The other 1/2 is that, a lot of my humor is verbal and I knew I would over dialogue (which I DID!)<br /><br />The main problem with that is, I only have a 8.5 x 11 scanner, so that meant heading out somewhere to have it scanned. I used to have a scanner at work which would do it...but I don't have a "work" anymore...still smiling slightly over that. <br /><br />The story board and scripting took wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long....you'd be right in foregoing that. I was thinking that a finished script would take the edge off and I could just draw then...took away TOO much time and energy.<br /><br />Spontaneous stream-of-consciousness cartooning will be the way to go!Unca Jeffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292248615715408243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381342123888645002.post-42674334968381905562012-10-21T14:41:54.103-07:002012-10-21T14:41:54.103-07:00My vision ain't what it used to be so I would ...My vision ain't what it used to be so I would definitely work in the larger 17 X 11 format. I think where I would trim time off the process is by NOT doing any storyboards or 1st-draft writing; I would just start drawing and in that other partition of my brain be 'writing' it as I went. I would trust my instincts for camera-angle etc. in the moment, thus, surgically removing the storyboard process. The concept would drive everything and the ticking clock would drive me ! <br /><br />Look forward to your future thoughts & posts about this experience ;~jRuns.with.Feralshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633149475126315592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381342123888645002.post-48356758158946289882012-10-21T13:51:48.096-07:002012-10-21T13:51:48.096-07:00These were 11x17 which I partitioned down to 11x14...These were 11x17 which I partitioned down to 11x14 for proportion sake. Turns out, that's a little too much, I crashed and burned. (I WILL finish this thing this week though!) <br /><br />It's recommended working at a smaller size, 8.5x11, I just couldn't see me squeezing my shit in that small though! Now I wish I had.<br /><br />Still groggy from my crash...I'll get my thoughts together and be posting more about this on Tuesday. I hope you're able to join in next year, it'd be great rooting each other on.<br /><br />Then again...maybe we oughtta plan out our own!Unca Jeffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292248615715408243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381342123888645002.post-54550191975882252702012-10-21T08:44:43.570-07:002012-10-21T08:44:43.570-07:00Continued on 3rd page following !

Can't wait to read this puppie once you've scanned it !<br /><br />I got thinking about what I was gunna do had I not been working: All about the birth of an Idea, and how one cannot kill it whether it be good or bad.So far, what I've skimmed of yours, it has a wonderful continuity & cohesiveness, even with the obligatory Marxian asides.
