how much "leader" do you need on the clips... like, 5 seconds on the start and end? Would it be easiest to have all the clips separately?
By the way, I just noticed one altered gag in the workprint. In the script, the bit with King Nod and the maiden under the canopy... it's left to the imagination what's going on. In the script, it seems like there was supposed to be a gag showing that she's really rubbing Nod's feet. It looks like there was a lot more of a running gag with Yum-Yum breaking her shoes. There's also a short scene with Zig-Zag being pampered by his minions...
A lot of this script-only material is terrific, so I wonder why it wasn't even storyboarded. I really suspect a lot of it was at least intended to be in the film because it seems to link up some awkward parts better. It's also interesting to see how scenes were moved around like "Your name is Tack?" moved way back to the scene with Tack fixing Yum-Yum's shoe instead of after "Go away, bird of evil!"
The whole shapeshifting scene is really goofy, too. It seems like that and the sorcery stuff with Zig-Zag during the war machine sequence were cut out to downplay any real sort of magic. Neither really seem to fit the tone of the film.
