That's a real dedication to his craft, and you can see that attention to detail in his artwork, and his love of cars and machines. His best achievement in this field, I think, was on Lupin III. His technical realism was a high watermark in anime.<br /><br />Two scenes always stand out for me: the animation test administered by Toei Doga (the man striking a nail with a hammer), and Otsuka's classroom lesson many years later, where students draw a person diving into a pool.<br /><br />This is an essential movie because Otsuka makes animation seem FUN. He makes it look like play, like the easiest thing in the world. That is the mark of a master teacher.<br /><br />Yasuo Otsuka's Joy in Motion absolutely must be brought to the West. It's the finest movie ever made about the animation artform.Daniel Thomas MacInneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01406180871529775448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-72876920717516325532010-03-08T19:06:34.741-06:002010-03-08T19:06:34.741-06:00Watched it last night and really enjoyed it.
