Yeah same here thanks..

As for the length of the whole story, it stands at 26 chapters so far. To give you an indication of chapter length, this current one is around18-20 pages. Despite it all being planned out and written etc, it only really comes to light in the storyboarding stage, which I do every Saturday morning religiously for an hour, sometimes thumbnail sketches to get a feel for shots, or finalising them in more detail in a larger format in a storyboard book. I can then make proper notes on light setups, atmosphereic details, what needs to be 3d or a 2d element and more importantly the speech bubble layout, and the text itself if needed.

Sorry for the rant, I like to explain the process a bit as its not the usual 3d thing ie; animation etc

Cheers for now
