In fact, every time I talk about 'anime cinematography', it actually really boils down to the storyboarding (as you have mentioned) how the camera pans, the angles of the shots etc which in turn works to accentuate the mood of the scene or the theme of the series. This, I believe, is the basis of art in animation. :) Evirus: LOL! I suppose it's hard to plan ahead when one's plot has to react to gunpla sales. :P IKnight: Indeed, it'd be interesting to see the production of 'original' anime. Although I've noticed that many of the original series have their directors as co-writers. That would solve more than just a few interfacing or concept dilution issues. After all, a scene envisioned by a script-writer could be very wrongly translated into 2D by the animators and in that losing its very thrust. I suppose that's why the director is around to hold everything together :) flaskis: Heh, I'm very much guilty of it myself. For example despite their H20s and rental magicas, I've still a staunch supporter of ZEXCS and am catching Wagaya no oinarasama. However, I'm further assured by the involvement of Yoshida Reiko who worked on Angelic Layer (script) and Scrapped Princess (script supervisor) and directed by Iwasaki Yoshiaki who was the director for Sky Girls and Love Hina and Zero no Tsukaima (S1). Notice that even though it's a ZEXCS production, the series composer is respected by me for her work in BONES production and the director for JC Staff involvement. That's how fluid the anime production industry is I suppose and looking at studios alone may not be an accurate a gauge as the talent behind them. :) jpmeyer: Ah ic... that's probably explain why 'producers' seem to have more bearing than 'director' in TV series' credits :) Hashihime: Thanks for highlighting the storyboarder.
