In my post “Like moving pictures, but not<\/a>” I specifically talk about some of the ways Sequential Art and Cinema are different; How there are things comics can do that are completely unique to it.<\/h4>\n

That said there are many ways in which they are similar and certainly a lot can be learned about telling a story with pictures, from the study of cinema. Filmmakers have taken symbolism and staging within a frame, with or without sound, to the level of a high art. I’ve created a playlist of clips that analyze film and draw out lessons any comic artists could find informative here. I recommend getting a cup of something and sitting down to watching them over the course of a few session.<\/p>\n

This playlist features the great work of several youtube critics and filmmakers: In order of appearance; ‘Every Frame a Painting<\/a>‘; ‘The A to Z Review<\/a>‘;\u00a0‘Cleos Thoughts<\/a>‘;\u00a0Steven Benedict<\/a>; ‘Twin Perfect<\/a>‘;\u00a0Krzysztof Kieslowski; &\u00a0Terry Gilliam! I will update and add more over time as i find them. Feel free to send me<\/a> recommendations!<\/p>\n
