<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Afternoon all,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This months script is based on something I've been working on listed as <a href="http://davidjeffcoate.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/quarterly-report-my-year-so-far.html" target="_blank">Operation Alaskan Phill</a> over on my blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The origin came from watching news reports of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Sandy" target="_blank">Hurricane Sandy</a> on the BBC and there was a cycle of footage of people taking a selfie with the raging ocean behind them, the people doing Gangnam Style dance, and in amongst it was a really brief shot of an old man just sitting on a bench looking out at the storm.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I thought to myself "That old guy knows something". For the next hour that image and thought percolated in my head and by the end it had evolved into this image of a hit man assassinating the storm and from there it was a short leap to imagine the storm was caused by a god.</span><br />

<br />
I've spent the last two days going over everything people have said they'd like to practice drawing and started to fashion everything in to stories for the next few months scripts. As can be seen in this helpful yet confusing diagram:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikh5bTXyX6KQYqJx7NPDlDQIiEit4QGo6ycIFHVo_YLPlW_HKq2qFIkrNSa6a8zm2DhAdq645Yf1QG0Ap_duTXJTVJL2XMboVPKy0BSmOJ5cxWOm1WrxGNCyXv9xiV-EZSdxaCJR9vMrAL/s1600/Short+Notice+Diagram.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikh5bTXyX6KQYqJx7NPDlDQIiEit4QGo6ycIFHVo_YLPlW_HKq2qFIkrNSa6a8zm2DhAdq645Yf1QG0Ap_duTXJTVJL2XMboVPKy0BSmOJ5cxWOm1WrxGNCyXv9xiV-EZSdxaCJR9vMrAL/s1600/Short+Notice+Diagram.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So all of this was taken and blended with some ideas I've been playing with and I can now reveal to you the working titles for the Scripts up until August PLUS a brief insight into what September holds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I should say now that this isn't set in stone and may swap issues around. If there's things you want to practice drawing that aren't on my awesome diagram let me know at shortnotice.comics@gmail.com and if I can't work them into one of the stories above I'll work them into the stories for October, November or December.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thanks for all the feedback so far it is greatly appreciated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Stay awesome (",)</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This script came out of an email asking for a story that required different drawing styles. The styles referenced should be seen as suggestions and feel free to substitute any of them for another style.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not sure I did this one as well as I could have. I was trying to play with the use of captions in conjunction panels without any dialogue. Overall I think it feels like a summarised version of a slightly longer story. I may give it another pass and upload the updated version at a later date.</span><br />

<p>Another thought I've had rattling around my brain pan is for Short Notice to have a sort of in house artist. Someone who will draw each months script but add annotations regarding how they interpreted and approached certain panels on each page.</p>
<p>If you're a budding comic artist would you find this useful? Again I'd really appreciate all and any feedback, so leave a comment or email me at shortnotice.comics@gmail.com.</p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey there, Dai Hards!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been thinking about ways to develop Short Notice and really make it useful to artists. I'm still brainstorming ideas but an obvious way I thought of was to have a competition. Not sure on the specifics but as the prize I was thinking a $100 gift certificate to <a href="http://thinkgeek.com/">ThinkGeek.com</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Any alternative suggestions on prizes? Is there anything else you would like to see from Short Notice? Whether it be in the scripts, or events and so forth.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Evening all, I hope you’ve found the scripts so far useful. I’m still working out ideas for scripts after May so if there are any suggestions for things you want to draw let me know and I’ll try and work them into a story.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With this script I went with minimal dialogue. I’m pretty happy with it, the descriptions have a nice mix of detail and vagueness so you hopefully have a wide margin for interpretation.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This script is a zombie story set in the 1920’s. It’s my first ever attempt (and probably last) at writing comedy. I don’t know if others will find it funny but it made me laugh.</span></i><br />

