The concept of the movie montage is not new, but a recent uptick in science fiction and fantasy films has expanded ideas of the training montage. Sure, Rocky running up those steps to get his stamina up to fight was cool, but not sci-fi/fantasy epic. Now we have an extensive catalog of superheroes learning how to walk up walls or fly or control their potentially world-destroying powers. I am taking a bit of inspiration from both 1980s and modern science fiction and fantasy films in my “design a training montage” endeavor. What you listen to, what you are wearing, and what is driving you are all aspects of the training montage. Potential results include but are not limited to science fiction and fantasy books in both young adult and adult imprints. Scroll down past the quiz to see all the results! And with that, I leave you with the ability to design a training montage of your own. Ready…Set…Go!
Design a Training Montage: Here Are Your Results
The Finished Design
Welcome to the finish line. You have now designed a training montage and received a science fiction or fantasy recommendation. With the endless potential for magic systems and future technology, creative training montages in science fiction and fantasy books are bound to keep coming our way. Oftentimes training is difficult and results do not come right away, but when you look back, you realize how far you’ve come. The training montage just puts the start and finish a bit closer together.
