MAKING THE PAGE–THE CONCLUSION


And here is Donny's mad escape from TimbreDark Manor will look in it's final version. Compare the comic page to the script excerpt. I think it translates rather nicely, don't you?


SCRIPT EXCERPT:


PAGE ONE: ONE PANEL

PANEL ONE: Ext. Shot: Countryside. Night
CLOSE SHOT: Donny aka The Mangler, a powerfully built, imposing man in his late 20's, dressed in a drab prison uniform runs frantically into the foreground. In mid-ground, the silhouetted figures of a group of orderlies and security guards carrying lanterns, and guns, and struggling to hold onto the leashes of guard dogs follow Donny. In background, lit by the glow of full moon in the night sky above it, the hauntingly medieval structure of the criminal asylum TimbreDark Manor sits on the country side behind it's high brick walls.

NARRATIVE: TimbreDark Manor.

NARRATIVE #2: Asylum for the criminally insane.
