Interesting note Shel. I wonder if this holds for other cultures? (We read L to R)
-----Original Message----- From: Shel Belinkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: PAW/PESOs: Tofu at CMWC A few months ago I was talking with a film maker, and she mentioned that showing a subject moving from left to right on the screen indicates movement towards something, such as when a ship leaves a port and heads out to sea it will be shown on the screen as moving L to R. Right to Left means that the subject is returning home, or to a point of origin. Some time after that, while watching a special feature on a DVD, the director of the film made the same comment. I wonder if that may in any way be related to why we see, and, perhaps, generally prefer, L to R movement, and subjects looking L to R, in many photographs? Might there be something within us that more readily accepts that idea, and that's why film makers have been using the concept as well?

Seems like most bike rider shots have the rider going from L to R. ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
