Scott McCloud: Understanding comics
//www.ted.com In this unmissable look at the magic of comics, Scott McCloud bends the presentation format into a cartoon-like experience, where colorful ...
You know, this is freaking incredible. This is something I've been thinking
about a lot too, but from a slightly different perspective and motivation.
Comic books in general, even with the movies, have been falling in
popularity. But what do movies have that comics don't? The usual answer
would be you don't put effort into watching a movie. But I think the real
reason is that movies bring a world like none other, and books bring a
world much like comic books. But if we could expand that, make the comic
panels become somewhat of a world, it would be incredible.
+Hoto If I take you right, your comment belies just how important McCloud's message is. Assuming that you find meaning only in specifically quantifiable information as in raw data (valued as in economic value or monetarily) and avoid, ignore, or even denigrate the un- or less-quantifiable, then the degree to which you value your full potential as a human being, as a person within and mutually constituted with your socio-cultural uniqueness, McCloud provides a map with which to calibrate the methods and terms that keep us whole, together, that maintains our entire potential without cutting off your nose to spite your face.
The man is a genius. His books "Making Comics" and "Understanding Comics"
are required reading for anyone who wants to give comic book making a try,
and also for anyone who reads comics because these books will give you an
in depth understanding and hence appreciation of this sometimes overlooked
art form.
this brief 17 min talk is surely WAY over the heads of the participants in
the Audience...
he wrote THREE full graphic Novels to cover these ideas,
and trying to Synopsize it into a 15-20 Min., PowerPOint Demonstration.
If I was in the Audience I'd be like "HUH?? WTF???"
but because I have read all 3 books, I can follow his concepts and train of
Thought.
Anyone interested in what he's trying to get across,
read these three Graphic Novels:
1 Understanding Comic
2: Re-INventing Comics
3. Making Comics
oh, i love his metacomics! but i guess the presentation was a concise sample, because it is hard to cover the things on the comics in a single ted talk
