And so we're off. On one side we have the incumbent Labour Party who are desperate to cling onto power despite the fact that they are truly awful. And on the other hand we have the Conservatives who are desperate to assume their natural position as Lord and Masters of the Universe. Great. Oh, and then there are the Lib Dems who have not got a hope in hell. This is choice, this is the mother of all democracies! This is Great Britain!

Oh, how I wish for a Hung Parliament. Then something productive might actually happen...

Cash for YOUR Chav Gold!

noreply@blogger.com (Caution Wet Paint) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:25:00 +0000

Pawn shops are nothing new. As old as humanity itself, there has always been a need to trade personal valuables for short/long term cash. What is new in the UK is the rise in 'Cash for Gold' merchants. These businesses advertise on satellite TV during daytime soap operas claiming to solve all your money worries (what's new?) by giving you cash for your gold.

Taxes...

Apologies for the lack of comic strip this week, but Her Majesty's Customs and Revenue are the priority for now!

To be honest, the form is not so bad. It is just the natural instinct, the fear of the taxman that gets to me. Plus the guys at the tax office are bloody patient. I'm ringing them every five minutes about this number or that error message. I suppose I am not the only one!

Storyboarding...

noreply@blogger.com (Caution Wet Paint) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:24:00 +0000

Ah, the storyboards. Sometimes I draw them (stick men, at best) but often I will photograph the actors/actresses in a dress rehearsal. It is surprising how close to reality these boards are. They are also ludicrously fun sessions when you can really muck about during rehearsals and flesh out the story itself.

Most of the storyboards I did for Save the World were from the fight scene between Jay & Kay and the milk bottles. This was practical. To put it simply, this was going to be the difficult scene, an action scene, and so the planning needed to be good. Also mixing animation and live action into the same scene was going to be tough and I needed to know exactly where the actors were going to be before I shot the animation sequences.

The only was way to do this was during a photographic storyboard so I knew where the actors were going to be in relation of the rest of the set.

Enjoy, the logistical nightmare that is the shooing of 'Caution Wet Paint!'

This is quite a personal comic strip. It has been a tough 2009 for CWP, but rather than blog about it, I decided to illustrate it. The big question I am asking myself is 'what do I do next?'

And to be honest, I do not know...

Agent Special Delivery

noreply@blogger.com (Caution Wet Paint) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:03:00 +0000

Apologies for being a day late with this one, but Monday was rushing around on Planet Earth with very little to show for it! Anyhow, we see Jay unleash his comic book fantasies by portraying his flatmate Kay as 'Agent Special Delivery'!

This particular comic has a murky beginning. This is partially based on a webisode and partially based on Jay himself. It's easier for you to watch the webisode than for me to prattle on about it, but needless to say, it establishes in the cannon the 'Dumb and Dumber' aspect of Jay and Kay's relationship. And yes, Jay is most definitely the 'dumber'...

So enjoy the almost darker side of CWP with 'Kay the Cool'. Not sure how I will spin this one out, but something will come into my mind...

From Poster Boys

Posters like all aspects of the post production stage, are essential to the publicity of a film. They are there to make a visual impact of the film to the casual observer, and so have to grab the attention of the average audience member who has seen every special effect known to humanity.

From Poster Boys

I'm on a limited budget, so spectacular graphical representations of 'Caution Wet Paint' are simply out of the budget. Otherwise I would be in that holiday home in Columbia by now...

From Poster Boys

So I have decided to stick with the comic book theme of 'Caution Wet Paint' in order to design the perfect poster for 'Jay and Kay Save the World'. Plus it is a short film that contains loads of animated clips, so it suits the subject matter of the short very well. And so, here it is, the final design for the poster to 'Jay and Kay Save the World!'

From Poster Boys

So, the difference between this and the first pic? The stills within the poster have been stylised as a coloured drawing rather than using plain pics lifted from the film. The speech bubbles have a deper bacground, the 'credits list' at the bottom of the poster have a background to make them stand out and finally there is a lovely gold background, to contrast with the main images.

Knowing me however, this is probably not the last poster design coming your way...

This is a bit surreal. All right, maybe it is very surreal, but there is a destination to the 'Super Sushi Club'. Really, I have plan with this. If it does not work out, I can always call it apocryphal and therefore discontinue it from the CWP cannon.

The Super Sushi Club!

The fact that I am creating a whole backstory to CWP and a whole world through the comic books is a fascinating one. Plus there is the fascinating possibilities open through expanding the Super Sushi...

I love those guys. Really. Well, maybe not that much. But, I had to immortalise the folks behind the camera. The ones, who normally, do not get the glory, but who have as much 'fun' as anyone else on set. The crew!

Right, El Director is off on holiday and so the comic strip will next be up and running on Monday October 19th! Until then...;)
