Best Anime Video - K-ON!

Summary:
It's Yui Hirasawa's first year in high school, and she's eagerly searching for a club to join. At the same time, Ritsu Tainaka, a drummer, and her friend Mio Akiyama, a bassist, are desperately trying to save the school's light music club, which is about to be disbanded due to lack of members. They manage to recruit Tsumugi Kotobuki to play the keyboard, meaning they only need one more member to get the club running again.

Billed as a professional level, all-in-one 2-D animation tool, Anime Studio Pro 6 boasts an impressive set of features that will impress animators looking for a relatively inexpensive software package.

Anime Studio Pro 6 is billed by its maker, Smith Micro, as an “all-in-one animation tool for professionals and digital artists.” While it may not give Lightwave 3D a run for its money anytime soon, for its price Anime Studio Pro gives users an impressive array of features.

Anime Studio Pro 6 allows Macintosh users (and Windows users as well) to create various animated 2-D pieces, ranging from short animations to full length films. The software is designed to simplify the traditionally tedious job of frame-by-frame animation creation.

The newest version of Anime Studio Pro features a fairly long list of features that can be found on any animator's wish list, including lip-syncing, onion skinning, motion tracking, vector-based drawing tools, scripting tools and layer-based auto shading (new to the latest version). It uses a bone rigging system that allows users to create fairly realistic animations, and boasts a number of special effects that allow users to tweak their creations.

After you’ve created your animation masterpiece, the software allows you to output it in a variety of different formats, including HDV and HDTV 780 p and 1080p, Flash and NTSC/PAL D1/DV standard and widescreen.

When it comes to high end digital animation software for the Macintosh, professionals have a few choices out there, including Toon Boom Animate Pro and Adobe After Effects. While Anime Studio Pro 6 may not be able to offer all the features found in some of these high end (and high priced) software packages, it does a good job of providing a solid set of tools for basic professional animation. Furthermore, at a $199 list price, Anime Studio Pro 6 is good value for your money.

While Anime Studio Pro 6 isn’t the hardest piece of software on the market to master, if you don’t have some background using animation programs, don’t expect to be able to install it and immediately begin producing the next South Park with it. There is a learning curve, especially for the novice. Having said that, any amateur animator looking to upgrade his or her toolbox and move to the next level of digital animation wouldn’t go wrong by buying this package, while professional animators would be advised to at least check it out and see if it fits their needs.

Animation Industry

noreply@blogger.com (AnimeDVDasia) — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 02:24:00 +0000

The anime industry has grown significantly in the last few years, especially outside of Japan. It has spread rapidly across the world, with a major increase in the licensing of various series, movies, and OAVs (a.k.a Original Animated Video) at an increased rate across multiple regions, and the rise of the anime network.

While anime had entered markets beyond Japan in the 1960s, it grew as a major cultural export during its market expansion during the 1980s and 1990s. The anime market for the United States alone is "worth approximately $4.35 billion, according to the Japan External Trade Organization".Anime has also been a commercial success in Asia, Europe and Latin America, where anime has become even more mainstream than in the United States. For example, the Saint Seiya video game was released in Europe due to the popularity of the show even years after the series has been off-air.

Anime distribution companies handled the licensing and distribution of anime outside Japan. Licensed anime is modified by distributors through dubbing into the language of the country and adding language subtitles to the Japanese language track. Using a similar global distribution pattern as Hollywood, the world is divided into five regions.
