Wamester and writers Ernie Altbacker and John Semper seem to assume viewers have a knowledge of DC characters that extends well beyond the current DC animated film continuity, introducing Martian Manhunter (Ike Amadi), Vixen (Keesha Sharp), and Green Arrow (Jimmi Simpson) with relatively little explanation before sending John and Green Arrow into space to investigate what happened to Hal Jordan (Nolan North) and why his boss Ganthet (Jason J.

Unable to connect him with the Green Lantern headquarters on Oa, the helpful ring sends John to the Justice League headquarters for more information on what his new job means. He initially thinks he’s losing his mind when he encounters a dying alien in a crashed spaceship - a riff on Hal’s classic origin story - and is granted the immense power of a Green Lantern ring.

I view all the frames as a slideshow and I remove any frame that there are doubles of (someone might be blinking in first frame and normal in second) or remove any that seem less interesting this time around.Ĥ. So the next step is to edit, usually there might be a week or 2 between the first grab and this edit stage. This usually leaves me with around 200-250 frames per film. Depending on mood I could spend a few hours just doing the grabbingģ. I watch through the movies on VLC, usually between 3x and 4x speed while listening to podcasts, grabbing any frame that interests me. i try to keep a mix of styles.genres/directors and DP’s so I dont get bored while working.Ģ.
