, which is going to be a non-canon short story involving Voku and Nyura (and no she is not his sister, but someone just as important to him). Keep in mind that some things may change in editing, at least before I sit down and start drawing the comic. Without further ado, here's the sample:


Finding Her, One-shot – Melanee Wood

PAGE ONE

Panel 1. Establishing shot of a forest that is alongside a mountain. The forest has a mix of primarily deciduous trees with a few coniferous trees sprinkled in. It is near the start of dawn as a small light has appeared in the horizon.

Panel 2. Cut to of a long shot of the inside of the forest where there is the sight of predominately tree trunks, although the tree branches are hanging from above. Along the forest floor, there are dead leaves, ferns, stick, dirt, rock, and small shoots of grass coating it.

Panel 3. Close-up on the forest floor, angled downward.

Panel 4. Same close-up on the forest floor, except a nose and a single paw appears into the panel. The nose is black while part of the animal’s muzzle is black and blue. The paw is also black.

Panel 5. Same close-up as before, but now, more of the animal’s muzzle appears in the frame along with both of its feet, which are all black save for two sky blue rectangular bands close to his paws.


PAGE TWO

Panel 1. In medium-long shot, it is revealed that the creature is a Vaarg, but not just any Vaarg. It is Voku, one of two main protagonists from The Guardians. His head is craned upward and is looking towards his right. He is obviously looking for something, or rather someone.

Panel 2. Voku takes off running in that direction.

Panel 3. Voku then grinds to a halt just short of the opening within a group of trees.

Panel 4. He then takes a step closer to the clearing. He’s being very cautious as though not sure what to expect.

Panel 5. Medium close-up on Voku as his eyes widen with mild surprise.
