Confessions from the Making of Fort Paradox, part 04: Art Filters
Published Tuesday 13 March 2012 · Accompanied Episode 104
Cylinder: We're often asked... well, we're sometimes asked... well, someone asked me once, about how the episodes are drawn.
Darlan: The truth is, despite appearances, the comic strip isn't drawn as such.
It's merely photographed with a common-or-garden point-and-shoot camera, and most episodes then have 'arty' filters applied in post-production.
The 'Artwork by' credits refer to the person who wielded the camera and designed the filters for the episode in question.
At first I was going to illustrate the opening episodes, but then it came out looking a complete mess, so I decided I'd better stick to the acting and the executive-producing.
Ooh, I've just remembered - we designed a Jackson-Pollock-esque filter for Episode 24, didn't we?
We did.
But it didn't really work, and nobody wanted to keep it.
