A lot of times I *don't* enjoy the front and
center, full head shot...'cuz I think it's boring
(especially if there area a lot of those out
there). Of course there are exceptions...like if
the front shot shows lots of joy, saddness,
determination...etc.
When I read the "how to select cels" I was
suprised...it was kinda like telling you how to
think!...but then I remembered that traditionally,
cels are framed and I guess it's like taking
pictures. Mostly, you take pictures of you
standing there beside something...like mug shots.
I'd rather have action and scenes that brings back
memories or evoke emotions that I had while
watching the anime.
With all that said, I think lots of dealers or
shops still sell cels with the idea that everyone
wants profile...mug like shots and thus those are
priced the most.
Also, I collect cels from series that I *haven't*
seen...simply 'cuz I like the anime and plan to
see it. For Card Captor cels...I love her outfits
and think she's adorable...so...I buy different
outfits ^^. Anyway, I don't pay too much
attention to the front and centered idea of cel
buying...but then again, if a cel is a profile
shot...I do sort of expect it to be less expensive
^^ (hmm...).
Anyway...that's my rambling...my 2 yens. |
