I know it’s not my day, but just a random post.

Team, do take a look at this.
Very interesting, I love the way they panel it during the dialogues.

SEQUENTIAL ART AND DESIGN

These are some useful resources from SaHun’s class.

HAHA

PLEASE READ IT, it will be uploaded to box.net

It’s about words and images of comics,
the paneling and transitions of comics.

it’s good stuffs, i promise

Closure

When we think of graphic novels, or in fact, any form of sequential art, closure comes to mind.

Since my semester was postponed, I’ve had time to place my focuses on streamlining my studies(I know that the Art and Design students have studied closure as well) and have come across this when I was studying comics as an artform.

Closure, is when the mind covers the gap from one image to the next. That gap, is what we call the gutter, a divide that separates the pictures. In-between two static images that differ slightly, when viewed alone, they have their own meanings, however, when juxtaposed, the mind would create a link using prior experiences to cover the lost time, space and events between the two images.

I found this to be extremely fascinating and wish to experiment with it. What if the gutter is expanded or contracted? Does it matter if there’s a gutter space? What happens when scenes go off-border? What if there’re no borders?

This, is definitely worth pondering and experimenting. Team, what say you?

DECEPTIVE CAMERA ANGLES

Graphic novel ?

Hey, i think that’s really cool.

Look at this too…

I am legend, graphic novel movie.
We’ll talk about that on 29th March, don’t be late, Cityhall 1.30pm.

Sparked

I know I’m double posting, but I think I’ve got it, two words.

Graphic.

Novel.

Watch this…

A Scanner Darkly.

I gotta thank my laziness to keep this DVD. It laid there, on my desk and I stared at it for a minute or two before it hit me.

We have webcomics, we have comics in book form, A Scanner Darkly was a film done entirely in vectors. Why can’t we have a graphic novel as a film? Noone has done it yet I believe. Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel simulated interactive comic to retell the tale of the first game of the Metal Gear Solid series, one of my favorite game franchises. This, is a new way of dealing with an old media, in other words, new media.

I may have just found our answer.

So why can’t we make something like it? FYP mates, what do you guys think?
