My brother Dave, a super-talented film-maker, recently picked up this gorgeous new camera. It’s an SLR that happens to shoot really great HD video. .. okay I admit… there’s way too many happy adjectives in those last two sentences… but I’m seriously excited to show you guys what he can do with this camera. He’s been wanting to film me working on my webcomic, One Swoop Fell, so he hung out for a couple sessions in the studio while I worked on last week’s page. The end result is awesome and I hope you guys will go watch and enjoy it! (I’d embed it here, but it doesn’t appear that we’re allowed to!)
One Swoop Fell – Never the Task at Hand from David Dutton on Vimeo.
… It’s a major credit to Dave’s expertise in editing and photography that I appear to look like I know what I’m doing (though we also get to see how often I erase, redraw, and be indecisive in general). Please “heart”, comment, and share this video with friends if you like it! Based on the feedback, I’m hoping to do some more of these, but with dubbed commentary.







Nice video dude, With great music two!! never even heard of Pogo! Thanks for that!
I was waiting for it, I’m serious ! A collab between you guys, about One Swoop Fell ! Yay ! ^^

Awesome video! Your brother is talented indeed! But don’t be too humble, you make it look so easy! It was great to see you building a page from the little sketches to the final, makes me jealous how inks look easy in your hand… Thanks for sharing the process! I’m gonna read the last page on the site now! ^^
Wow! I always love seeing another artist’s process. Really great work! On both accounts. Dave’s got some incredible videos as well.

I already told ya, but it’s worth saying again- this is awesome as are you buddy.
Wow, the video absolutely rocked, cheers! And man is your hand steady, if i ever tried inking it’d end up looking like abstract art. I hope you and your bro make another one if yous ever get opportunity to. =D
awesome video, mike! i kept thinking i was watching some bbc docu :p
I loved this. The footage, the cuts and transitions from pencil (music) then set up for ink (studio sound) to pen (music). Your bro is quite talented! What kind of camera is that?
Pure AWESOME Dutton. The beats on that video were pretty killer too man. Nice to see how you go about your process. I really can’t say enough good tings dude. You took all my words away!! Hope you are well!! -Christine
Awesome Mike, Your Bro loves you :D
