¡Animation AKIRA Layouts & Key Frames2 (OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS 24)
¡Otomo Katsuhiro
Description
"AKIRA" was released in theaters in 1988 and revolutionized the world of animation beyond the realm of manga. This book is the second of a three-volume compilation of the huge amount of layouts, original drawings, and revisions used in the production of the film, all drawn by the original author and director Katsuhiro Otomo himself. A layout is a blueprint of an animated film, in which the necessary information is drawn for each of the scenes that make up the full-length animation. In addition to the original drawings and layouts of "Part B" (continuation from the previous volume) and the beginning of Part C" of the four parts (A, B, C, and D) that make up the entire film, the book also includes rare reproductions of celluloid images of famous scenes that were created based on the original layouts. Following the previously published two volumes of "Storyboard Collection," this book reveals in detail the production process of the cutting-edge expressions that are still being used today. The film version of "AKIRA" was created through a thorough process in which the "layout," which depicts the backgrounds and character movements for each cut, was directed and revised by the animation director, art director, and even director Otomo himself. The book is an unprecedented book that allows the viewer to experience the uncompromising quality of the screen work by simply flipping through the pages, one by one, and seeing the continuous action of each scene. As in the previous volume, almost all pages are printed in color, and many reproductions of celluloid images are included. This volume especially contains a large number of original drawings of corrections within a single cut in succession, allowing the viewer to see the movement of the pictures in greater detail, and this structure allows the viewer to further understand the details of the character movements that Director Otomo was so particular about. The total number of pages is approximately 710, more than the previous volume.
