Productions a Go!

Okay guys. Let's start actually making this thing. Al, we need to figure out a new production schedule.

Live-action Film Reference

Here's is some Live-Action Film Reference of me for the film. This was before the story change so I will have to do it again. I was going to put it up here, but I am a little bit to embarrassed. Oh, and guys, please don't put this on YouTube.

New Boards

Here are the new boards that have been added to the film. I will explain. This first board is just a slight change in the dialogue for Susie's introduction.
This is the biggest change. My brother Lewis and I came up with this Jeff Goldblum Esq. rant for the Professor. It highlights the trophies, showing his intelligence, and hopefully, builds up suspense and surprise.

This is a scene added where the light falls on his head, making him look even more foolish when he states "Don't worry, I'm Competent!" Thanks James.

Moving Forward

Well I re-boarded the opening and the group liked it so we are moving forward with production. Ultimately it was my decision and I feel that the film deserves a professional voice cast, who quite frankly can do an excellent Job in my opinion. I have contacted all of the voice artists, informing them of my decision. Production Ho!

Halt to Production.

Well, we were full steaming off a head into production, when yesterday a huge brick wall was suddenly constructed. Kieran had a look at the film. Good news is he loved the premise. Bad news, he thinks the beginning needs to be reworked for an even bigger punch line. I'm back to the storyboards again.

Here's a video from a Royal Institution Christmas Lecture. Just to give me some inspiration.





This is a good clip because their is a live cock up but he keeps his composure. My Brother Lewis helped me come up with this great Jeff Goldblum esq speech for the Professor too.

Cartoon Physics

Just for fun!

Cartoon physics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Cartoon logic)

Cartoon physics is a joking reference to the fact that animation allows regular laws of physics to be ignored in humorous ways for dramatic effects. For example, when a cartoon character runs off a cliff, gravity has no effect until the character notices and reacts.[1]
In words attributed to Art Babbitt, an animator with the Walt Disney Studios: "Animation follows the laws of physics — unless it is funnier otherwise."
The phrase also reflects the fact that many of the most famous American animated films, particularly those from Warner Bros. and MGM studios, unconsciously developed a relatively consistent set of such "laws" that have become regularly applied in comic animation.

Specific reference to cartoon physics extends back at least to June of 1980, when an article "O'Donnell's Laws of Cartoon Motion"[2] appeared in Esquire. A version printed in 1994 by the IEEE in a journal for engineers helped spread the word among the technical crowd, which has expanded and refined the idea. Dozens of websites exist outlining these laws.
O'Donnell's examples includes:
Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation.
Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. (Also called the silhouette of passage.)
Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel entrances; others cannot. (Corollary: Portable holes work.)

See you Monday

See you Monday guys. We have got to decide a voice. That's the first thing to do.
