Today is Saturday, and unfortunately that means lots of Green Lantern: The Animated Series fans are going through withdrawal. So, GLTAS producer Giancarlo Volpe gives us a short video showing us reference process that they go through to make those great episodes we love so much.

Animation is always better with acting reference, even if the “actor” is just an animator with no shame. This is a highlight reel of some stuff we sent to our wonderful overseas studio, CGCG to help them with their scenes.

An extra special thanks to Boola Robello for compiling and editing all this footage. You rock!

This video contains the song “Hal vs. Atrocitus” from the Green Lantern: The Animated Series soundtrack, available on Amazon and iTunes.

One major problem from an art direction perspective, with GLAS and anything Green Lantern in general, is the overabundance of green. It can be difficult to come up with nice color palettes when everybody and everything in the scene is glowing green. Matters were not made better with the introduction of Red Lanterns, as we now had the world’s weirdest Christmas to deal with.

Anyway, I tried a few things with Oa. Some were just different times of day, others were different takes on the palette. I think we went with the greenest one.