Apologies this is a day late I have been very very busy developing a web series, Avengers, Writing a graphic novel, Avengers, overhauling the site, Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises trailer, Avengers, free comic book day, and when I wasn't doing all of that I managed to find time to see Avengers. So yeah, it's been hectic.<br />
<br />
This months story was originally planned for last month but I swapped it for the Childhood feud story. I wanted to do another script that had next to no dialogue. I'm not 100% that It's as good as it could be with a bit more dialogue. Illustration wise it should be fun as it covers each decade from the 50's to the 80's<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />
<br />
<u>Short Notice #8: The Day The Music Died</u> (download script <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3MteMNgsi1hV1czeWo5dXphSXc" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
<br />
This story is about how the music and deaths of Buddy Holly, Elvis, and John Lennon affected three individuals in very different ways.<br />
<br />
Feel free to leave comments or message me about this months script and I'll see you here again June 5th<br />
<br />
Stay Awesome<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">Six months ago I started this project and I'll be honest, I did not think I would keep it up past the first post. Yet here we are. And with it comes a logo which adds a little colour to each update. It also comes with a new script format, previously I was using the Dark Horse format but thought I 'd play around the format used by Image. After just this one script I actually prefer it so expect it next month as well.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">Again I want to say a huge thank you for all the positive feedback and advice it genuinely means a lot to me. People have sent me pieces of art they've developed from the scripts but I keep forgetting to upload them I'll try and show them off in the next week or two.</span></span></div>

I have obsessed over it, lost sleep over it and ruthlessly enjoyed beating it into submission. It's also worth mentioning this script contains references to extreme nudity. So consider yourself warned.</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It started out as an idea playing around with meta-fiction, then I saw an old interview with Alan Moore talking about Intelligent erotica and somehow this story leaked out of my head onto the page. I really want someone to illustrate this probably more than any of the other scripts. But that could just be ego talking. Anyway I hope you enjoy.</span><br />

What a delay. Since last we spoke a laptop died, scripts lost, tears wept, a goat sacrificed, Cthulhu summoned, and a small child learnt the true meaning of Xmas. But everything is back to normal... For now.</span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for this months script I have mixed feelings. I wanted to adapt something into a comic so I picked an Inuit story that I thought would fit five pages. Not sure I've done it justice, maybe it needs an artists touch.</span>

Hopefully you didn't wake up anywhere too strange on January 1st. Anyway, another month another script. I quite like this one it felt easier to write and may be my favorite story so far. As a heads up, this script probably requires more pictorial research than the previous scripts as it uses a few real world settings as well as historical locales. So yeah good luck.</span><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></u>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also want to say thanks to all the people who have emailed saying they like what I'm trying to do with Short Notice and have been kind enough to make suggestions and give great feedback. Enough chatter, the script!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So number here's script number three. I was originally going to to do a Xmas themed script but when I couldn't think of a story I just decided that as long as there's snow in it all will be well. So I wrote a viking story.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not 100% on this one, I was trying to play around with descriptions and dialogue and if I'm honest I think it's a bit of a mess. But I like the story and I learnt a lot from writing this issue, which is why I'm posting it.</span><br />

The very first Short notice. Just as a recap, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea will be that every month I will post a 5 page comic script for illustrators to use free of charge. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The aim is to allow illustrators to get experience and just focus on their art without having to spend hours brainstorming their own ideas as well as allowing me to play with different writing styles in a medium that is totally new to me.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The rules I've stuck to for writing are similar to 2000AD's Future Shocks; five pages and no more than seven panels to a page. I</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">n return all I ask is that I </span><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">get sent a copy of the finished piece</span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> to post here on the site and of course </span><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">that I get a writing credit</span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> when or where ever the work is used to showcase your work.</span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Obviously you're only going to have the script to work from (although feel free to email me if I've written something truly baffling), so in an attempt make it a little easier for you (I hope) and to give you more free reign I've kept chunks of the descriptive elements fairly ambiguous.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> If that doesn't work let me know and I'll make adjustments next time, but please bare with me, as I've said before I'm used to screenplays so there's going to be a learning curve.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> Right, so here we go...</span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This piece looks at what happens when a religion start to become mythology, drawing heavily from celtic mythology with a little celtic christianity as well. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This being the first comic script I've written there's very little dialogue and has a variety of locations. </span></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a story about a man unknowingly clearing a debt with his memories and how those memories are then used. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">This is actually a comic adaptation of a short screenplay I wrote at University. Then, I liked the changes I'd made for the comic version so much that I re-adapted it back into a short screenplay that I'm going to be shooting in the next couple of months.</span><br />
