module 4 part 2

So, time for part 2 of the animantics project. I decided to be a complete nerd and take my found images from a web comic, and my audio from a Joss Wheadon film called Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.The Film first: Dr. Horrible is a sort of internet phenomenon, created during the writers strike in not too distant memory. It is a musical told from the point of view of a super villain, Dr. Horrible, and how he wants to beat his nemesis, Captain Hammer, winning the affections of his love interest, Penny, and gain entrance to the evil league of evil, led by the infamous bad horse. The song, brand new day, is when horrible becomes try pissed, at the "good guy" captain hammer, and decides to sing about it. I don;t really want to spoil such a good movie, but you should watch it if you get a chance, especially since it;s only 45 minutes long.

Dominic Degan, Oracle For Hire, is a web comic that has been running since 2002, and whose update schedule has never dipped below 4 updates a week, and for the bulk of it;s existence, updated 5 or 6 times a week. It has a whole host of characters, with the main protagonist Dominic, being a seer, who has lots of abilities dealing with seeing the past, future, and present. His "rouge's gallery", if it can be called that, includes baddies like his brother, the necromancer, TIM (fan named), The Inferno Mancer, who channels the power of the lord of hell, and arguably his arch nemesis, Clesto Morgan, the one-time champion of Chaos and Darkness during the storm of souls. For the purpose of this animatic, I decided to switch perspectives a bit, making Celesto our Dr. Horrible stand in, Luna-Domonic's love interest, as well as an extremely competent elemental caster- penny, and Dominic himself as Captain Hammer.

Now, this didn't transfer over perfectly. I realized when watching the finished project that my timing is off in 2 or 3 places, but windows movie maker seems to be unable to let me fix the problem. Also, I didn't have a comic ready for Celesto and Dominic for ever occasion, so I improvised a little, bringing back TIM for a few shots, and making him our pseudo bad horse. If you have allot of free time, and haven't read DD, I also highly recommend picking it up. With a few thousand strips, though, it may take you a while to finish reading. http://www.dominic-deegan.com/
