Mo' Movie, Mo' Pics

Yo. Filming rolls on, even without a complete cast. Still looking for a few characters, but nothing that will stop production (yet). Had a few auditions this weekend, thank you to everyone that came in. Definitely going use a few people (you know who you are.) New photos from the last few weeks are up. The shoots have gone really well. The cast has been great and gracious. Still hoping to wrap principle photography by mid June. Keeping the fingers crossed.

Returning to an empty office.


Our hero putting in another late night.


Ooooooh, the love.


Another case where the actors have better knowledge of the script than the director.


Someone was gonna lose it at some point.

Did I neglect to mention I was making a movie.

"That is correct, sir!" Comic Fiction is in production on it's first feature length live action movie, "Movie Logic 101." It's got action, adventure, excitement, laughs, and cries. Well, considering it's supposed to be a comedy, maybe not too much crying. We will be in production on the film for the next few months and I'll try to keep up with the news and happenings on the set while we're shooting. The flick was written and is being directed by me (Myron A. Stanley, if you couldn't remember whose blog this is). It's a comedic look at careers, relationships, and the choices we make...

Really, that's what it's about.

Oh yeah... I almost forgot. And there is something in there about hot vampire chicks, but no one will be interested in that aspect of the film.

Here are some production shots taken on the set and of course there's a website for the flick at http://www.movielogic101.com.

Been Too Long

Wow! Been way too long since this has been updated. Got alot to update too. Let's start with episode two of Paper Sack Brown.



This isn't the originally intended second episode, had to do a retake of the voice work on that, that one will end up being episode four. Stay tuned for that.

The Comic Fiction website has been redesigned (again). This one should stick around for at least a few months.

New artwork on the way.

And some big news.

Redesign In "BLUE," 3



So, the new design is done. From its initial sketches, to its first design, to the current. Now, I have to animate the thing, or at least see how it translates. So I threw together a cape and hair move, with some stuff happening around him. Please do excuse the video garbage that pops up.

Redesign In "BLUE" Continued...

From his first design concepts, Bartz the Blue had a cape. He wasn't designed to be without it. Another reason a redesign was necessary, I wanted his outfit to work with or without his cape and I didn't feel this design did.



The new design with more detailed colors sans cape...



I wasn't getting rid of the cape, I just needed a stronger option of the character without it. The new design with more detailed colors with cape...

Redesign In "BLUE"

In the midst of everything else that's going on, I am in the middle of redesigning some of the characters in "Bue Dragon Blues." Not that I don't like their current designs, I just think some of them could be pushed a little more. Let's start with the main character Bartz the Blue.



First off, his design needed a little more to it. It had nice elements but that felt flat to me over time. I also felt there needed to be more consistency in his outfict overall. I added a knee pad and made a new belt buckle similar in design. Here are 2 of the more finished looks of this.





I was fine with the additions, but I also wanted the character to look younger and the design to be pushed a little more to a "cartoony" feel. This was more final.



This image was cleaned up and colors were added to bring you this...

Been Awhile

Been in the basement so to speak, getting ready to unload a bunch of stuff. First I'm gonna drop off some scribbles and sketches I did a few months back.
