You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint. We get an in-depth interview with the artists who worked on the technology piece, which was\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-7-1024x714.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-7\" width=\"640\" height=\"446\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4-1024x711.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4\" width=\"640\" height=\"445\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a character and concept-driven art book, then this might not be your style; however, if you are interested in breaking down the creation of one of Miyazaki's greatest works, then\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>is right up your alley.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\r\n<h3>Purchase<\/h3>\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1421565978\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1421565978&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=RSCIXSP5MQJJA7GT\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/book\/9781421565972\/?a_aid=Rotoscopers\" target=\"_blank\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sCCF_-KxTuo\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> ","post_title":"[ART BOOK REVIEW] The Art of Princess Mononoke","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"art-book-review-the-art-of-princess-mononoke","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-11-14 20:54:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-11-15 03:54:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=20454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"6","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":28},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_24082_4_691e6d0289032 jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 28 of 79</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="27" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/27/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='27' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/27/'>27</a> <span class='page_number active'>28</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='29' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/29/'>29</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='79' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/79/'>79</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="29" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/29/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV5779926499&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Main Discussion:\u00a0<em>Mickey's Christmas Carol\u00a0<\/em>(1983)<\/li>\r\n<li>One of\u00a0<em>many<\/em> adaptations of Dicken's <em>Christmas Carol<\/em>.<\/li>\r\n<li>Lots and lots of cameos.

The story follows\u00a0the adventures of a young boy named Zak, a crazy old man Gramps, and three bio-mechanically enhanced insects as they search to find pieces of the \u2018Shrinkinator\u2019 - the crazy invention that shrunk our heroes before exploding during a failed testing phase. The trio will have to\u00a0find the missing pieces and fix the Shrinkinator, all the while evading the clutches of a maniacal Mosquito, her devious daughter and a whole host of evil underlings.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xr2jwmg_HCU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>The trailer has no words, but still clearly and succinctly depicts the main points of the show. Also, for an animated TV show, the animation is quite impressive: fluid, smooth, vibrant. Zak reminds me a lot of Wilbur from <em>Meet the Robinsons<\/em>.\u00a0Color me impressed with this one. I'll be interested to see more of this show as it comes closer to release.\r\n\r\nThe CEO of One Animation Sashim Parmanand commented on <em>The Insectibles<\/em>' quality saying,\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re committed to developing TV and film content for animation fans around the world who want the highest quality CGI combined with classically brilliant story-telling and comedic endearing characters.\u201d\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/04\/check-out-the-first-trailer-for-the-insectibles-a-new-tv-series-coming-in-2015\/the-insectibles-trailer-still-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23444\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-insectibles-trailer-still-2-1024x535.png\" alt=\"the-insectibles-trailer-still-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"335\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe release of this trailer\u00a0back in October was followed by the animation house\u2019s announcement at MIPCOM that it will be co-producing <em>The Insectibles\u00a0<\/em>full series with ZDF, one of Europe\u2019s largest broadcasters as well as premiering the series on free-to-air German channel KiKA.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint.

The trio will have to\u00a0find the missing pieces and fix the Shrinkinator, all the while evading the clutches of a maniacal Mosquito, her devious daughter and a whole host of evil underlings.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xr2jwmg_HCU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>The trailer has no words, but still clearly and succinctly depicts the main points of the show. Also, for an animated TV show, the animation is quite impressive: fluid, smooth, vibrant. Zak reminds me a lot of Wilbur from <em>Meet the Robinsons<\/em>.\u00a0Color me impressed with this one.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint.

