A True Love Story

Dad's Comic

This is the ComicLife I made with the pictures from the family project we were doing in ACH 102. I mostly used pictures of my family and some off the internet.

Comic life I hate you...I really hate you

So as you all know we have the graphic novel we have to create using comic life or comic creator. When I was first told of this I was really excited because I like comics and I figured that by doing this assignment would make me even happier. I was wrong. I was very wrong indeed.

Comic life is the most annoying program I have ever had the (dis)pleasure of knowing. You may be asking why hate this program so much. I hate it because it moves so slowly and the grating sound effects you hear when ever you do something in this program. I just hate this assignment so much. If we were to create an actual comic, by drawing or making a collage or what have you, something that was done using our hands, then it wouldn't be so bad.

It doesn't matter though. I still have to do this assignment on this stupid program. Sigh, well I all I can do now is carry on and just make the best of this situation. I still hate Comic Life.

Comic Life vs. My Family

Comic life is an amazing tool. It can take an ordinary sequence of pictures and turn it into an amazing story. Comic life has features that allows pictures to become pages in a comic book along with words and even actions; something that powerpoint lacks. By exporting the book as a quicktime, you are then able to create a movie of you pictures comming to life.

I really liked everything about Comic Life and the features it has. Its so easy to use and adds detail and emotion that wouldn't normally be there in a normal picture. It would be really cool if you could put the comic book quicktime into the sketchup museum so that it shows you movie in your 3D space. There may be a way however i'm new to both programs so it may take some time to figure out. Above is the video of my Comic Book Edit. Enjoy!
