Kodansha has published today the third and final volume that collects a huge amount of layouts, original drawings, and corrections from Otomo's personal collection used in the production of the anime version of AKIRA.
The layout is a drawing that has the information (such as art setting, background and character movement) of each scene of the film and serves as a blueprint to draw the animation. The animation director, the art director and the director Otomo, were involved in the creation of this layouts. The selected ones included in this book are mostly drawn by Otomo himself. In addition to those original drawings, replicas of the cels and background art that made into the final photography of the film are also collected in this book.
The film AKIRA was divided in four parts during production: A, B C and D. Animation AKIRA Layouts & Key Frames 3 (Volume 25 of OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS) collects the material selected by Otomo from his personal collection of parts C (continued from previous volume 24) and the final part D.
