Author Topic: Brainwrapcomics Andrew Shingleton Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Richmond, Victoria, Australia Registered: Feb 2004 posted 07-04-2004 06:19 PM                     http://www.brainwrapcomics.com/bwcover.html I stumbled on this while looking for other random things this morning. Couldn't find any reference to it on film-tech so I thought I'd post it here. Not bad, but not the funniest thing I've ever seen either. Parts of it certainily ring true for those of us in the movie business...  |  IP: Logged Robert Stawiarski Film Handler Posts: 62 From: MW Registered: Aug 2003 posted 07-04-2004 07:05 PM                    I don't know why I never thought to post this before... I worked with him at two different jobs. Extremely funny guy in person. He literally could make any story hilarious just by the way he tells it. His caricatures are top notch, too.... especially when you know the identities behind them. Good ol' "Martin."  |  IP: Logged Andrew Shingleton Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Richmond, Victoria, Australia Registered: Feb 2004 posted 07-04-2004 07:40 PM                     I had a feeling that a lot of it would have been based on real people, which would make it all the better if you actually knew who was being depicted. It's funny how I guess almost every cinema must have the same sort of culture - so much of the comic is very much like situations and people that I know and work with here.  |  IP: Logged Kyle Thiessen Film Handler Posts: 13 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 07-04-2004 08:18 PM                        Actually, I find Brainwrap Comics totally annoying. And it's not drawn very well, either. Nor can I relate to any of it. It's all crap!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-04-2004 09:12 PM                     Yeah Kyle, that guy really sucks. So did you ever learn booth? Surely you made it past that first day of sweating blood while building the Crimson Tide standee.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 07-05-2004 12:20 AM                     I suppose the humor in the comic strip could be better, but then again it's not all that bad coming from an amateur devoting the strip to the experience of working in a movie theater. It's not all that badly drawn either. In fact, it is pretty decent. At least the line work is clean, the color use is good and the figures don't look "dead." Sure, it doesn't rival the work of John Byrne, but the guy isn't being paid by Marvel. That's just my professional opinion.  |  IP: Logged Kyle Thiessen Film Handler Posts: 13 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 07-05-2004 12:25 AM                        Not only did I eventually learn booth, but I finally got to shovel some popcorn! I learned projection, which was bittersweet. I really really enjoyed it and took immense pride in providing the best picture and sound quality possible. Only problem was, management had other ideas... ...and at this rate, these experiences will be depicted in the comic in about 17 years. (Coincidentally, projectionists will be introduced in "Brainwrap Comics" in the upcoming update, July 15.) And yes, I miss it. (Projection, that is. Not shoveling popcorn.)  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-05-2004 10:53 AM                        Well I laughed at it and I've never worked in a theater. But it rings true anyway.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-05-2004 02:36 PM                       I was very well impressed.

Joe, somewhere in the archives you posted some similar drawings you used to do. You should bump those up at some point.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-05-2004 06:42 PM                  I thought it was teh ghey!
