Details…. not yet!
January 7, 2010
For the last five weeks, I have been working on a movie called “FASTER” for director, George Tillman.
I’ve been working lots of hours, as I want and need to get everything just right.
As this is an action film, George is very exact and detailed with each and every shot. He wants the angle to be right, the possible lens, as well as unique ways to see the character.
I’ve never had the chance to draw Dwayne Johnson in a film before, so I have gotten my money’s worth, as he is the star and is in all the scenes I have drawn.
The key is to not to do heavy a first pass when you show it to the director of a project. Show just enough so they can see what’s going on, but never get bogged down in detail.
You might not get the feel right. Shots get cut and changed. You can have a great shot, but it may need to be tighter or wider. If you put all your energy into beautiful drawings at first, and then you have to do a number of passes, you’ll burn yourself out.
Get feedback from the director, make changes, then, you can add detail if needed. Also, if you don’t know the director well, try to find out the level of detail or finish they need. If you have a lot to do in terms of frames, you’ll have to economize.
