I consider my sunday’s on this blog to be devoted to whatever I feel like puking onto the page. Most of the time it’ll probably be something goofy and fun, as we explore our world and the joy of writing. But, today, I wanted to give you a look at the Teaser script for Panda Girls. When we first started stoking the fire for this project, we decided that the first thing anybody would see, was a moment of action and fun. Basically we wanted to try and encapsulate the overall feeling of the project into a few pages, which would be the first comic.
For those of you who didn’t know, PG will be in comic form in its first iteration. The reason behind that is simple economics: we can make a comic without spending any money. Once we have the money, we get the power and then we get the women…
You get what I mean. Once everybody knows it, and is onboard, we can move into the film production phase. The advantage of this is that the whole comic process plays into the film production anyways;
storyboards, concept designs, sketches, these are all things that have to happen for the film anyway, so now you get them before we even get into pre-production, and you get a chance to influence it all.
Have a read, but also keep in mind that this isn’t set in stone. Frankly, none of our scripts are ever set in stone, nor should they be. Anybody who tells you they’ve written the final draft of their screenplay/book/restaurant menu, is either kidding themselves or doesn’t plan to BE the writer on-board the project during production. There’s rewrites people…there’s ALWAYS rewrites.
