Marjane Satrapi, author of
Persepolis and the co-director of the
animated version, gives her thoughts on
making a film from comics.
"Animation and comics are false siblings. They resemble one another but they're two completely different things. The relationship a reader has with a comic is nothing like the one a viewer has with a film. When you read a comic, you're always active, because you have to imagine all the movements that happen between the frames. In a film, you are passive: all the information is there. And when you make a comic it never happens that you have 500 or 1,000 people reading it in the same place at the same time, all reacting. The language of cinema and comics is different, even though they both use images. In comics, you write with images; they're like pictograms. And in a movie you think about movement and sound and music, all those things that are not considerations when making comics."

Cool! Thanks for the link Mark! :)
In this article, she just comes off as really whiny.
I mean, come on. Complaining about the animators trying to draw in her style? Does she have any idea how animation works?! Either she draws every frame herself, or other people do it for her. There's no way around it.
People are saying "hello" and being friendly to you? Sounds terrible.
People want to interview you to help YOU promote YOUR movie? Oh, the injustice! Oh, the horror! Oh, AG-OH-NEE!
