THE SIMPSONS NEWS

Monday morning of this week I managed to finish my work on the Halloween show. Turns out, I had all of this week to work on it if I didn’t get it all finished. I wish I would have known that to begin with. It would have helped me relax me while I finished my work.

Turns out that there isn’t any revision work to do. Perhaps the holidays got in the way or the show we were going to revise didn’t have as much to do. In any case, I helping out on a show right now, doing story reel work. My section isn’t too difficult and the storyboard artist that boarded the Act drew very clean so there isn’t too much I have to do with my scenes.

I’m glad for the light work load. It will help me recover for my next show.

GHETTOMATION

It’s been a while since I’ve put a Jim Lujan cartoon on here.  Well, Jim has come out with a new cartoon though.  It’s called PRINCE OF POMONA, check it out:

ART

Wow, is action complicated. I worked this week on trying to finish up the action in page 5 of my script this week but I’m still not done:

I can tell you what the scribbles above represent. The female Sorceress putting blood on an ape heart and throwing it at Rob as he tries to head for an exit. The heart land in front of Rob and turns into a Silver Winged Apes with razor claws that slashes him and then back hands him away.  Just as he jumps over to Rob to finish him off, the Raven shows up and attacks the Ape.

Much easier to write than to draw.  I really need to keep track of where everyone is, what the environment looks like and where the best place to put the camera is so that everything is clear.  I still have to draw another ape attack and the appearance of the human faced Viper.

I can’t wait to get through with this part. Mostly because, once I start roughing out the shot in the actual Storyboard program, it will feel far more like the film is getting finished than this stage.
