QC - The Movie
HiFranc:
That's only 2 strips and has a run-time of approx 1min 25 secs. That is approx 42 seconds per strip. If he was arguing that you could do 1 to 658 without editing (which is what he seemed to be saying to me) then:
658x40 secs=26320 seconds which translates as over 7 hours!
I was going to do 658 x 45 secs to give an upper limit but the lower estimate still makes the point considering that Hollywood doesn't really want films over 2.75 hours. Even if you do it to 510 you will have to edit (or split it into more than 1 movie).
Carl-E:
Or cut a lot of the minor side stories and AnthroPC hijinks.
Dliessmgg:
Or cut everything but the AnthroPC hijinks.
jwhouk:
The transitions between strips could be done easier. Those first couple of strips were relatively easy to put together as a short clip.
Obviously, some of the culture refs from 2003-04 don't translate well six years down the pike...
HiFranc:
I would cut out most the AnthroPC's high-jinks, most of the music talk (leave a little in to point to the character) most of the subplots (e.g. write Sara[1] almost completely out).
To tell the truth I am tempted to go through the comic, edit it down and try and write a screenplay but I need to do a lot of job hunting and I already have a writing project.
{edited for grammar}
[1] I would have Faye tell Sara that she was staying at Marten's but cut away before we see Sara's reaction.
