Hi Yong How
Following your advice, as soon as I arrived in Japan, I went to the Ghibli layout exhibition at the MOT. Thanks for the information It was so great I spent the whole day, from the opening to the closing time staying at the museum-!
If you do have some more upcoming exhibitions in Tôkyô to visit, please let me know– and if maybe we both have free time, we could go there together. I’m sure we’d have a lot to share and talk about anime, movie and photography ! ! !

Alex.

ShigueS – Thanks for visiting ! I read your blog too. :]

Joseph – Have you seen that brochure that came with the book and with the comic explaining what an animation layout design is ? I was thinking of translating that entire comic but never got around to doing it. In very simple terms, the layout design is an image board for animators that contains all the various information on the background plate, foreground elements (if any) , position of characters, camera movement, duration of the shot, and more, In other words, sort of a “stage” for the animator to visualize his work.
