Concept art update / comic
* We're starting to receive concept art and we're going to get an online image gallery up and running to handle things smoothly. Anyone had any good/bad experiences with Gallery?
* We talking to quite a few concept artists about doing preliminary sketches prior to coming onboard the headbin. Please welcome Baz and Simon who're in first.
* I've been working on my own crude sketches as well to flesh out what I've been thinking of in terms of the overall look and feel and how the story could work in a comic form. I'm not planning on giving up the day job but it's been a helpful exercise. I'm gently prompting by all the prospective producers to clarify how this will look.
I'd like to focus the VFX discussion on the following 18 key panels. At least until we've had a chance to get more concept art in and move onto storyboarding with some of the elements better locked down and better drawn.
My breakdown notes on each panel - exported from Excel so refer to bottom left tags
(read comic zig-zagging down each page)

Ironically the breakdown above (exported from Excel) seems to crash IE. Works fine on Firefox and Safari. Let me know if anyone needs the original XLS file (6Mb).
Posted by: .M. at September 14, 2004 03:42 PMwhy dont you just put a blog for each storyboard frame up that lists multiple entries at a time and supports image uploading. that will amke it easy to annotate and discuss?
Posted by: xian at September 14, 2004 08:10 PMperhaps we could set a a per storyboard frame blog that is easy to see mutliple storyboard thumbnails down/across the screen. then comments brakdowns etc can be easily added to each frame..
Posted by: xian at September 14, 2004 08:12 PMerr we should be able to delete and edit our postings so i can remove accidnetal double blogs like this?
check out the www.proteinos.com site. its got a good front end.
Xian, proteinos looks like it's running Gallery. I've just got someone started on setting this up. Will move stuff asap. This is just to get started. See your email for MT access details.
Any comments put here we'll migrate across to the gallery when its up. Just label them 1 - 18

Updates will be easier to manage once the Gallery system is up
