Little Jolteon update

Nov 28, 2010 12:44

After what seems like forever, I am finally going to update the Jolteon page on my collection site and get it fully up to date! Unfortunately, I started gathering them together and I seem to be missing quite a few things - I guess last time I decided to start scanning stuff in I put it somewhere weird? I am missing all my TCG except for the Jungle ( Read more... )

What season is that second Jolteon from? And what happened to its legs?

Btw, are the cels bigger or smaller than the settei? If the cels are bigger, I think I know the reason. If they're smaller, then your guess is as good as mine.

The cels are bigger - the sketch doesn't fit in my scanner, but the settei do neatly.

Maybe they use a different kind of paper for the production art, vs making copies? I think settei are on A4 pages but these are not the same size or shape.

On second thought, maybe I don't know.

My first guess was that the cels are bigger in case the camera needs to pan. My animation professor (who used to work with cels) mentioned this in class one day. If you move the cel for a camera pan, you have to be careful to leave enough room around the edges of the cel. Otherwise you'll be able to see a line where the cel ends.

But that Jolteon sketch looks like it's a standard 4 x 3 ratio (or close to it). Maybe the cels are 4 x 3 for broadcasting and the settei are A4 because that's a standard paper size in Japan?

That's so cool to own a unique piece of Pokemon history. I think settei are neat, but cels and their accompanying sketches are even cooler, since you can watch an episode and say, "I have that cel!"

Oh man, that other Jolteon. xD They weren't trying too hard that day, I guess.

Nice! You were so incredibly lucky to get that cel. I know I would pay a pretty penny for an Eeveelution cel, especially Umbreon! It's such an adorable cel, too--and I agree, I think Jolteon was better drawn in the earlier seasons.
