I’m the Head of Development from an Australian animation studio, and we’re interested in looking at RASL to option into an animated feature film. Is it possible to somehow get a reader copy?

cheers

Thanks for keeping reading interesting.

I figured if you come to the Boneville blog, you should see stuff you can’t see anywhere else, so I decided to use a four color scan (which is more like a photograph) and let the blue line work show.

I like the tone this book is taking, he must be trying to shake off the after effect from The Drift

Hey, I think your comment helped me realize what I was really asking was if the non-photo blue pencil will show up in scans of the art.

I was also kind of surprised by the comment you mention about making new film on the Shazam stuff…most of the printers I’ve used in the last 5 years or so don’t make film anymore and go direct-to-plate from digital artwork (as opposed to making film, then making plates from the film). So – I was kind of curious about the steps used to take Jeff’s art from his drawing board to the finished piece.

Anyways, the book looks awesome, just curious about the idiosyncrasies of the process for some reason. Thnx.

But I’ve always been curious further as well, for Shazam you said they “shot from completely new film” for the hardcover and the colours turned out better than ever. At which point I said, what?, I thought the colouring was all done digitally? Where does film become involved in the process and how does that work?

I’m actually pretty curious about the bluelines as well. Do these pages get shot on film then burned to plate or scanned, then burned direct to plate? Kind of a geeky question, but you know…just curious.
