New Sequart Book Analyzes Comics Film Adaptations
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Sequart Organization is proud to announce the publication of Moving Panels: Translating Comics to Film, by Logan Ludwig.
Are
comics just movie storyboards that are too expensive to ever actually
commit to celluloid? Are movies just comics with added motion? These two
media have become more closely tied in recent years (thanks to a bevy
of comics adaptations), and they seem naturally related. Both are
comprised of visual storytelling techniques that would seem readily
compatible, but are they really that similar?
Moving Panels: Translating Comics to Film
digs into this issue by analyzing, through careful examination of
aesthetics, just how linked and distinct the two media are. By looking
at the film and comics versions Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Persepolis, Watchmen, and Sin City, Ludwig dissects just how the two media interact, their respective strengths and weaknesses, and how similar they really are.
