Not Comics: American Cinematographer On John Cassaday's TV Directorial Gig

imageI fairly blew off the fact that artist John Cassaday directed an episode of the now-canceled television series Dollhouse not because I wish any ill will to Mr. Cassaday but the trivia aspect of him getting that gig, the simple fact of it and the careerist aspects, those didn't really connect back to comics for me. I thought this article in at the American Cinematographer article did a nice job of presenting what that experience was like creatively for the successful comic book illustrator and I believe former film student, from presenting his visuals in a static frame to the differences of collaborating on set versus working something out in a studio to creating visual concepts that are then realized on screen.
