Unable to afford a light box or peg bar, two important tools in hand-drawn animation, Anno instead killed two birds with one stone by buying the cheapest paper available at the 100 yen store. This was a huge influence on Anno, who proceeded to make his own flipbook shorts like the one presented in Aoi Hono.Īnno’s paper methods were also decidedly low-tech. One technique Anno employed in his live-action films was to cut the special effects – laser blasts and explosions – directly onto the film with a needle.Īnno, who went to high school and college in western Japan, once saved up enough money from his part-time job to take a trip to Tokyo where he attended the Private Animation Festival (PAF) and saw animated shorts filmed directly from paper, not cels. “Digital is a black box… you’re not sure what’s going on inside the camera, but with film, it’s really simple.”
