traditional/cel animation AND CGI are both hard work...

Agreed,Gainax is stellar.I love the animatic comparison.Hand drawn is still king,IMO.

Does someone could tell me how the background of this scene music is called and who sings? grateful

It is pretty astounding how high quality the Diacon 4 animation is. It really raised the bar and set some standards for the years to come... and not just the 'Gainax bounce' ;)

@the60sKid Not when it's done right. Sadly it usually isn't.

geniale!

Yes I know. I have the whole thing on vhs for about 20 years myself. I still watch it to this day,

Seriously, what's with Gainax and ELO? Guess someone was a fan.

[Stratohead]

its not as rare as you'd think... it was released on Betamax back in the day... then laserdisc...and VHS copies have been in circulation for about 20 years.

oh really? so I guess you worked with both mediums before, did you? "cheating" the audience and creating illusions is part of the animation business, regardless of what type of medium you use. during my time at the filmschool I've worked with traditional animation, CGI and (motion controlled)Model FX so I think I know what I'm talking about.

3D is a cheat.
