What Lord?

The voice of Lord Julius. By the great voice-over talent John Dicrosta.


Also, this Friday on Cerebus TV:
This week's episode has never-seen-before footage of final Cerebus issue 300
being drawn by Dave Sim and then in production at the printer in February of 2004.

"They knew the CBC wouldn't do it. They knew CKCO the local Kitchener CTV
outlet wouldn't cover it -- so three intrepid Twin Cities comrades decided
THEY would document the production of Cerebus 300 for posterity.

"Six years later, this footage will be seen worldwide...for the first time.
Even Dave Sim HIMSELF hasn't seen it yet, so join Dave as HE tunes in, Friday at
10 pm (EST) in Kitchener!"

And today 3 new webcomics at www.cerebus3d.com : Young Cerebus, Capt. Zap and Reality Stripped.

What A Scene!

Chris Holden is contributing his High Society model to our Cerebus Film. It'll be featured in the ending where we see Cerebus ascending the staircase towards the building setting up our sequel based on the second book (High Society) in the Cerebus Graphic Novel series.

Also, our first complete talkie scene will most likely be the Necross scene: I figure it's a good one as it's short, funny and has a beginning and an end, almost a movie within the movie. We now have 5 animators working on it (in no particular order):

Roy Margalit, Owen Wilson, Sterling Reames, Jason Minos and Emmy winning Animation Director Mike Milo.

What A Cerebus!

Below is the voice of Cerebus: John DiCrosta, who recently did the voice of "Doctor" in Transformers 2.

Dave Sim always said that Cerebus sounds like George C. Scott and does a great impression himself:)

Also, tonight! featuring a couple new animated bumpers:

Episode 12 of CerebusTV will air tonight at 10pm ET / 7pm PT and will be 1/2
hour long, on continuous rotation through out the weekend and will feature
"Viewer mail, Cerebus Archive and GP 13 /Stan Drake/ nightscape artwork
techniques"

What Ladies!

Our Cerebus movie is more in the mold of "Lock, Stock and 2 smoking Barrels" about a bunch of guys acting like idiots and as such there is not a whole lot of ladies regrettably. In the sequel "High Society" as any Cerebus reader knows they figure more prominently -and are probably some of the strongest and most independent women figured anywhere. All the same our film does have some:) Brian Buchmann progress as such shown above. Stunning.

Also, today 3 new webcomics uploaded as we do each and every Wednesday.

What Wizard Voice!

We are talking about the Wizard of Cerebus issue #1, who uncharacteristically (like so much in Cerebus issue #1) was given no personality -in most issues of Cerebus that were to follow: it's the side characters who are the most fun while Cerebus basically reacts..usually with a disapproving grunt or arched eyebrow...I've always thought of the dynamic akin to Bob Newhart show, though Newhart would react with a stammer:)

So to make Cerebus issue #1 more in keeping with the Cerebus style that would later develop we've here fleshed the Wizard out a bit and he's now a central character telling the tale of his own demise..sorta kinda like the movie "Sunset Boulevard":)

Doing the voice of the Wizard is the versatile talent of Stephen Mendel, who has appeared in numerous films and TV series.

Seeing how we can't just upload audio files I found some files that were handy (didn't want to spend too much time on this montage:)) and included them (featuring rough modelling,rigging and animation by Lorenzo Davis, Ajiesh Thuvanoor etc) though wouldn't go so far as to call this an animatic.

What Talk !? part2

Unfortunately blogger doesn't let you just upload audio links, but anyway above are some of the Cerebus voices in no particular order -comments are much encouraged!:)

What Talk!?

We welcome the terrific animator Jason Minos onboard -who along with Multi Emmy winning animation director Mike Milo are working on our first "talkie" scene! No, we haven't cast Cerebus yet -so they are animating just Necross (the sensational voice of Michael Anthony Petranech) for now. Necross modelled and rigged by Erik Frederik. Below is my attempt at doing a little "inspirational bit":)
Before I pull the trigger on who is the voice of Cerebus I'll upload voice samples without names this week.



Exterior Environment (still inprogress) by multi award winner Kerem Gogus. Interior Environement(still inprogress) by the incredibly talented Ludovic Leleu. Cerebus modelled by Brian Buchmann and Christophe Brebion. Rigged by Daniel Edwards