However,\u00a0now that we are less that a year away from the film's November 2015 release, Pixar\u00a0surprised us with a snazzy new logo, in addition to some new concept art.\r\n<h3>New Logo<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-logo-new\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23877\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New\" width=\"640\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe new logo was revealed in the 2015 Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture preview kit. The new logo is reminiscent of the most recent logo, but with a simplified twist. The font is asymmetrical and rough around the edges, giving the impression of a crude wheel cut by prehistoric\u00a0hands. Actually, the font is rather similar to the <a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Croods_RatedPosterFinal.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">logo of DreamWorks'\u00a0<em>The Croods<\/em><\/a>, which came out in 2013, that featured a similar stone-age setting. The new logo ditches the former brown and green color palette, opting for a clean, simple and monochromatic white font. Also, the underline, which was prominent in the previous logo, has been pared down to just highlight just the first word \"the.\"\r\n<h3>Old Logos<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23878\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo-1024x620.png\" alt=\"the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\" width=\"640\" height=\"388\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThis first logo was revealed nearly three years ago at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/05\/31\/the-good-dinosaur-creators-finally-give-more-details-about-the-film\/\" target=\"_blank\">CinemaCon in 2012<\/a>. At the time, the film was still untitled as was known as <em>The\u00a0Untitled\u00a0Pixar Movie about Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>and was still slated for a May 2014 release.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23879\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe updated logo, which featured the official title\u00a0<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>, was released in February 2013. Less than six months later, it would be discovered that director Bob Peterson had been removed from the\u00a0project and\u00a0the film had been pushed back nearly a year and a half.\r\n<h3>New Concept Art<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-concept-art-arlo-and-spot\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23876\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot-1024x650.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot\" width=\"640\" height=\"406\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nNow this is what we're talking about! Also accompanying the preview kit was this stunning concept art showing\u00a0Arlo, the Apatosaurus, and his human companion as they overlook a breathtaking forest and mountain landscape. The piece is painterly, featuring heavy brush stokes, and seems to be set during the Fall. It will be interesting to learn in what part of the film this scene takes place once it's\u00a0released.\r\n\r\nPlot synopsis:\r\n<blockquote>The Good Dinosaur\u201d asks the generations-old question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?\u00a0 In theaters November 25, 2015, the film is a humorous and exciting original story about Arlo, a lively Apatosaurus with a big heart.\u00a0 After a traumatic event unsettles Arlo\u2019s family, he sets out on a remarkable journey, gaining an unlikely companion along the way \u2013 a human boy.\u00a0 \u201cThe Good Dinosaur\u201d is an extraordinary journey of self-discovery full of thrilling adventure, hilarious characters and poignant heart.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em> hits theatres November 25, 2015.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">What do you think of the new logo and concept art for\u00a0<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>?<\/h3>","post_title":"Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' Evolves with New Logo & Concept Art","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-30 16:52:19","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-30 23:52:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23875","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"7","filter":"raw"},{"ID":23749,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-12-19 11:22:01","post_date_gmt":"2014-12-19 18:22:01","post_content":"Tyler Perry is making his first foray into family\u00a0animation with the release of<strong><em>\u00a0Tyler Perry's Madea's Tough Love<\/em><\/strong>, which will be available\u00a0on DVD on January 20 and Digital HD\u00a0on January 13.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00OPNQ66K\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00OPNQ66K&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=2YZEIUBZI67SWK43\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23755\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/MadeaToughLove_DVD_Ocard_3DSkew-831x1024.jpg\" alt=\"MadeaToughLove_DVD_Ocard_3DSkew\" width=\"347\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a>The film is a family-friendly adventure, which is exactly why Tyler Perry choose animation to present this new chapter in the\u00a0<em>Madea<\/em> series.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint. We get an in-depth interview with the artists who worked on the technology piece, which was\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-7-1024x714.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-7\" width=\"640\" height=\"446\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4-1024x711.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4\" width=\"640\" height=\"445\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a character and concept-driven art book, then this might not be your style; however, if you are interested in breaking down the creation of one of Miyazaki's greatest works, then\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>is right up your alley.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\r\n<h3>Purchase<\/h3>\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1421565978\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1421565978&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=RSCIXSP5MQJJA7GT\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/book\/9781421565972\/?a_aid=Rotoscopers\" target=\"_blank\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sCCF_-KxTuo\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> ","post_title":"[ART BOOK REVIEW] The Art of Princess Mononoke","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"art-book-review-the-art-of-princess-mononoke","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-11-14 20:54:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-11-15 03:54:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=20454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"6","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":28},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_24082_4_691e6d0289032 jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 28 of 79</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="27" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/27/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='27' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/27/'>27</a> <span class='page_number active'>28</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='29' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/29/'>29</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='79' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/79/'>79</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="29" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/29/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \r\n<p>Welcome to the Animation Addicts Best of 2014 show!

