Otomo The Complete Works 25: Akira Layouts & Key Frames 3
Product Code: 72581
The third of three volumes collecting layouts and key animation drawings (and cel set-ups) for Otomo's seminal animated feature film Akira.
Text in Japanese.
This book compiles layouts, original drawings, and revisions used in the production of the film version of "AKIRA," all drawn by the original author and director Katsuhiro Otomo himself.
A layout is a blueprint for creating 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 for the end of Part C (continued from the previous volume) and Part D of the four parts A, B, C, and D that make up the entire film, this volume also includes reproductions of multi-level animation cels of many famous scenes that were created from these drawings.
Almost the entire book is printed in color and contains numerous reproductions of cels, for a total of 678 pages, making it a book of unparalleled construction.
Otomo, Katsuhiro
