<\/a>\r\n\r\nBack in October, One Animation released a trailer heralding the arrival of its new ground-breaking animated 3D TV series The Insectibles<\/strong><\/em>.\r\n\r\nThis is a story we've been meaning to write about for a while because it's an interesting TV concept, backed by beautiful cinema-quality animation. 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
<\/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 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.

<\/a>\r\n\r\nStudio Ghilbi art books take you on a different reading experience than most animation art books. 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 The Art of Princess Mononoke<\/em>,\u00a0 the art book for Miyazaki's cinematic masterpiece.\r\n\r\nThe Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>chronologically follows the story of\u00a0Princess 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
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\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 The Art of The Wind Rises<\/em> we got the full English script. In\u00a0The 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
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nThere is a chapter that is unusual for a Studio Ghibli art book called 'CG: All About Digital Imaging'. Since\u00a0Princess 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
\r\n\r\n
\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\u00a0The Art of Princess Mononoke\u00a0<\/em>is right up your alley.\r\n\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\r\n