However,\u00a0now that we are less that a year away from the film's November 2015 release, Pixar\u00a0surprised us with a snazzy new logo, in addition to some new concept art.\r\n<h3>New Logo<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-logo-new\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23877\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New\" width=\"640\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe new logo was revealed in the 2015 Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture preview kit. The new logo is reminiscent of the most recent logo, but with a simplified twist. The font is asymmetrical and rough around the edges, giving the impression of a crude wheel cut by prehistoric\u00a0hands. Actually, the font is rather similar to the <a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Croods_RatedPosterFinal.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">logo of DreamWorks'\u00a0<em>The Croods<\/em><\/a>, which came out in 2013, that featured a similar stone-age setting. The new logo ditches the former brown and green color palette, opting for a clean, simple and monochromatic white font. Also, the underline, which was prominent in the previous logo, has been pared down to just highlight just the first word \"the.\"\r\n<h3>Old Logos<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23878\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo-1024x620.png\" alt=\"the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\" width=\"640\" height=\"388\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThis first logo was revealed nearly three years ago at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/05\/31\/the-good-dinosaur-creators-finally-give-more-details-about-the-film\/\" target=\"_blank\">CinemaCon in 2012<\/a>. At the time, the film was still untitled as was known as <em>The\u00a0Untitled\u00a0Pixar Movie about Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>and was still slated for a May 2014 release.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23879\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe updated logo, which featured the official title\u00a0<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>, was released in February 2013. Less than six months later, it would be discovered that director Bob Peterson had been removed from the\u00a0project and\u00a0the film had been pushed back nearly a year and a half.\r\n<h3>New Concept Art<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-concept-art-arlo-and-spot\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23876\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot-1024x650.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot\" width=\"640\" height=\"406\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nNow this is what we're talking about! Also accompanying the preview kit was this stunning concept art showing\u00a0Arlo, the Apatosaurus, and his human companion as they overlook a breathtaking forest and mountain landscape. The piece is painterly, featuring heavy brush stokes, and seems to be set during the Fall. It will be interesting to learn in what part of the film this scene takes place once it's\u00a0released.\r\n\r\nPlot synopsis:\r\n<blockquote>The Good Dinosaur\u201d asks the generations-old question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?\u00a0 In theaters November 25, 2015, the film is a humorous and exciting original story about Arlo, a lively Apatosaurus with a big heart.\u00a0 After a traumatic event unsettles Arlo\u2019s family, he sets out on a remarkable journey, gaining an unlikely companion along the way \u2013 a human boy.\u00a0 \u201cThe Good Dinosaur\u201d is an extraordinary journey of self-discovery full of thrilling adventure, hilarious characters and poignant heart.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em> hits theatres November 25, 2015.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">What do you think of the new logo and concept art for\u00a0<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>?<\/h3>","post_title":"Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' Evolves with New Logo & Concept Art","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-30 16:52:19","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-30 23:52:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23875","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"7","filter":"raw"},{"ID":23749,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-12-19 11:22:01","post_date_gmt":"2014-12-19 18:22:01","post_content":"Tyler Perry is making his first foray into family\u00a0animation with the release of<strong><em>\u00a0Tyler Perry's Madea's Tough Love<\/em><\/strong>, which will be available\u00a0on DVD on January 20 and Digital HD\u00a0on January 13.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00OPNQ66K\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00OPNQ66K&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=2YZEIUBZI67SWK43\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23755\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/MadeaToughLove_DVD_Ocard_3DSkew-831x1024.jpg\" alt=\"MadeaToughLove_DVD_Ocard_3DSkew\" width=\"347\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a>The film is a family-friendly adventure, which is exactly why Tyler Perry choose animation to present this new chapter in the\u00a0<em>Madea<\/em> series.

