I cheated a bit with panels 13 and 14, because there are only 13 "stable" states in the title sequence, and 13 panels do not fit nicely into a grid. So I assigned the stable states to panels 1-12 and 15, and for 13 and 14 I used "in-betweens. " Still, I think it works nicely. A longer strip could be done using many more of the in-betweens.
Edit: now that I look at it, it kind of reminds me of the I-Ching. Just look at that eighth (and central, though not consciously intended as such) panel.
cool comic, I like the end, it changes into a abstracted hand.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that's the "golden arm" of the title.
ReplyDeleteRats! You beat me to it! I was going to try this over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL breakdown Andrei! I'm going to show that in class when I discuss composition! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding.

Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJeffrey--that looks beautiful. In a weird way it reminds me of Antonioni--that kind of perfect composition, abstract use of color--say, in "Red Desert," or "Zabriskie Point"--which, no matter how cheesy the story, is a beautiful film, visually.
Grant--umm, sorry! Maybe you can do the longer version, with all the in-betweens...
yeah, diggit.
