A video of someone flipping through a book that was put together for an exhibition called Proto Anime Cut. It features:
1. Imageboards, backgrounds, designs and an excerpt from the storyboard for Dimension Bomb by Koji Morimoto. Also some images from Extra.
2. Takashi Watabe’s designs and layouts for various films like GitS Innocence and Eva 2.0.
3. Photos by Haruhiko Higami. I didn’t know who he was but he took “concept photos” that helped define the look of most of Oshii’s films as well as Wings of Honneamise. I recognize the setting from Patlabor 2. I think he always work with Hiromasa Ogura. Awesome stuff.
4. Lots and lots of backgrounds by Hiromasa Ogura. His drawings gets more pages than anything else in the book. The focus seems to be his theatrical work so nothing from FLCL or Dead Leaves. Or Strike Witches for that matter.
5. Concept photos and layouts for Eva 2.0. All done by Hideaki Anno presumably. I really love those photos.
I’m going to get this book.
