“Scary Monster Vs Lucky Frog” Test Clip

Here ya go — your first glimpse of the next Goofy Graffix short, Scary Monster vs Lucky Frog:

This clip is from the pencil sketches I finshed last weekend. Don’tcha just love my cute fluffy little clouds? The shot of the monster walking down the sidewalk towards the house is missing the clouds floating overhead — those will be added at the coloring stage since I will need to do it for every single frame and I haven’t decided what color the cloud outlines will be. You’ll also notice the monster is walking through the house walls. Obviously, he won’t do that in the final cut, unless he’s a ghost. And no, there’s no audio in this section, so that’s why you’re not hearing anything.

I have four scenes inked now. Between scenes 3 and 4, there were 84 separate poses/layer elements to ink. That’s only about ten less than the entire How Space Wars Begin short. The movie is about 70- to 80-percent edited — minus titles and credits, it’s already sitting at around 2:15, which is as long as Revenge of the Ladybugs. That means when it’s finished, it’ll be the second-longest Goofy Graffix short, after Break Time. In other words, a June release date is not out of line. I’m a lot less grumpy with myself now…
