It almost feels as though something else belongs under mental rather than partnership. A really cool effect. Twilightzoneish lol

yeah I know what you mean. It doesn't exactly gel too well with me either but I just had to get something down super quick as I'm seriously over schedule with everything else.
Cheers for the comments.

No I think Ryan was making the point that its a GOOD thing. As if someone had scratched out a word and changed it to "Partnership"
Very eerie. Cool. "Things aren't quite what they seem..." You know?
Dig the poster, man. Really great composition there.
Though... is that Times New Roman on the bottom?? :huh:

Good eye, I think it might be - but it looks so good! Surely this is one of those "know the rules so you can break them" cases.

Ah I see! I really am a type face newbie and really am not sure about anything until someone goes "Yeah looks alright!"
I'm pretty sure it's not Times New Roman, I'll find out for you eagle-eye'ers when I get home from work.
Also will have storyboard samples uploaded tonight, along with location photography later on this week.
stay tuned!

Welcome to the fest!
Cheers Hofer.
Uploaded a couple of sample boards to the front page. Excuse my ever morphing characters faces, I can't draw worth a shi*.
Location pics will be up soon.

Ha, cheers but they seriously degrade as I grow tired of drawing these bloody things.

UPDATE
- Storyboards done, Animatic cut for the composer, shooting schedule in the works, script supervisor spot filled. Planning for the weekend of 27th -28th to shoot. Props, costumes, location scouting and a couple of days rehearsals leading up to the shoot.
Finding an office with a long big corridor and non-carpeted floors is proving annoying.

The poster is great, and the storyboards too!
Good luck getting the location. Maybe a school hallway would work?
Looking forward to it.

Cheers fella,
Gonna try and line up a few colleges to look at. Unfortunately I'm trying to find a location around central London as that's where all my crew are based and it's hard to find a standard school building that isn't owned by some Conglomomart Art College with six international campus's and multi-tiered administration to get through.
