"To All Those Plein Air Painters In Peril"...

Local color for a film I'm storyboarding!
"Polk Salad, Annie,
Gator got your granny!"
( Chomp, chomp! )

"Everybody said it was a shame, 
That 'yo mama wassah working on the chain gang!"

( A wretched, spiteful, straight razor tottin' woman! )
( Tony Joe White )

Good Morning, y'all. Watch out 'fer 'dose gators while you're painting in 'dem swamps!
Second cup of coffee...yesterday's brew!

More Film Storyboard Sketches... The Corrupt Private Investigator!"

"What can I do for you, podnah?"
About a week ago, I posted, on Facebook, a colored location comp featuring some corrupt private investigator. ( He's probably gonna run for something in this state in some upcoming election!) 

Continuity, for me, is hard especially in this kind of time frame, but this guy only had about ten frames worth of time and I managed to keep him looking the same. The cigar and jowls, plus the rolled up shirt sleeves and pulled down tie, help.


In frame" 80.9", the husband inquiring about a felon's record is light gray and fuzzy. We decided this approach was quicker than selecting areas to blur in Photoshop. This was fine with me because I hate the selection tool in Photoshop. We also use this approach to indicate the use of one lens over. another. 

I'm not too good at knowing one lens over another, and how to illustrate it,  either...

Have a great day, y'all, and keep the eraser close by your side... mine's electric!
