Das hier hab ich auf der englischen Seite von TOEI Animation gefunden:
"
The company is currently digitizing the entire animation production process. This strategy aims to integrate the digitization of all activities from production of key animation, in-between animation, and backgrounds, to tracing, coloring, filming, and finishing. When this project is completed, paper and pencils will totally disappear from our studios, something that had been impossible until now. By pursuing this strategy, we will build a de facto standard for the digital animation age to come, and lead the industry.
The objective of our project is not simply to digitize the production process and reduce costs. Effectively using digital tools will also help our creators increase their productivity, and give them more creative freedom. The results will contribute to enhancing product quality and skills. "
Sieht so aus, als wären also auch bald pencils und meine geliebten Backgrounds einfürallemal Geschichte.
Gut für die Indutrie, schlecht für uns Sammler.
Wenn TOEI Vorreiter in Sachen Digitale Animation wird, werden auch sicher alle anderen Studios bald folgen.
Also greift zu , solange noch was auf dem Markt ist. Es könnte früher vorbei sein, als es uns lieb ist.
