Arrival

A couple of tweets from GaryLevko and BobFillmore, promoting the release of the “SING” video.

I still think this is funny.

Gary Levko and (the now-deleted) Bob Fillmore promote the upcoming “SING” music video on Twitter (11/12/2010).

Way: Yeah. That was actually, in a lot of ways, more fun because it was a really big challenge. And I didn’t even realize this until we were filming the second video, but Jimmy from the band Mindless Self Indulgence played the main Draculoid, and he came up going, “I just realized…me and the other guys kind of look like Stormtroopers from Star Wars, but we’re these really insane punk rock ’70s horror movie versions!”

And Becky also pointed out, because she was the first person who had to draw them, that they look like Sid Vicious. She said, “I’m drawing this crazy Sid Vicious vampire” and you had this other reference point too…

Cloonan: It was Michael Myers from “Halloween!” These are like if Michael Myers were running around in a vampire cape. [Laughter] That’s how I approached it.

Way: So they were really fun to make. You’re getting into this world and just having fun with it. Again, you can just make something that’s not super generic because you’re not riffing on World War II stuff for your villains. You can have so much fun with it. Sitting with Grant [Morrison] was insane. Grant really designed his own costume. I sat down with him and said, “Let’s talk about Korse” and he immediately said, “This is what I think about Korse. He’s a bit of a dandy.” And he’s got all these ideas for it.

Cloonan: I love that Grant Morrison just owns that jacket. [Laughs]

Way: He was like, “I really want a frilly cuff.”

Simon: One of the best panels Becky did in issue #1 was when Korse was holding the gun. It’s so him.

Way: We practiced that a lot. I remember standing in my house and handing Grant his gun, and he immediately held it up in front of his face and was just like, “This is how Korse would hold it.” [Laughter] It’s crazy how many memories are coming back now that the book is coming out.
