Imagi Internal Newsletter

copyright © imagi studios all rights reserved.

The 1st issue of the Imagi Magazine released !

This is the cover of
"Pipline", the internal Newsletter of Imagi studios. But I think it more looks like a magazine. This is bi-lingo, with Chinese and English. Images of AstroBoy and Gatchaman is not from the movie, those are designed for internal/marketing teaser only. I like the cover a lot, i like the Mascot sculpture feeling a lot...and the heading of hard copy is printed in sliver, it looks very good even though we forgot the Spot UV coating on Astroboy and G-1.

Gatchaman Live Action Movie Promo


Tatsunoko 在較早前宣佈由日本「日活公司」宣布將拍攝 Gatchaman 真人版電影這是2007年暑假時侯發表的宣傳海報! 看到這個心口的 Gatchaman Logo真是有點心酸。樣子很"薯炳"啊... 另外Yatterman 小雙俠真人版也正在拍攝中, 預告片也可以按此觀看... 不過也是有點嚇人

究竟
「Gatchaman」真人版的是否仍在2009年初推出 ? 好想知道...

Typography in Motion

Astroboy Papercut


最近對中國的剪紙很感興趣,用 AstroBoy 來做個小測

Aboy vs Gman



Just found them separately.... both looks strange to me. A car with sticker like this does not look good.
這些動畫圖案放在車上總是格格不入的... 不過假如在街上看到這樣的車
還是會很興奮。如果以上兩者比較,我較喜歡Gatchaman的那款,AstroBoy 的貼紙大小和位置實在太.....不過要比較還是以下的比較盡D...


I was so impressed when I saw this Pekmon Beetle in LA at 2000.

Bjork New MV- Wanderlust

冰島歌后 Björk 最新 MV - Wanderlust終於推出! visual 好正,真人 + 模型+ CG,令很耳目一新的風格,也很有童畫FEEL!!
This is Björk's new music video “Wanderlust” hit the web recently I like the look a lot, very unique 3D style... Over a year in the making with a massive crew. It is directed by Encyclopedia Pictura (on Ghost Robot’s roster) with post-production handled by UVPHACTORY, the experience feels more like a short film than a simple music video.

“Wanderlust” premiered on March 12th and was originally intended to be viewed in anaglyphic 3D. There will apparently be details about how to get free 3D glasses on Bjork’s site.

You can also check the making-of video below:

TMNT > Astroboy

There is a new article from Ninjatron at his AstroBoy world blog talk about TMNT, imagi and Astroboy, there is a really encouraging article to me and the crew here.


"March 23rd, 2007 was a big day for
Ninja Turtles fans and animation enthusiasts, as TMNT was released to theaters in North America and elsewhere around the world. It was the very first feature-length film from Imagi Animation Studios, who are, of course, set to bring AstroBoy to cinemas in 2009. I am a HUGE fan of the Turtles, and have been since I first became aware of their existence, so I was definitely looking forward to this movie when it was announced. Not only did I enjoy the film immensely for what it was when I saw it on its release date, I also saw it as an important step towards the future of animated film making, which is where our boy Astro comes in.

Not only does TMNT look spectacular, with its use of colors, textures, and lighting, but if one takes into account how the budget of this film is a meager fraction of a comparable animated movie from a company like Pixar, then Imagi's achievements with this movie are even more incredible. The aspect of the film that I thought was best realized was the attention paid to the backgrounds. The scenery itself had a very lived-in feeling and truly captured what I would expect the TMNT universe to look like. Obviously there are some talented artists and animators working at Imagi, and they clearly know how to construct a world that contains unbelievable characters and situations in a believable and visually appealing setting......
As a fan of animated films and classic anime characters, it makes me happy to know that the AstroBoy movie is being handled by Imagi, who did an amazing job in capturing the spirit of the Ninja Turtles. AstroBoy is a story that is not only historically important, but also has a unique spirit of its own to be captured as well. Time will tell if the AstroBoy movie will live up to the legacy of the title character, but judging from TMNT, I am more than willing to give Imagi the benefit of the doubt.
And while I'm looking forward to AstroBoy, I'll also be hoping for another Turtles movie!
