This is quite a personal comic strip. It has been a tough 2009 for CWP, but rather than blog about it, I decided to illustrate it. The big question I am asking myself is ‘what do I do next?’
I love those guys. Really. Well, maybe not that much. But, I had to immortalise the folks behind the camera. The ones, who normally, do not get the glory, but who have as much ‘fun’ as anyone else on set. The crew!
Right, El Director is off on holiday and so the comic strip will next be up and running on Monday October 19th! Until then…;)
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!
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!
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
Just a small talk through on how a clip becomes part of a short film. Unfortunately, due to ‘youtube quality’, the colour corrections do not come out too great in this one…
