PART 2: Sample Script Page

Here's a sample page of script along with the finished page so you can compare the process. There's not really a wrong format for a script as long as you are conveying to the artist what you want to see in each panel. When it comes to SINS I don't get very specific. A&A do a great job visualizing each panel.

Page 5
Panel 1
Show a close-up of Lon and Boris.

St. Peter speaks off panel.

ST. PETER (OP): And what do we have here?

Panel 2
Show same close-up of Lon and Boris.

St. Peter continues to speak off panel.

ST. PETER (OP): I am addressing the two gargoyles in the line.

Panel 3
Show almost the same close-up with Lon and Boris looking at each other.

HUGO: I do suppose he is talking to us.

Panel 4
Show same close-up as Lon and Boris look back towards St. Peter.

VICTOR: You think?

Panel 5
A clearly irritated St. Peter stands in the background addressing the gargoyles. A cherub is to his side with arms folded wearing a similar expression.

ST. PETER: And why do I find the minions of hell standing in the line of the recently deceased advocating their entrance into the holly temple? You do realize I find this very sacrilegious and in bad taste even for your master. What purpose has he sent you?

Panel 6
Looks of sincerity on their faces monopolize the gargoyles expression as they plead their case.

VICTOR: Our master has not sent us, St. Peter. We came on our own admission.

HUGO: We are defecting.

NEXT WEEK: I'll introduce you to the rest of the SINS team. Until then…

PEACE OUT!
