The Collectibles Comic Book

We've begun work on the assets for The Collectibles season 1.5 comic book.  Originally we were thinking about shooting actors in costume in front of the green screen and then digitally filtering to get our graphical look*, but then we decided it would be more effective in the long run to generate the characters in 3D.  We can then pose them in any hazardous situations we require, and post-process for a graphical look.

Here's a little sneaky at the cover...

And some peeks at the character models in progress...

More Chop Socky Boom!

Episode 3 of Chop Socky Boom is up!  This one is particularly funny for anyone who has ever worked on an indie film set.  And yours truly gets quite a bit of screen time as surly DP Guy.  Also watch for Landon Salyer, Conor Hogan and the Gore Sisters as on-set personnel.  Quite a few Collectibles peeps were on the Chop Socky.  And do you recognize Eric Stevens from Ordinary Angels?  Check it!

Episode 10: In Case of Emergency, Press Here

And scene.  Be sure to watch through the end of the credits.  Season one of The Collectibles is done.  Next up, the season 1.5 comic book, Breakout!, a screening of the entire season at San Diego Comic Con, the commercial DVD production, and scheduling/budgeting for season two: Divide & Conquer.
