Anime production ARTWORKS 101

Once upon a time, before evil computers seized power, anime were handmade by fine craftsmen and craftswomen inside well-guarded animation studios.

 

Their hands pencilled and painted unique drawings, celluloids and backgrounds which were utilised to make actual anime.

 

The images you see watching your favorite anime are these very same celluloids animated over backgrounds.

Backgrounds

Gouache-painted decors on which celluloids were photographed to make up actual images of anime or movies.

There is only one background for a given cut – it is therefore very rare to own a celluloid together with its matching background.

Backgrounds could be used multiple times
