I'm not an animator by discipline, but as a lighting/compositing artist, cinematography is an integral part of my work. Good composition differentiates a good shot from a GREAT shot. Case in point ? Just look at the layouts from Ghost In The Shell - https://t.co/wAWtC10TUL
Montage panels from the stupendous Akira Art Of Wall art book ( 2019 ). See more in my review - https://t.co/nkxrDjdeSd #artbook #illustration #manga #comics #大友克洋
The creature/character design legacy of the late Yasushi Nirasawa can really be appreciated in his Blood Of Nira's Creature art book (2017). Explore more in my review 韮沢靖追悼画集 - https://t.co/qFdlzttaa8 #artbook #illustration #characterdesign #韮沢靖
There's also the 2 volume manga adaptation, illustrated by Takeshi Obata of DeathNote fame - https://t.co/0G8TR5oDwt #manga #comics #小畑健
I just added the cover art for Vol.15 ( image on left ) of the Atom : The Beginning manga by @tetsurokasahara to the full list I collated earlier in May - https://t.co/L5NojQ51DO He also has an upcoming art book, which I'll pick up once it's in stock - https://t.co/lMmAu8KHFp

Otomo's insanely strong cinematic vision is manifestly clear when you look at how tight his storyboard drawings compare to the finished shots in the film. The storyboard books are a veritable treasure trove on how he composed his shots - https://t.co/5gApwv3uW6
One of the most unintentionally funny Amazon reviews I've ever read was one left for the Ghost In The Shell genga/layout book (2014), where the reviewer commented that it was a "half-a**ed coloring book, most of the drawings are incomplete" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - https://t.co/4rXLLv7bUm
Heads up - a 650 pages whopper of an art book will be released on Dec 2nd collecting layouts+genga from Katsuhiro Otomo's AKIRA, as part of Complete Works. This new book will be like a jumbo edition of the Akira Animation Archives (2002 - image below) - https://t.co/qqLsxpNF0n
One of the many reasons why Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira manga is so visually impactful is because of the cinematic framing & composition. Otomo is as much a film director/cinematographer as he is a manga artist - https://t.co/tIhqt3L6gY
Not entirely convinced the storyboards that Otomo drew for Akira are detailed enough, I mean look at this shoddy work... 🤣😂 Just teasing of course ! My review for the storyboard book ( Vol 1 ) is almost done. You can also just grab a copy here - https://t.co/JZIKUt83AV
My treasured ( and very yellowed out ) Akira storyboard books, first published back in 1988. Every frame is a work of art. Also, Kodansha should really consider a reprint of these as they would still sell like hotcakes アキラ絵コンテ集 - https://t.co/ipIjvRp1zO #anime #animation
ICYMI - A whole book dedicated to the detailed concept art sketches by Mitsuo Iso ( Denno Coil ) for anime films like Ghost In The Shell, Magnetic Rose, Roujin Z, Evangelion, MS Gundam & more. See more in my review - https://t.co/EDV5W53Gmu
Katsuhiro Otomo's highly acclaimed manga Domu : A Child's Dream is given a much needed renewal with this fantastic new edition from the Otomo The Complete Works. Read more in my review 童夢 大友克洋全集 コミック レビュー - https://t.co/Ze89Iky97J #manga #comics #blauereview
