| Caption: | Tales of the Starlight Drive-in This page was done more like a film screen (long horizontal panels). The premise is that the young driver (gangster) is telling a joke to Jimmy the Whale. I wanted the images to support the dialogue and allow it to be the main visual element. I decided to make the panels just of the mouths focusing our attention on the joke and the response of Jimmy. I chose the amount of panels to coincide with the delivery. I gave Jimmy a fat burning cigar to show Jimmy as the mature elder boss in contrast to the young gun with a toothpick. Moving the cigar input an active element in a stagnant series of panels and also helped express the passing of time. |
