If you’re new to the world of animation, I hope I’ve shed some light on the subject. When you watch a film, or a series it’s easy to forget about the work that went behind it, the “how it came to be.” When you learn about the processes behind the craft of something, you gain a whole new perspective which allows you to appreciate the work more than you would have guessed. If you’re a long time fan of animation, I hope you’ve learned something new. It’s not so easy to research the in’s and out’s of creating anime; and it can be a daunting task to research those behind the scenes. As anime gains more traction here in the west, year after year we’re gaining more insight into the world of anime production; and we’re discovering the iconic and fantastic work of animators old and new. In any case, thank’s for sticking with me! And here’s a special thanks to all the sources. Without them, this passion of mine would have never blossomed. That is, the love of motion.