The trio will have to\u00a0find the missing pieces and fix the Shrinkinator, all the while evading the clutches of a maniacal Mosquito, her devious daughter and a whole host of evil underlings.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xr2jwmg_HCU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>The trailer has no words, but still clearly and succinctly depicts the main points of the show. Also, for an animated TV show, the animation is quite impressive: fluid, smooth, vibrant. Zak reminds me a lot of Wilbur from <em>Meet the Robinsons<\/em>.\u00a0Color me impressed with this one.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint. We get an in-depth interview with the artists who worked on the technology piece, which was\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20589\"

alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4\" width=\"640\" height=\"445\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a character and concept-driven art book, then this might not be your style; however, if you are interested in breaking down the creation of one of Miyazaki's greatest works, then\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>is right up your

However,\u00a0now that we are less that a year away from the film's November 2015 release, Pixar\u00a0surprised us with a snazzy new logo, in addition to some new concept art.\r\n<h3>New Logo<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-logo-new\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23877\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New\" width=\"640\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe new logo was revealed in the 2015 Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture preview kit. The new logo is reminiscent of the most recent logo, but with a simplified twist. The font is asymmetrical and rough around the edges, giving the impression of a crude wheel cut by prehistoric\u00a0hands. Actually, the font is rather similar to the <a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Croods_RatedPosterFinal.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">logo of DreamWorks'\u00a0<em>The Croods<\/em><\/a>, which came out in 2013, that featured a similar stone-age setting. The new logo ditches the former brown and green color palette, opting for a clean, simple and monochromatic white font. Also, the underline, which was prominent in the previous logo, has been pared down to just highlight just the first word \"the.\"\r\n<h3>Old Logos<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23878\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo-1024x620.png\" alt=\"the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\" width=\"640\" height=\"388\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThis first logo was revealed nearly three years ago at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/05\/31\/the-good-dinosaur-creators-finally-give-more-details-about-the-film\/\" target=\"_blank\">CinemaCon in 2012<\/a>. At the time, the film was still untitled as was known as <em>The\u00a0Untitled\u00a0Pixar Movie about Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>and was still slated for a May 2014 release.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23879\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe updated logo, which featured the official title\u00a0<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>, was released in February 2013. Less than six months later, it would be discovered that director Bob Peterson had been removed from the\u00a0project and\u00a0the film had been pushed back nearly a year and a half.\r\n<h3>New Concept Art<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-concept-art-arlo-and-spot\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23876\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot-1024x650.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot\" width=\"640\" height=\"406\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nNow this is what we're talking about! Also accompanying the preview kit was this stunning concept art showing\u00a0Arlo, the Apatosaurus, and his human companion as they overlook a breathtaking forest and mountain landscape. The piece is painterly, featuring heavy brush stokes, and seems to be set during the Fall.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint. We get an in-depth interview with the artists who worked on the technology piece, which was\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20589\"

alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4\" width=\"640\" height=\"445\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a character and concept-driven art book, then this might not be your style; however, if you are interested in breaking down the creation of one of Miyazaki's greatest works, then\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>is right up your

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint. We get an in-depth interview with the artists who worked on the technology piece, which was\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-7-1024x714.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-7\" width=\"640\" height=\"446\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4-1024x711.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4\" width=\"640\" height=\"445\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a character and concept-driven art book, then this might not be your style; however, if you are interested in breaking down the creation of one of Miyazaki's greatest works, then\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>is right up your alley.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\r\n<h3>Purchase<\/h3>\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1421565978\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1421565978&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=RSCIXSP5MQJJA7GT\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/book\/9781421565972\/?a_aid=Rotoscopers\" target=\"_blank\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sCCF_-KxTuo\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> ","post_title":"[ART BOOK REVIEW] The Art of Princess Mononoke","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"art-book-review-the-art-of-princess-mononoke","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-11-14 20:54:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-11-15 03:54:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=20454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"6","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":28},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_24082_4_691e6d0289032 jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 28 of 79</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="27" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/27/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='27' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/27/'>27</a> <span class='page_number active'>28</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='29' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/29/'>29</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='79' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/79/'>79</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="29" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/29/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=ADV5779926499&light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\r\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Main Discussion:\u00a0<em>Mickey's Christmas Carol\u00a0<\/em>(1983)<\/li>\r\n<li>One of\u00a0<em>many<\/em> adaptations of Dicken's <em>Christmas Carol<\/em>.<\/li>\r\n<li>Lots and lots of cameos.

