Here's a rough of the next Snapper comic page. It still needs some outline work and text added. Still, it's proof that the project is still alive. I plan to get three new pages done this week, so keep checking back!
Nestled in the hills of Tennessee is Ulanawa Lake. Local legends claim it is home to a vicious, possibly mutated, giant turtle known only as SNAPPER. For years, Ulanawa Lake has been the scene of countless mysterious deaths and disappearances. Though authorities remain baffled, the locals blame Snapper.
We are proud to announce the release of the first 'film' to pay homage to the Beast of Ulanawa Lake
Loosely based on the Ulawana Lake legend, SNAPPER is a new low in independent film! No budget, no talent, and one mean turtle puppet take on the art of guerilla film making.
Shot on a mini VHS camcorder in a mere three hour period, SNAPPER was undertaken with no script and a total cost of less than five dollars. The result was an amusing short feature that takes nothing seriously.
Though there was never any intention of marketing SNAPPER, all who saw the footage requested copies. Sadly, the tapes languished for three years in the custody of their creator. During this time, they went through several primitive VCR to VCR editing attempts and were viewed by several people. All who experienced SNAPPER had a positive response to the stupidity the friends had wrought.
Due to that popular demandâ¦
THE SNAPPER DVD WAS BORN
The DVD contains the creator's final edits SNAPPER and SNAPPER REVENGE. It also includes a special bonus feature, SNAPPER IN THE RAW, consisting of the complete and unedited footage shot for SNAPPER.
To quote the creator, "â¦fuck it, I think we've done all we can, with what we have to work with."
Indeed.
The SNAPPER DVD is currently out of stock, but will become available again! Keep watching this site for details!
