valley of white birds was busifan??? how did i miss that!! i just came across it on wolf smoke's youtube channel but that explains so much haha, no wonder it was so good. cannot wait for his new film to be translated @.@
the hellboy stuff is really juicy, great advice on shot framing that i fully intend to steal. thank you again for writing, you always bring something fascinating!
Thank you so much! And yeah, Busifan co-directed Valley of White Birds with Cloud Yang, the co-founder of Wolf Smoke. According to Chinese outlets, it was originally really wordy (in true Busifan fashion) but Wolf Smoke cut all the dialogue, which changed the vibe a bit away from something like Mr. Miao or Dahufa. Still a stunning film visually.
The Hellboy guide pages are fascinating, thank you so much for sharing them! The confined space in the composition moving through to a wider space is so good. I hadn't thought about how different composition is in graphic novels compared to the set size of a screen in animation/film. Using scenic elements to give that feeling and shape of panels is going to be knocking around in my head for a while now!
Happy to bring them to a wider audience, and glad they're so inspiring! We were blown away when we stumbled across them -- they have so much rare insight into the art of staging.
So much to think about and see here! Thankyou.
Awesome to hear! We love sharing these Hellboy guides, in particular, whenever we get the chance.
