24 Hour Comic Trailers

In Portland Oregon, eight artists come together to participate in Scott McCloud's 24 Hour Comic Challenge, attempting to write, draw, and complete a 24 page comic, in 24 hours. With the smell of coffee and doughnuts lingering over a table filled with pencil shavings, director Milan Erceg delves into the personal lives of each of the participating artist to examine how and why they got into an industry that rarely rewards their passion with fame or money. Further exploring the business of comic art, Erceg peppers in interviews from an impressive list of nationally recognized comic book experts including, Scott McCloud, cartoonist and author of “Understanding Comics”, Paul Guinan creator of “Boilerplate”, David Chelsea, acclaimed graphic novelist, Mike Richardson, founder of Dark Horse Comics and many others. An inspiring look into the art world’s version of a marathon, 24 Hour Comic leaves the audience with a deeper appreciation for the artists who spend a life creating.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The subject matter of this film was interesting enough, and I won't provide any spoilers in regard to the storyline, but the camera work was just awful. The person behind the lens could not, for the life of them, focus their camera or hold it steady. It drove me NUTS!Every single shot either began or ended out of focus and, after a while, it started to give me a headache. From the repeated quick zooms in and out, the jerky camera movements, the countless blurry shots, and the barrage of shots that would begin out of focus only to quickly hunt back into focus and then back out of focus again--sometimes more than once in the same scene--ended up becoming so distracting that I could barely focus on the storyline and what the people in the film were saying; I was focused more on the poor camera work. In fact, I find it to be so bad, for me, it's now become the reference film for how not to shoot a film.I don't know if the cameraman thought they were being creative or what. But the purpose of these types of camera movements and focus techniques is for creative purposes that are meant to be used sparingly--not for virtually every scene! Otherwise, it just becomes annoying and viewers end up paying more attention to the flaws than they do the story. That's just filmmaking and videography 101. This cameraman doesn't seem to understand this, so it's left feeling like amateur hour for most of the shots.TL:dr: If you can manage, for over an hour, to stomach the distracting and annoying camera work, then you might enjoy this documentary. If not, then that's too bad for all involved, including the viewers.
