We're coming up on 50 years of Gundam, and it's looking like they're going all in. If you haven't seen a Gundam anime yet, I'm always saying give one a shot, whether it's at the very beginning or just one that looks interesting to you. Every Gundam is somebody's first Gundam!
AI can transform your favorite anime into a cinematic, live-action experience with realistic lighting, smooth movement and professional camera work.
Filmmaking is clearly entering a new era.
The pixie dust effects in this sequence were hand-painted on animation cels by effects animator George Rowley; unlike typical water or rain particles, the dust was designed to fall slower, starting from an apex point, gradually becoming matte in texture, and "popping" as it descended to create a whimsical, fairy-associated sparkle...a technique Rowley adapted from his concurrent development work on Tinker Bell's magic for Peter Pan (released later in 1953).
Our feature artist/reference today is this COMPLETELY PERFECT pencil test by the talented Marc David. Such a MASTERCLASS in motion and subtlety! #animation#sleepingbeauty#Aurora
