Visit: Musée Hergé

If ever you go that side of Europe, a visit to Tintin's creator's museum could be worth the while.

Bordwell discusses & analyzes stuff in another excellent blog:

Herge:

I have taken from the current cinema its devices of découpage: once a character becomes important, you show what he's doing, you vary the shots, you show the same scene from far off and then quite close.


I'm a man of order, you see, even in drawing. I draw orderly things so one can read what I am drawing.


I don't try only to tell a story, but rather I try above all to tell a story. There's a slight difference.