The story follows\u00a0the adventures of a young boy named Zak, a crazy old man Gramps, and three bio-mechanically enhanced insects as they search to find pieces of the \u2018Shrinkinator\u2019 - the crazy invention that shrunk our heroes before exploding during a failed testing phase. The trio will have to\u00a0find the missing pieces and fix the Shrinkinator, all the while evading the clutches of a maniacal Mosquito, her devious daughter and a whole host of evil underlings.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xr2jwmg_HCU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>The trailer has no words, but still clearly and succinctly depicts the main points of the show. Also, for an animated TV show, the animation is quite impressive: fluid, smooth, vibrant. Zak reminds me a lot of Wilbur from <em>Meet the Robinsons<\/em>.\u00a0Color me impressed with this one. I'll be interested to see more of this show as it comes closer to release.\r\n\r\nThe CEO of One Animation Sashim Parmanand commented on <em>The Insectibles<\/em>' quality saying,\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re committed to developing TV and film content for animation fans around the world who want the highest quality CGI combined with classically brilliant story-telling and comedic endearing characters.\u201d\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/04\/check-out-the-first-trailer-for-the-insectibles-a-new-tv-series-coming-in-2015\/the-insectibles-trailer-still-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23444\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-insectibles-trailer-still-2-1024x535.png\" alt=\"the-insectibles-trailer-still-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"335\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe release of this trailer\u00a0back in October was followed by the animation house\u2019s announcement at MIPCOM that it will be co-producing <em>The Insectibles\u00a0<\/em>full series with ZDF, one of Europe\u2019s largest broadcasters as well as premiering the series on free-to-air German channel KiKA.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint.

The trio will have to\u00a0find the missing pieces and fix the Shrinkinator, all the while evading the clutches of a maniacal Mosquito, her devious daughter and a whole host of evil underlings.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xr2jwmg_HCU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>The trailer has no words, but still clearly and succinctly depicts the main points of the show. Also, for an animated TV show, the animation is quite impressive: fluid, smooth, vibrant. Zak reminds me a lot of Wilbur from <em>Meet the Robinsons<\/em>.\u00a0Color me impressed with this one.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint.

