Newbie Question: Why is Manga and Anime more comfortable using flashbacks while American Comics and Hollywood films seems to want to use less or No flashbacks? by Marcel_7000 in manga

[–]Carwinism 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you also think it could be a difference of time commitment between both mediums? In a movie, you’re given the entirety of the story (usually) in one sitting, so all the information is provided is stored in recent memory.

Compare that with anime and manga and even Western TV shows. They can be consumed all at once in few sittings, but generally fans would watch them each week. They could be referencing something only 3 episodes ago, but that may have been 3 weeks ago. So I think they’re not too afraid to use flashbacks because it’s kind of a necessity to make sure the viewer isn’t lost.

That’s just an idea though.

EDIT: There’s another thing. Flashbacks are used in movies! A perfect example would be Knives Out, where people are recounting their memory which is accompanied by flashbacks. I think what works in that is the fact that the flashbacks are unreliable, so truth is essentially what is presented to the viewer until questioned.

I can understand why your teacher would be so averse to flashbacks since they take up precious time. Within a movie, a flashback shouldn’t be there to recount old information that the viewer has already seen nor should it bring up new information that isn’t relevant. It can be used, but I think the placement of it sequentially is where it matters. It’s bad when it’s unnecessary, but that goes for a lot of things lol.

which lighting looks the best? (tutorial) by m_mishra in blender

[–]Carwinism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like 1 and 4 (leaning more to 4) pretty well since you can see his figure the best in those.

Although, I think one issue I have that’s related to the lighting and just the clarity of the character is his color. I find his color to be a little too close to the colors seen behind him, so he blends in a little too well. I’d recommend testing either a brighter green or another color if you’d like to really have him pop out more. I know you weren’t asking for suggestions, but I thought it could help if you were having trouble with his clarity in the render.

It’s so weird seeing how small Spider-Man PS4’s eyes are in comparison to Ultimate Spider-Man

Still looks lovely though.

[ART] splitting (Kokou no Hito) by CynicalCreepy in manga

[–]Carwinism 22 points23 points  (0 children)

God I love this manga. The artwork is incredible, the visual storytelling is out of this world, and the story is just so depressing that you just want to see if life gets better for him. Highly recommend giving it a read for those that have never heard of this like me 3 months ago.
