I'm definitely going to attempt that.  I'm resistant to the idea of cutting it up into a 12-part "miniseries"-type thing, simply because I'm fairly certain that some of the "chapters" are much longer than others in their filmed state.  It would be a little odd to see a 40-minute "episode," then the next one is 10 minutes.  I don't know if the difference would, in fact, be so extreme, but I'll see how it works when I get to the edit itself.

 

I wasn't suggesting to devide it up into 12 separate chapters or into a 12 part "miniseries", but just to insert a black screen with the quotes between scenes in the film corresponding with there location in the comic (which is between chapters). I'd still recommend keeping it one long film. I think it would just be kind of cool to include the quotes, perhaps it would make it feel even more like the GN. But again, not sure how it will effect pacing.

How do they do that? Do they just treat the Black Freighter sequences as an animated version of the comic book that the kid is reading? Does anyone know?

 

Not sure, but I am willing to bet they have some clever transition.