However,\u00a0now that we are less that a year away from the film's November 2015 release, Pixar\u00a0surprised us with a snazzy new logo, in addition to some new concept art.\r\n<h3>New Logo<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-logo-new\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23877\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New\" width=\"640\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe new logo was revealed in the 2015 Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture preview kit. The new logo is reminiscent of the most recent logo, but with a simplified twist. The font is asymmetrical and rough around the edges, giving the impression of a crude wheel cut by prehistoric\u00a0hands. Actually, the font is rather similar to the <a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Croods_RatedPosterFinal.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">logo of DreamWorks'\u00a0<em>The Croods<\/em><\/a>, which came out in 2013, that featured a similar stone-age setting. The new logo ditches the former brown and green color palette, opting for a clean, simple and monochromatic white font. Also, the underline, which was prominent in the previous logo, has been pared down to just highlight just the first word \"the.\"\r\n<h3>Old Logos<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23878\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo-1024x620.png\" alt=\"the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\" width=\"640\" height=\"388\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThis first logo was revealed nearly three years ago at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/05\/31\/the-good-dinosaur-creators-finally-give-more-details-about-the-film\/\" target=\"_blank\">CinemaCon in 2012<\/a>. At the time, the film was still untitled as was known as <em>The\u00a0Untitled\u00a0Pixar Movie about Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>and was still slated for a May 2014 release.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23879\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe updated logo, which featured the official title\u00a0<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>, was released in February 2013. Less than six months later, it would be discovered that director Bob Peterson had been removed from the\u00a0project and\u00a0the film had been pushed back nearly a year and a half.\r\n<h3>New Concept Art<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-concept-art-arlo-and-spot\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23876\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot-1024x650.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot\" width=\"640\" height=\"406\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nNow this is what we're talking about! Also accompanying the preview kit was this stunning concept art showing\u00a0Arlo, the Apatosaurus, and his human companion as they overlook a breathtaking forest and mountain landscape. The piece is painterly, featuring heavy brush stokes, and seems to be set during the Fall. It will be interesting to learn in what part of the film this scene takes place once it's\u00a0released.\r\n\r\nPlot synopsis:\r\n<blockquote>The Good Dinosaur\u201d asks the generations-old question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?\u00a0 In theaters November 25, 2015, the film is a humorous and exciting original story about Arlo, a lively Apatosaurus with a big heart.\u00a0 After a traumatic event unsettles Arlo\u2019s family, he sets out on a remarkable journey, gaining an unlikely companion along the way \u2013 a human boy.\u00a0 \u201cThe Good Dinosaur\u201d is an extraordinary journey of self-discovery full of thrilling adventure, hilarious characters and poignant heart.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em> hits theatres November 25, 2015.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">What do you think of the new logo and concept art for\u00a0<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>?<\/h3>","post_title":"Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' Evolves with New Logo & Concept Art","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-30 16:52:19","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-30 23:52:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23875","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"7","filter":"raw"},{"ID":23749,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-12-19 11:22:01","post_date_gmt":"2014-12-19 18:22:01","post_content":"Tyler Perry is making his first foray into family\u00a0animation with the release of<strong><em>\u00a0Tyler Perry's Madea's Tough Love<\/em><\/strong>, which will be available\u00a0on DVD on January 20 and Digital HD\u00a0on January 13.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00OPNQ66K\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00OPNQ66K&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=2YZEIUBZI67SWK43\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23755\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/MadeaToughLove_DVD_Ocard_3DSkew-831x1024.jpg\" alt=\"MadeaToughLove_DVD_Ocard_3DSkew\" width=\"347\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a>The film is a family-friendly adventure, which is exactly why Tyler Perry choose animation to present this new chapter in the\u00a0<em>Madea<\/em> series.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint. We get an in-depth interview with the artists who worked on the technology piece, which was\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-7-1024x714.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-7\" width=\"640\" height=\"446\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4-1024x711.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4\" width=\"640\" height=\"445\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a character and concept-driven art book, then this might not be your style; however, if you are interested in breaking down the creation of one of Miyazaki's greatest works, then\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>is right up your alley.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\r\n<h3>Purchase<\/h3>\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1421565978\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1421565978&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=RSCIXSP5MQJJA7GT\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/book\/9781421565972\/?a_aid=Rotoscopers\" target=\"_blank\">Book Depository<\/a>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sCCF_-KxTuo\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> ","post_title":"[ART BOOK REVIEW] The Art of Princess Mononoke","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"art-book-review-the-art-of-princess-mononoke","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-11-14 20:54:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-11-15 03:54:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=20454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"6","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":28},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"jnews_block_5"};</script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-100774e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jnews_archive_pagination_elementor" data-id="100774e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="jnews_archive_pagination_elementor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="jeg_navigation jeg_pagination jeg_col_3o3 jnews_module_24082_4_691e6d0289032 jeg_pagenav_1 jeg_aligncenter no_pageinfo"> <span class="page_info">Page 28 of 79</span> <a class="page_nav prev" data-id="27" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/27/"><span class="navtext">Previous</span></a> <a class='page_number' data-id='1' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/'>1</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='27' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/27/'>27</a> <span class='page_number active'>28</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='29' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/29/'>29</a> <span class="page_number dots">…</span> <a class='page_number' data-id='79' href='https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/79/'>79</a> <a class="page_nav next" data-id="29" href="https://www.rotoscopers.com/author/morgan-stradling/page/29/"><span class="navtext">Next</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca773c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ca773c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \r\n<p>Welcome to the Animation Addicts Best of 2014 show!

