Re: can i get some advice? Posted By: MACK! In Response To: can i get
some advice? (chris sandford) Hi Chris,
I remember you. I hope you are doing well. Wow, this post sort of took
me by surprise. I remember when I was in high school thinking how great it
would be to be able to go to the Kubert School, and it is flattering that
my name has been mentioned in your class.
It's kind of a strange question for me to approach because I never
begin thinking that I want it to look like me. In fact, I'd probably try
to avoid doing a characarature of what people my consider "my look".
Trying to re-use some of the stuff you scrapped may be a good solution.
I've found myself in that situation often. After I think something may be
finished, I then assess it and look for any weak or boring or unnecasary
parts, and I try to fix or eliminate them. So I have often ripped out the
good parts and done away with the static stuff, and re-pasted them onto
another board. Hopefully in a way that has it's own life and vitality.
The only example that I can think of my working from someone else's
script is my DD story with Bendis. So if you keep with the Ellis script
that might be helpful to look at. But the other thing to consider is that
Bendis wrote it with me in mind.
I did a Grendal story (black/white/red) that Matt Wagner originally
wrote for Jon Muth, and I inherited it when Muth got too busy. So that may
be an example of working from a script that was not written with you in
mind. The question being, how to communicate what is necasary in a way
that best supports and breathes your own life in to the script without
being a slave to the information you need to convey in a way that could
make it stiff or boring.
Hope this helps.
Please give my kindest regards to Joe.
