comics
Just finished the Eisner and McCloud reading. I've been reading comic books all my life and this is the first time I've actually given thought about how time is represented in 2D form. I think comic books are a lot like story boards - they convey time and mood through dialog and lighting. When I read comic books I create a continuous story in my head, filling in the gaps that are not drawn between frames. Subconciously I was filling in different durations based on what was potrayed. This reading really made me want to go back and examine the "frame" of an image effects my perception of time.
This really is just an excuse to read more comics.....
Off topic, but one thing I noticed about western comic books is the lack of the "color". Where as eastern comic uses many different shades of gray to represent the contrasts in color, western comics are usually just in black and white. But then again I don't read too many western comics, so I could be completely wrong about this.