However,\u00a0now that we are less that a year away from the film's November 2015 release, Pixar\u00a0surprised us with a snazzy new logo, in addition to some new concept art.\r\n<h3>New Logo<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-logo-new\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23877\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New\" width=\"640\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe new logo was revealed in the 2015 Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture preview kit. The new logo is reminiscent of the most recent logo, but with a simplified twist. The font is asymmetrical and rough around the edges, giving the impression of a crude wheel cut by prehistoric\u00a0hands. Actually, the font is rather similar to the <a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Croods_RatedPosterFinal.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">logo of DreamWorks'\u00a0<em>The Croods<\/em><\/a>, which came out in 2013, that featured a similar stone-age setting. The new logo ditches the former brown and green color palette, opting for a clean, simple and monochromatic white font. Also, the underline, which was prominent in the previous logo, has been pared down to just highlight just the first word \"the.\"\r\n<h3>Old Logos<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23878\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo-1024x620.png\" alt=\"the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\" width=\"640\" height=\"388\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThis first logo was revealed nearly three years ago at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/05\/31\/the-good-dinosaur-creators-finally-give-more-details-about-the-film\/\" target=\"_blank\">CinemaCon in 2012<\/a>. At the time, the film was still untitled as was known as <em>The\u00a0Untitled\u00a0Pixar Movie about Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>and was still slated for a May 2014 release.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23879\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe updated logo, which featured the official title\u00a0<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>, was released in February 2013. Less than six months later, it would be discovered that director Bob Peterson had been removed from the\u00a0project and\u00a0the film had been pushed back nearly a year and a half.\r\n<h3>New Concept Art<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-concept-art-arlo-and-spot\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23876\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot-1024x650.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot\" width=\"640\" height=\"406\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nNow this is what we're talking about! Also accompanying the preview kit was this stunning concept art showing\u00a0Arlo, the Apatosaurus, and his human companion as they overlook a breathtaking forest and mountain landscape. The piece is painterly, featuring heavy brush stokes, and seems to be set during the Fall. It will be interesting to learn in what part of the film this scene takes place once it's\u00a0released.\r\n\r\nPlot synopsis:\r\n<blockquote>The Good Dinosaur\u201d asks the generations-old question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?\u00a0 In theaters November 25, 2015, the film is a humorous and exciting original story about Arlo, a lively Apatosaurus with a big heart.\u00a0 After a traumatic event unsettles Arlo\u2019s family, he sets out on a remarkable journey, gaining an unlikely companion along the way \u2013 a human boy.\u00a0 \u201cThe Good Dinosaur\u201d is an extraordinary journey of self-discovery full of thrilling adventure, hilarious characters and poignant heart.<\/blockquote>\r\n<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em> hits theatres November 25, 2015.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">What do you think of the new logo and concept art for\u00a0<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>?<\/h3>","post_title":"Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' Evolves with New Logo & Concept Art","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-12-30 16:52:19","post_modified_gmt":"2014-12-30 23:52:19","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=23875","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"7","filter":"raw"},{"ID":23749,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2014-12-19 11:22:01","post_date_gmt":"2014-12-19 18:22:01","post_content":"Tyler Perry is making his first foray into family\u00a0animation with the release of<strong><em>\u00a0Tyler Perry's Madea's Tough Love<\/em><\/strong>, which will be available\u00a0on DVD on January 20 and Digital HD\u00a0on January 13.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00OPNQ66K\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00OPNQ66K&linkCode=as2&tag=therotos-20&linkId=2YZEIUBZI67SWK43\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23755\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/MadeaToughLove_DVD_Ocard_3DSkew-831x1024.jpg\" alt=\"MadeaToughLove_DVD_Ocard_3DSkew\" width=\"347\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a>The film is a family-friendly adventure, which is exactly why Tyler Perry choose animation to present this new chapter in the\u00a0<em>Madea<\/em> series.

The trio will have to\u00a0find the missing pieces and fix the Shrinkinator, all the while evading the clutches of a maniacal Mosquito, her devious daughter and a whole host of evil underlings.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xr2jwmg_HCU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>The trailer has no words, but still clearly and succinctly depicts the main points of the show. Also, for an animated TV show, the animation is quite impressive: fluid, smooth, vibrant. Zak reminds me a lot of Wilbur from <em>Meet the Robinsons<\/em>.\u00a0Color me impressed with this one.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint. We get an in-depth interview with the artists who worked on the technology piece, which was\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20589\"

alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4\" width=\"640\" height=\"445\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a character and concept-driven art book, then this might not be your style; however, if you are interested in breaking down the creation of one of Miyazaki's greatest works, then\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>is right up your

