THE SIMPSONS NEWS

This week I’m working on the Halloween episode for this year.  I’m a week late since I should have started it last week.  I managed to turn in my Couch Gag Friday morning of last week.  I didn’t think it would take that long.

The assignment I was given is pretty involved.  So far it’s taken me two day to rough out my first section.  I hope it won’t take as long when I do the second part of my assignment.  I hope we get, at least, the two weeks this episode needs us for.

In March 2010, I wrote about a show I really enjoy. Namely, MACROSS FRONTIER.  I’ve been watching it again.  Mostly as I board my film.  It helps me to have something I’ve already seen playing in the background as I board.  That way, if I get tired, I can look up and see something interesting, and perhaps, find inspiration for shots or something.  Since it’s not available for purchase in the U.S. I’ve been watching it online through a fan subtitled version.  I’d thought I’d share it, since I enjoy the show so much.

Here’s episode 1. Enjoy:

I managed to  finish two pages of thumbnails this week.  I hope I can do that more often.  I’ll be done sooner that way.  So far, I’ve had a lot of talking head shots.  It’s been getting more and more difficult to come up with interesting shots.  I’m not opposed to reusing shots (which I have done) but I still needed to come up with new shots, just to add visual interest:

There’s a tad bit more talking heads, on the next page, but by the end of the page, the action part will begin.  I think that’s when the thumbnailing will start REALLY getting difficult.
