Storyboarding...
Ah, the storyboards. Sometimes I draw them (stick men, at best) but often I will photograph the actors/actresses in a dress rehearsal. It is surprising how close to reality these boards are. They are also ludicrously fun sessions when you can really muck about during rehearsals and flesh out the story itself.
(Click to enlarge)
Most of the storyboards I did for Save the World were from the fight scene between Jay & Kay and the milk bottles. This was practical. To put it simply, this was going to be the difficult scene, an action scene, and so the planning needed to be good. Also mixing animation and live action into the same scene was going to be tough and I needed to know exactly where the actors were going to be before I shot the animation sequences.
The only was way to do this was during a photographic storyboard so I knew where the actors were going to be in relation of the rest of the set.
Enjoy, the logistical nightmare that is the shooing of 'Caution Wet Paint!'

Poster Boys
(Click to enlarge)
Posters like all aspects of the post production stage, are essential to the publicity of a film. They are there to make a visual impact of the film to the casual observer, and so have to grab the attention of the average audience member who has seen every special effect known to humanity.
I'm on a limited budget, so spectacular graphical representations of 'Caution Wet Paint' are simply out of the budget. Otherwise I would be in that holiday home in Columbia by now...
So I have decided to stick with the comic book theme of 'Caution Wet Paint' in order to design the perfect poster for 'Jay and Kay Save the World'. Plus it is a short film that contains loads of animated clips, so it suits the subject matter of the short very well. And so, here it is, the final design for the poster to 'Jay and Kay Save the World!'
So, the difference between this and the first pic? The stills within the poster have been stylised as a coloured drawing rather than using plain pics lifted from the film. The speech bubbles have a deper bacground, the 'credits list' at the bottom of the poster have a background to make them stand out and finally there is a lovely gold background, to contrast with the main images.
Knowing me however, this is probably not the last poster design coming your way...

The Director's Chair
A little look at film making from the Director's Point of View.

You see what happens in front of the lens, but there is a whole process that goes on behind the lens to make the magic come to life! Enjoy!

Milk! From Outer Space!
(Click to enlarge)
I really liked doing this, both as a short film and as a comic strip.
Originally, Nick came to me and asked me to shoot Jay and Kay in the back garden, just chatting, and most importantly, having the milk bottle 'disappear. He then told me to 'trust him'. So I did. A few weeks later, he brought me the animation sequence and so was born the two alter egos of Silvertop and Goldtop.
The reason why I have enjoyed this webisode so much is that the story is continued in the latest incarnation of Caution Wet paint, Jay and Kay Save the World! Yep, give me a chance, and I will string a story out far beyond the stars...into the realms of madness!

Quantitative Easing
(Click to enlarge)
This strip is a one off, for now. And I will see how this one is received, but I was feeling a little bit political, and so without further ado, I present Jay and Kay's take on the current state of the UK economy and farce that is known as Quantitative Easing. Enjoy!

The CWP Comic - Kung Fu Jay! (Part 2)
(Click to enlarge)
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 CWP Comic - Kung Fu Jay! (Part 1)
(Click to enlarge)
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.

Issue 6 - 'Comics'
Click to enlarge)
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.)
