This was the very first real episode of the G.I. Joe: 3.75 Division photo comic, but it wasn't even 100% photographs. I was trying out something different, check it out below. Director's commentary after the last photo and be sure to click the photos to view them clearer.
Okay so I had this random idea while outside shooting this episode, that the Trader Toy who was meeting up with the Joe team had teleportation tech and would just *blink* into the scene without any forewarning. I didn't have ready access to my desktop computer where I normally do photo edits and add special effects, so this felt like a neat way to do it. I could also add a text bubble to the video and that was the thing that really sealed the deal for me.
I've received positive comments about it too. My one friend Andrew told me:
"It's like, suddenly while reading the panels you'd swipe to the left and *BOOM*!: there was this cool little action scene that would shake you up for a second."
And I thought that was kind of awesome, so I kept doing it.
On Instagram you can seamlessly swipe from a photo to a video on a post with no issues, but here on Blogspot, the video is sort've separate which is a shame but is still in the right sequence.
The original ending for this episode was actually a video, but I decided to make the entry here on the blog a bit more special and created a unique 10th panel as a "blogspot exclusive" of sorts.
This is the original video that was used for the 10th panel, voice over by me.
More episodes on the way!
