Thanks for reminding me...I have an hour to finish of this movie from last night.  Really good so far.


zomg


how, where

[close]

Basically, by being a filthy Akira nerd that's been collecting production art from the film for years. It's getting almost impossible to track down cels like these, especially anything with Kaneda's bike in full. So, I spent months sending out emails to anyone who sounded like they might have one. Then, 3 weeks negotiating with an ex-comic shop owner in London to work out a deal for these ones, which are undoubtedly the best I've got. They were pretty steep though, and that's before I send them on a round trip to a lab in the States to be prepped/framed.

That said, they are my pride and joy.

yeah I'll bump quote it as well.  illest shit in this thread.

mouth, how big is that tetsuo falling one?  also not being super familiar with animation techniques, is that hand painted onto the cel? 

[Mouth]

I'm surprised I'm not the only one who loves shit like this. To be honest, I was expecting you guys to call me out for my nerdy antics.

The pencil sketches (or Douga, as they are known) are hand drawn, with different animators taking ownership of different scenes or sections of the movie, based on their personal strengths. The sketches are then traced by hand onto the cels/acetates, before their reverse is hand painted based on the colour coding that you can see in red ink on large Tetsuo kicking sketch (behind the cel). Quite a lot of work, considering the process is repeated 24 times for every second of the film. In some cases, up to nine cel layers are onscreen at any point in time, plus the background painting.

The Tetsuo falling/hallucinating cel is standard size (Although multi-layered), which is around 13.75 inches x 9 inches. The bulk of Akira cels and cels in general are that size. As you can see in the group shot, the others are larger, due to the level of detail required or need for panning, as in the case of the cel featuring Kaneda's bike.

It'll probably look like a big block of resin on my wrist but I don't care, I wanted something durable and reliable to wear for work and stuff. Can't go wrong with the tried and true. I'm not making the kind of scratch where I could afford one of the nice German automatics that I want but G-Shocks will always be cool.

[Al Borland]

$1.06 at an antique shop.

I thought my Akira collection was good but by posting the cells im going to assume you have me beat. I would sell my soul and pimp out my girlfriend for those. Good looks man, best thing ive seen in this thread so far.

[ivegotlevitation]

I.E. and The DC Video on DVD, also Nervous Breakdown on VHS for a total of $9. thank you Goodwill.

[lem]

Actually being paid on set is fucking great. This is what it feels like to just buy whatever the fuck and still be set on food and rent.




And the joys of calculating the cheapest route for a Wii and all the proper Mario games: Kart, Golf, Party, Tennis (maybe), Paper, Sunshine, Galaxy. Also Wind Waker and Brawl. And a bunch more Gamecube classics.
