The Evolving Art Form (Revisited)

I've revised the segment I posted in late-December to incorporate some subsequent interviews and tighten things up slightly. Though I suspect there's more tweaking to be done, it remains satisfying.

The Bailey Matter

With the possible exception of Jack Johnstone, Bob Bailey is the single most important figure in this history of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, so it;s not surprising that the longest segment yet is the one about him. This is quite rough, to be sure, but still tells an interesting story.

The Game of Inches Matter

They say that football is a game of inches. The same can be said of editing a movie. This introduction isn't much longer than the previous version but nonetheless manages to include significantly more material than its predecessor.

The Introductory Matter

As I alluded to in my post from a few days ago, I've been working in earnest on editing. With that in mind, I'm happy to offer this (still slightly rough) introductory sequence.

The Art of Adaptation Matter

As a lifelong comics fan. one of the most interesting parts of interviewing award-winning writer David Gallaher was hearing his insights on the process of adapting a radio show for the comics medium. Here's a brief excerpt.

The Brick By Brick Matter

Over the past few weeks, I interviewed radio historian Martin Grams, Jr. and David Gallaher, writer of the Johnny Dollar graphic novel "The Brief Candle Matter". Of course, the interviews are the easy part. Transcribing them to identify which pieces fit with those already shot to best tell the story is rather more painstaking, though, satisfying in other ways. In any case, I think both of them for sitting down with me.
