(I ultimately decided
to go with the selection from my favorite movies that I figured was probably
least likely to have already been adapted for real.
RIP Alan Rickman)

their attention to look at the computer screen.

has a relieved look of realization.
GWEN: It always stops at ‘1’ on the show!

picked up his weapon and laughing to himself. GWEN is just starting to follow.
JASON: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh!
GWEN: Um…what were you saying…?

This is a favorite in our house--it's a movie my wife and I can go through every line like Robin Hood Men in Tights and Princess Bride. An all time classic, and this is a GREAT scene. How fun. For me though, I think I would have started this scene slightly later in the count down like at "3" or something, just so the artist isn't drawing basically the same thing over and over.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty good catch and thought, especially since I've already gone and adapted it to show both the wait and the countdown side by side. It would also allow me to clear up the page a little bit more.
