The Official Guide to the Hero Heights Universe.
Hey Folks! It’s been a while since we posted. But we’ve been really busy what with our re-pitch and everything! It turns out we may be running a little long on the short, so we may have to chop it down to size.
But before we make any drastic changes we are going to make a rough animatic. Which means we will be syncing up the storyboard art to a scratch recording of the dialogue. Last week I went into the recording booth and belted out all the lines from the script. It was fun but exhausting! Hats off to voice actors! They really work hard for their money! Bill had a good time directing me from outside the booth.
I also did a rough slug of the boards. Which basically means I determined how many frames of screen time each drawing would get. Some panels were held for as long as 90 frames while others were only held for 2 frames. At 24 frames per second that means 1/12 of a second.
From this point the animatic Editor will take my timing notes and my scratch recording and somehow make sense of all the gibberish and give us a rough cut of our short. Then we’ll be able to determine what we can cut out or even what areas we can speed up or need to slow down.
Today we thought we would post the first of a series of Bios for each character done in the classic Marvel Universe format.
Enjoy!

Raul is so multi-talented!! (I know Bill is too, but Raul and I go waaay back..like all they way back to when Features were created by drawings!) I am so happy to see you using your animation and voiceover skills to share your story with the world! Keep it up bud!

Raul, I got this link from Hector and I just want to congratulate you for such a fantastic job. I remember you doing cartoons all the time when we where little. But then I lost track of your career. You

Recuerdo cuando ibas de vacaciones a La Chonita y nos dibujabas a todos los chamacos de la familia, espero que todavia tengas algunas de esas caricaturas, me encantaria verlas otra ves. Saludos y espero que te vaya muy bien en tu nueva aventura, te mando un abrazote, tu primo Sergio.
