Another little story I'm doing on the side simply 4 my own personal enjoyment & relaxation. It's a sequel 2
The Valley of The Jade Stars, my first adventure with Indiana Goof. This one tells what happened when I returned 2 Diz later on in 1985 2 visit Indy a second time.
It is being done storyboard style, meaning that I'm creating it entirely out of 30-second & 1-minute pencil quicksketches with all camera directions & dialogue (with the obvious except of a shot such as Panel 7, which took around 11 minutes in its entirety). The idea is simply 2 "toss out" the idea on2 paper as quickly as possible in order 2 record it, & I'm therefore deliberately ignoring my usual perfectionistic, let's-clean-up-everything-&-get-it-all-inked-precisely-as-it-should-appear-within-a-finished-publication procedure. The idea is 4 me 2 simple relax 4 a change & simply enjoy creating it without all the businesslike professionalistic gloss 4 once, & that's a genuinely rare oportunity 4 me these days!
4 anyone who may not happen to know: there really is an Indiana Goof. He was originally created by Bruno Sarda & artist Massimo De Vita & has become quite a well-known phenomenon in his own right in all Walt Disney comic magazine publications except those in English speaking countries (as he has only been introduced here about 3 times so far as 2 my knowledge). But those in English speaking countries like myself who have encountered here absolutely adore him. U go, Indiana. ;)In other countries he has been known as Indiana Pipps, Indiana Ding, etc.
LEGAL NOTE: This work is a Disney-based side project that, except 4 the characters & settings mentioned, is otherwise the sole personal property of myself, The Artist & writer of the work in question, & cannot be reproduced, copied, or otherwise used without my sole personal permission. Thank you. ;)
(DISSOLVE TO: Slow zoom/pan down to the base of tower to stop at sight of various dark figures walking slowly in and out along an enormous length of violently shaded red-gold-orange rug)
(DISSOLVE TO: Slow pan in on one of the next-to-main towers, then start panning down tower as next dissolve begins)
(ZOOM IN THROUGH FOILAGE TO: a bizarre fortress-castlelike structure located in the middle of nowhere in the jungle. While there is some form of dirt roadlike areas before it, there are otherwise no other signs of any other civilization. A peculiar reddish-orange glow emits from the inside of the open earth area surrounding the structure's base. Camera pauses for about three seconds to establish the structure's presence on screen, then begins to very slowly zoom in towards the structure. As slow zoom on structure begins, the soundtrack's music softly begins to fade into the background.)
(Camera soon zooms in on a particularly large palm so large and dark that it's black and fills the screen; palm is whisked suddenly aside as camera zooms through/past it)
(Camera continues to move forward through foilage so thick that screen is nearly black; only the vague shadows of some particularly close palms can be occasionally seen)
(DISSOLVE TO: Camera slowly zooming forward through jungle foilage to dense to see through or to make out any specific details)
(PAN STOPS AT: wild jungle located in some distant isolated area. Distant hills and mountains can just barely be seen against the slight grey glow of the horizon)
(FADE IN TO: An extremely early morning sky with wisped clouds across it. There is only one small star visible and a soft grey glow to the horizon, indicating that in an hour or two the sun will begin to rise.)
