Miguel Martinez-Joffre, an excellent director and colleague of mine, gently reminded me that he also contributed his talents to the original animatic I produced for Rover. I am embarrassed I had to be reminded of this. I am extremely grateful for the work he donated to this project.
He is putting the finishing touches on a very funny film of his own. It’s called “Tickle Me Silly” and I can’t wait until it’s finished. Check out his development blog!
I need a sound designer. Someone who has experience synthesizing sounds. It would also be great if they have an interest in language and the way it works. This person will be helping me craft the unique voice of Rover, as well as the other characters. Please contact me with references and samples of work at mforan@monkeysuit.com.
Did I say I was close to finishing that animatic? I guess I did. Well, I was wrong. So geez Nisa, off my back about it already! Geez!
These two pages pretty much complete the story told in the film. In the comics it keeps going as they move into a swamp and meet Fub. But the film doesn’t go that far.
As an ending, it’s a little too mellow, and I am considering how to rework it into something a little more conclusive. Not sure where to go with it just yet.
I had jury duty this week and hoped to catch up on some Rover stuff while I was waiting around, but it was not to be. I got shuffled around, asked a bunch of vague hypotheticals, then shuffled around some more. It’s hard to get any kind of workflow going with 10 minute breaks. After two days they told me I didn’t need to come back. Overall I am impressed at the Westchester county court’s efficiency. They really didn’t waste too much of our time and were courteous throughout.
Anyway, here are two more pages from the comic.
More Rover comics pages. Enjoy!
More yummy pages from my Rover comic. Scroll down to read from the beginning if you are coming in late.
In our ongoing coverage or the original Rover comic book, here are the next two pages.
I am getting close to finishing a new version of the Rover animatic. I have been making extensive changes throughout to fix and improve upon the original animatic I completed several years ago. I will post this animatic once it is finished in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, I am going to start posting pages from the original comic book. These were completed back in 1997 and published in 1998 in the first volume of the Monkeysuit anthologies. It was later reprinted as a stand alone Rover comic book. Both are out of print, but I’ll be posting pages from the story over the next couple weeks. Here are the first two pages. Enjoy!
