Today the animation cels from Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein’s cartoon show arrived at work today. I was really astonished with them too. I figured that they would just send a cel of this character standing around or in an action pose. What they actually sent were finished set ups of multiple cels layered upon each other with the background art attached. This is what the animators would assemble and then shoot with the camera, hundreds of times, to make an episode.
They’re awesome because I recognize the episodes these scenes are from. They’re also pieces of animation history, Mission Hill was the last hand-painted cartoon made.
I hope to get some pictures of them to post but I want to make sure that the flash from my camera doesn’t damage them.
