Full video of the first writing panel I gave at Eurofurence 16 last week: writers vs artists

Presented by Yours F. Truly at Eurofurence 16 in Magdeburg, Germany in September 2010. In this workshop we discuss the notion of conveying meaning through imagery. The theory of semiotics is briskly breezed through, after which we look at some examples of evocative imagery in art and writing. Finally, we did a little mini Bullwer-Lytton contest, with some thoughtful and/or hilarious results!

Apologies for the darkness in the first half. The camera lost focus in the dark a few times, but really came into its element once the lights came back on. This panel was a ton of fun to do, with a diverse and engaged audience, which included Elfasi, Watts Martin, Lupestripe and a fair few others I'm sure I forgot to name!


 


Edit: Here's the video on Youtube, in chunks:
