The CWP Comic - Kung Fu Jay! (Part 2)

Part 2 of Kung Fu Jay. I loved shooting this particular webisode with Ari and Kuldip, as it was a complete laugh to do. I also managed to squeeze out two shorts from one shoot. I am particularly proud of this webisode, and it stands as one of my favourite CWP moments. Why? Well, all the webisodes were scripted from the feature length script. If there was a point in the script I was not sure about, I would write a sketch to test it out. There is a scene in the CWP script which requires a 1930's silent film to be slotted in. And the concept works beautifully, as you can see below

The first part of Kung Fu Jay in comic book form. This particular webisode had an interesting inception. First of all, it gives an introduction to the mechanics of Jay's comic book imagination.

Secondly, this was based on a short film known as 'Kung Fu Matt'. Back in the days of my very early film making, when I was larking about with my friends and a camera, I got four of my mates to muck about in a back garden while I shot and edited their antics into 'Kung Fu Matt'. Word for word, action for action, even down to the sound fx, it is almost identical to the CWP version. But there are some things that should just never see the light of day. 'Kung Fu Matt' is one of them, not for general release but for my hard drive only.

For me, this was the best comic I have done so far, but in terms of the webisode that it is based on, it is probably my least favourite outing of Jay and Kay. I love the style of this comic, how I have managed to get the eye contact and the subtle looks between the two characters. For me, in a comic book way, the aesthetics come out great. Read on my pretties!



And so yes, I get to eh legendary 'Kung Fu Jay' next week. Stick around, as there is quite a story behind that particular 'comic'! (El D.)

I will admit that as a comic, this one is a little bit trippy. I really wanted to explore the stylisation of the characters and so really had a play around with the strip itself. So please, bear with me for this one. Anyhow, you can catch the original webisode from where this comic descends from by clicking here!



After next week, I will start to drift away from the webisodes. While they will be the starting point for the adventures of Jay and Kay, I will no longer stick religiously to the order of their braodcast, and will have a little 'fun' with the world of CWP!

Enjoy! (cmd)

Our first adventure at The Bus Stop was a lot of fun to film, but as with any film set had its ups and downs. So I, El Director, has decided to go behind the scenes of this particular set, and show you the viewer and the fan, a little bit of the magic behind that very first outing for Jay and Kay in comic book form! Enjoy!
