Yoshitomo Yonetani To Helm Independent OAV
Date: 1/6/2007
Similar to what we've seen come from Makoto Shinkai and what's been proposed for Be Rockn', word on the street is director Studio Hibari and Yoshitomo Yonetani (Betterman, Gaogaigar, Brigadoon) are looking to become involved in a new independent OAV project. Staff will be virtually non-existant, production will be carried out by a mere handful of people. This can be done becuase almost all of the work is being done in a computer. Original concept, Direction, and Screenplay will all be handled by Yoshimoto, Character Design will be provided by MA@YA, Animation Production proper is being credited to: Studio Hibari CG Team. It's said MA@YA will totally flush out the full range of character expressions and articulation in a 3D program.
