Jameson
approached me with the basic idea for "Effin Kids" and
it sounded like fun. Kids that turn into giant monsters and start
trashing a city - what's not to like? The idea sounded right up
my alley and I hadn't worked from some else's scripts in a while
so I thought it'd be a good
experience for me to be a part of a collaborative effort again.
I designed
the kids first and then turned Brian and George into monsters.
I didn't
want to change them so much that they weren't recognizable.
Brian retained
his big eyes and short cropped hair. George's kept his shaggy,
sheepdog hair (I loved the idea of a bookworm with obstructed
vision). Their color schemes came out of Jameson's idea of how
to handle the colors: start out with dull blues and reds and
introduce brighter greens and oranges as the action picks up.

right there!") |
