A new Ghibli film ?

[Elodie]

Yes, that's why I'm wondering

[ten_zero]

Looks like this is preliminary production artwork, but it would fit the final film as well, as they did in My Neighbors the Yamadas.

Yes, that's why I'm wondering .

BINGO!

Here is a pilot film edition :

Spoiler : :

It had been five years since TAKAHATA shoot "YAMADA" drawing by TOONZ (one flame per 3 layers : line art + water coloring + Hand drawing FX) 14 years ago.

[Elodie]

Yeah !

[Fabrice]

ok, so since ToonZ has almost no painting tools, it's mostly hand paper made animation + FX. (traditionnal old fashion way)

[ten_zero]

Ghibli will shows us making TV program how to drawing or post-effecting "Princess Kaguya" in November 2013.
Now I am able to share this video when Digital Video promote "Toonz" coloring Sumi-e FX function as same technique for "YAMADA" (08:03- / spoken in Italiano).

One more thing,
"Princess Kaguya" made by same drawing technic as "Yamada".

Spoiler : :

Line art (sheet 1) + for Coloring line art (sheet 2) + "Sumi-e (Ink wash painting)" Masking paint (sheet 3)= three times drawing per A sheet × about 5,000,000 during 8 years.

"Toonz" coloring Sumi-e FX function as same technique for "YAMADA" .

One more thing,
"Princess Kaguya" made by same drawing technic as "Yamada".

Line art (sheet 1) + for Coloring line art (sheet 2) + "Sumi-e (Ink wash painting)" Masking paint (sheet 3)= three times drawing per A sheet × about 5,000,000 during 8 years.

I am confused about the description of the technique . Your earlier comment seems to say that the "Sumi-e" ink wash technique is simulated in the Toonz software , but your other comment makes me think that the technique in "Princess Kaguya" is rendered on 3 sheets of paper : Sheet 1 = Line Art , Sheet 2 = coloring for line art , Sheet 3 = Sumi-e ink wash . (3 sheets used for each frame of the animation) Then this animation is scanned to Toonz for compositing (?) .

That is right.

Here is a Ghibli and HP WorkStation seminor on 2006 presentation :

Spoiler : some quite written in Japanese language :

・デジタルペイント、合成工程でトータルに使用
・基本的にラスタイメージのデータ→「線」を大事にする
・従来のセル･アニメーションの制作工程がそのまま移植されている
・劇場用解像度の制作に耐えうる
・プラグインの開発が自由
・用途においてライセンスレベルが設定されている

「作業工程から見ると、彩色は下流の工程になります。シナリオ、コンテ、原画、レイアウト、背景、動画、これらはすべて従来どおり紙と鉛筆で描いています。そうした意味においては、アニメーション制作の流れ自体は従来と変わっていません」

「その後の動画をスキャナーでとってデジタルペイントし、手書きの背景をデジタルカメラで撮影、これらを合成して完成します。ちなみに背景はサイズが大きいので、フラットベッドスキャナーではなく、デジタルカメラのほうがハンドリングがしやすいです」
