I listen to Panelborders. It’s a UK comics radio show. Not loads of theory discussion; mostly interviews with up and coming cartoonists about their work 🙂
I say yes. It’s animation heavy for sure, but there is a strong presence of closure between distinct forms. And even though the animation controls a lot of the pacing, many compositions were static enough that I was able to “read” the panels at my own leisure, sometimes to look at what came before and sometimes to sneak a peak at what was coming next.
hey thanks guys for the comments and thank you m McCloud for posting it. My inspiration were for sure M Ware and also M Tom Gauld.
It was a project i did within the context of the sequential classes i was taking. I tried to merge animation (my profession) with principles of comics (panels, pacing, text vs images, etc).

Fantastic work. The grammarian in me would like to see a bit more space between “every” and “day.” The comics lover in me was wholly satisfied.
The 3-d recalls the spatial layout of a manga you pointed us to a few months back, Shintaro Kago’s Abstraction, right?
Yeah, the 3-D turns are a bit Kagoesque. 😉
A wonderful video!.. It is kind of neat to see your book in action, so to speak!.. Jacques did a elegant job with this!.. =)
very cool. speaking of theory. is there a podcast i can listen to that’s mostly about comics theory and comics industry issues?

Oh lord…I have to do it…
“Is it comics???!!!”
I say yes. It’s animation heavy for sure, but there is a strong presence of closure between distinct forms.

I refrained from asking, but It was hard!
It’s McLuhan. Thanks Scott. It’s McLuhan.

It’s great work, Jacques. Thanks for checking in!
Have you seen the Ira Glass/Chis Ware “Lost Buildings” DVD? I think you might enjoy it.
Fascinating. The pacing was perfect and complemented the subject matter to a tee.
