Animated Art

I'm particularly interested in animated art work
here's an example of an image that I feel benefits from animation.

 

Mock-Up of Comic Panel

decided to do a mock-up of my a typical panel in my comic.

Music Choices and Star Control 2

For my comic I've opted to use video game sound tracks and music where possible.
I think this will give the project a transmedia quality.

For my tracks I'm using tracks from Star Control 2, Pokemon and the Legend of Zelda.
Star Control 2 has been a big influence in my project. I particularly like the conversations windows that the player uses to interact with the game's various alien creatures.

Here are two examples. Similar to my project this element of the game utilises looping animations.

David Carrier

I've been reading some writing by David Carrier. In his book on "the aesthetic of comics" he highlights the ways in which comics differ from other media. Similar to Mccould's approach Carrier defines the medium in terms of causal connection. He uses this quote in his opening chapter

'Tis only Causation, which produces such a connection a connexion as to give us assurance from the existence or action of one object, that 'twas follow'd or preceded by any other existence or action"

He brings up photography in relation to painting stating that a photograph is just one moment, one point in a sequence. but a painting does not need to necessarily need to depict just one moment in time.
