Red Skull Kommandos

So, I've restarted work on Kommando and by that, I mean I've thrown out all the old stuff and am starting again with a different premise.
This time it's about the Red Skull Kommandos famous on Armageddon for their sneakiness and smearing the hot blood of their scalped foes on their own head :).

I'm taking a new approach to animation than I havn't in previous years. I'm starting to take this whole thing a lot more seriously as projects before would be incomplete, unsatisfactory or just not good enough and everytime I did it, I looked at the months of work and just felt bad about it.
And so this time I'm doing things properally, I'm writing a screenplay that will detail everything in a good cohesive manner.
Shortly after finishing the screenplay I'll move onto story-boarding, detailing things down in a rough but consisive way, to get an idea of how I want the scenes to look.

Following this I will gather voice-actors and give them the lines to record and find a composer to make a decent war-like soundtrack.
I will than move onto an animatic, which is kind of rough drawings moving in a very basic motion just to show what is happening, so I can see how it all will look composed together, I will add the recorded dialouge to it as well.

I expect all of that to take me 2 months give or take and only after all that is done will I even attempt to animate anything! Because (and we've all been there) I'm sick and tired of half completed projects badly thought out animations. Especially when I've got Space Hulk to compare myself to eh ;p

I wasn't going to do this, but I felt the urge to let some artistic creativity flow after several days of writing.
And so, I present to you...Red Skull Kommandos title!



Thanks for reading this guys, Don and myself do very much appriecate your time.

  3. NO, flashgitz produces 2 series, Kommandos and Space Hulk

    Space Hulk is just Don's specific project, and Kommandos is Tom's.