However,\u00a0now that we are less that a year away from the film's November 2015 release, Pixar\u00a0surprised us with a snazzy new logo, in addition to some new concept art.\r\n<h3>New Logo<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-logo-new\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23877\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Logo-New\" width=\"640\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe new logo was revealed in the 2015 Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture preview kit. The new logo is reminiscent of the most recent logo, but with a simplified twist. The font is asymmetrical and rough around the edges, giving the impression of a crude wheel cut by prehistoric\u00a0hands. Actually, the font is rather similar to the <a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Croods_RatedPosterFinal.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">logo of DreamWorks'\u00a0<em>The Croods<\/em><\/a>, which came out in 2013, that featured a similar stone-age setting. The new logo ditches the former brown and green color palette, opting for a clean, simple and monochromatic white font. Also, the underline, which was prominent in the previous logo, has been pared down to just highlight just the first word \"the.\"\r\n<h3>Old Logos<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23878\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinosaur-original-logo-1024x620.png\" alt=\"the-good-dinosaur-original-logo\" width=\"640\" height=\"388\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThis first logo was revealed nearly three years ago at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2012\/05\/31\/the-good-dinosaur-creators-finally-give-more-details-about-the-film\/\" target=\"_blank\">CinemaCon in 2012<\/a>. At the time, the film was still untitled as was known as <em>The\u00a0Untitled\u00a0Pixar Movie about Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>and was still slated for a May 2014 release.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23879\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the-good-dinsoaur-logo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe updated logo, which featured the official title\u00a0<em>The Good Dinosaur<\/em>, was released in February 2013. Less than six months later, it would be discovered that director Bob Peterson had been removed from the\u00a0project and\u00a0the film had been pushed back nearly a year and a half.\r\n<h3>New Concept Art<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2014\/12\/30\/pixars-the-good-dinosaur-evolves-with-new-logo-concept-art\/the-good-dinosaur-concept-art-arlo-and-spot\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23876\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot-1024x650.jpg\" alt=\"The-Good-Dinosaur-Concept-Art-Arlo-and-Spot\" width=\"640\" height=\"406\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nNow this is what we're talking about! Also accompanying the preview kit was this stunning concept art showing\u00a0Arlo, the Apatosaurus, and his human companion as they overlook a breathtaking forest and mountain landscape. The piece is painterly, featuring heavy brush stokes, and seems to be set during the Fall.

You're going to see less development and concept art and more final designs and screenshots. That being said, these book are just as interesting, especially when it comes <em>The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\n<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> scene by scene. So if a character is introduced in that scene, we will get some art regarding the development of that character. You'll be surprised to see\u00a0more background paintings than character sketches. Also, over half of the book includes final cells and screenshots of the film, which is something rare in other art books. With this book,\u00a0you don't need to even watch the movie because it takes you through the movie on near frame-by-frame level.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-5\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe sketches and other art in the book is presented in a very uniform art style with much being directly from Miyazaki himself. Since Japan is more of a collective culture that the US, it makes sense that the styles of the individual artists are not highlighted, but rather the final cumulative effort.\r\n\r\nOne thing I'm always impressed with Studio Ghibli art book is the inclusion of obscure items. For example, In <em>The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke <\/em>we get poems written by\u00a0Miyazaki\u00a0about each character, which he then gave to the composer to help him develop the score. We also get the 'Hayao Miyazaki Layout Collection', which includes pages and pages of each storyboard directly from the hand of Miyazaki himself. Lastly, we get a production diary, which is a day-by-day breakdown of what happened during the entire production of the film.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-8\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/>\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0<em>Princess Mononoke<\/em> was the studio's first film to use CGI on a grand scale, there were a lot of new techniques that they had to use and explore from texturing and mapping to morphing and digital ink and paint. We get an in-depth interview with the artists who worked on the technology piece, which was\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20589\"

alt=\"the-art-of-princess-mononoke-photo-4\" width=\"640\" height=\"445\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a character and concept-driven art book, then this might not be your style; however, if you are interested in breaking down the creation of one of Miyazaki's greatest works, then\u00a0<em>The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>is right up your
