TT crew interviews: Brianne Drouhard; Ben Jones on TT & "Brave & Bold" (and: J's new series is out!) Posted by Butch on September 1, 2008 @ 4:26 pm EST - Link |

Sorry for such a late update, everyone. By now you might've heard the news that: (A) sadly, the TT "Judas Contract" animated DTV movie is officially off ...and (B) Slade (woo!) has officially joined the DC vs Mortal Kombat game. With that out of the way, here's news you might've missed.  Last Wednesday, TTG writer J. Torres' new comic series "Family Dynamic" hit stores with its first issue (with covers by TTG artist Sean "Cheeks" Galloway). The reviews are already in, and they are glowing. Here are a few noted from J's blog:
- Comic Book Resources - Comic Pants (scroll down a bit) - Dynamic Forces "Family Dynamic" is not just a new direction for J, but also ground that DC Comics rarely treads, if ever. The series and its universe are entirely conceived by J and his crew, as opposed to being set in mainstream DC continuity. However, for some reason (likely because it's an entirely new thing not set in the DCU), initial store pre-orders have been low. Because of this, DC has abruptly cut the mini-series from its planned six-issue run down to three (can they even do that? guess so...). In light of this, even though "Family Dynamic" isn't necessarily Titans-related, we're urging fans to pick issue #1 up and spread the word if you like what you see. Asking your local comic shop to order its other 2 issues would also greatly help. Thanks for your support, not just for J. Torres, but for DC to realize the potential of fresh creator concepts beyond retreading the same mainstream DC Universe.  Titans character designer Brianne Drouhard mentioned on her blog about an interview she did a couple weeks ago with Fulle Circle Productions. The interview focuses on, to name a few things, her various work experiences as an artist, including how she went on to join the Teen Titans production crew. She also gives alot of insight on her art education background, as well as great advice for artists trying to break into that big scary media arts industry. Oh yeah, and she talks a bit about working on Titans too:
Brianne: "They would go over designs with me, and give me notes. It was a lot of fun there, I have a photo somewhere of a giant wall of random Post-It drawings we all did one night. Being there was an experience I feel very lucky and fortunate to have. Everyone was really excited to be working on the show, the artists and writers worked well together, and the directors put a lot of heart into it. I was very spoiled having that be my first full time job drawing." Click here for the full interview (it's a nice big one), with several of Brianne's awesome drawings as an added bonus.  Awhile ago, TT director/storyboarder Ben Jones was interviewed by Big Shiny Robot about his work on the upcoming "Batman: Brave and the Bold" animated series, working on Teen Titans, animation production, and much more:
Ben: "I also remember Mad Mod as the episode where I set my own personal record for overnighters - I boarded most of the chase sequence in one 53 hour work session. A lot of fans ask what drugs we were abusing for that show, and the answer, for me at least, is nothing more than good old fashioned sleep deprivation. Cheap and legal! When we finally finished boarding it (and got some sleep), we started worrying about what we were going to get back from overseas - we didn’t know if the Moiré patterns would read on television, or if Dongwoo would get the optical illusions right, or if the story still made any sense to anyone but us. But they did a stellar job on it. I haven’t seen as perfect a translation from board to finished show as Mad Mod, before or since." Click here for the full interview (another big one), which includes some sweet "Brave & the Bold" production artwork. Big Shiny Robot also provided some of Ben's episode storyboard work for the Teen Titans series, which are of course quite cool. Click here to check em out! How awesome is roadrunner Control Freak, and See-More flying by the nerves of his eyeball? |
