Do you see the character in the upper left of this comic book, well it's me! Don't go thinking it's an actual drawing, for it's a piece of art by Christophe Weber that I saw at the Galerie W corner, at the Chic Today exhibit at La cité de la Mode, by the Seine. This is actually a live image, projected on a huge screen, with two cameras on each side; each of them films the people in front of the screen and turns them instantly into comic strip characters. Great idea! On top of that the Galerie W people had the marvelous idea of using polltogo to get people's reaction on the spot. Really Fun!
I simply don't know what to say to this photograph !

ReplyDeleteWow - how do they do that?! Very cool!! And it sounds like it was a Polltogo rousing success. Most excellent.... : )
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific. I want one!
ReplyDeleteBy gosh, what will they think of next?! Both fun and cool, Eric.
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool!

That contraption is news to me too, and what a good idea. And now that you photographed the projection, you have your comic self to keep as a souvenir.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this—c'est formidable! But I must ask: What are you wearing? If you enlarge, it looks like you have flowered (plaid? camo?) trousers. :~}
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!! I love it! How much fun would it be to capture yourself in a comic, doing what you do and have fun doing it. Just great.
ReplyDeleteThe software is quite impressive.
ReplyDeleteHowever, as Alexa notes, the ericwear may be questionable!
@Dermo. "I simply don't know what to say to this photograph !" LOL. No worries, don't say anything... ;-)
ReplyDelete@Monica. ;-)) Thanks. Actually here is a usage of polltogo, we did not think of!
@Carrie. "And it sounds like it was a Polltogo rousing success." I haven't spoken to them yet, but I surely hope it was!
@Jack "This is terrific. I want one!" I'm sure you can buy it!
@Shell Sherree "By gosh, what will they think of next?!" Isn't what art is all about?
@Alexa (and Jeff)"But I must ask: What are you wearing?" Well surely not "flowered (plaid? camo?) trousers." (I don't have them LOL), but simply a pair of jeans if I recall.
One last mot for the heck of it. The title of the post is ambiguous. A character in a comic, or a comic character. You may have been comic long before being put in the computer's comic!
ReplyDeletePretty cool! Don't take this the wrong way but you make a great comic character! ;) (well, in the context of this photo, at least ;)
