MAD Mondays - Naoki Tate
June 11th, 2007 by Brack Posted in Animation, Anime, MAD Monday | |
A nice find, posted by Suckga on Youtube, a compilation of recent work by Naoki Tate on One Piece. Including parts of the recent episode 311, which was the best episode for animation overall for a while. Can’t find much out about the animator though, ANN lists them only as an inbetweener on some Dragonball films. The Japanese wiki page indicates they are a Toei stalwart, and has been doing key animation on One Piece since episode 1 and art production direction since episode 105. Shame the MAD uses fansubbed video, but you know beggars can’t choosers and at least I now know the work and name of another animator.
B-B-Bonus - a handy page from Sunrise’s website in Japanese and English that explains the animation process - it helped me figure out what the roles where on the wiki page that Naoki Tate had performed.
