Okay we're back people (I have no idea how many people read these here, but welcome if you do!), it's been almost 5 months since our last episode but I really wanted to get moving on this photo comic again as I really do enjoy writing and shooting photos for it. As of this writing I have enough photos to probably get to episode 40 before I need to set up more scenes to photograph, maybe enough to get to episode 41 (I haven't story boarded past Episode 38 so I presently can't say).
Episode 37 marks our return to the "Search for Deep Six" story arc that's been going on behind the scenes since this photo comic began almost 2 and a half years ago (holy crap where did the time go??) and the photos in this episode were all shot on September 11th 2021. What's crazier? I put Episode 37 up on Instagram on September 11th 2023- two YEARS later to the day. Totally unintentional as I just looked at the dates on the original photos while writing this introduction.
Okay enough of me talking, onto Episode 37! As usual, click each photo to open it in a larger window for easier reading and look for Director's commentary after the last photo.
This episode, as I mentioned above, was a long time coming and I hope the pay off so far was worth the wait. I tried to take tips and tricks from filmmakers in that you shoot your scenes out of order as you have different time you can do different shoots either because of environmental or scheduling conflicts. So the photos from this episode and part of Episode 38 were all shot at different times. Alot of the time I would shoot random photos in these sets just in case later on I would have a need for X shot.
This photo is an aerial view of the Dr. Mindbender laboratory set and I took it if I needed it for reference again. It's also the same set as the Techno-Vipers Garage, just without the aluminum foil I had added to make it appear more "high tech".
The premise was always that Dr Mindbender's laboratory was HUGE but we only saw a small part of it. That blue "doorway" was a container I had gotten some mushrooms in and as these are living toys creating this lab, I thought it made sense that it would be cobbled together with whatever human made items they could drag down to their base.
I dismantled the lab years ago as I bought an Extreme Sets castle dungeon to use as his new laboratory (this is mentioned a bit a few episodes back, I think Episode 34) as it makes "sense" for a mad scientist to have a lab in an old medieval castle.
Stay tuned for Episode 38 coming next Monday, September 18th and I will try to stick to this Monday new episode release schedule from here on out- or until I run out of photos to make episodes from.
