I will reblog this automaton every single time I see it because I adore it and you cannot stop me.
Akira (1988) / Production Report / Studio Footage
Studio footage depicting Akira’s painting and colouring process. The film used an unprecedented palette of 327 colours, due to so many scenes being set at night.
It’s 2019, and I am officially done with stodgy anti-phone thinkpieces.
From now on, the only criticisms of smart phones that I accept will be:
1) Manufacture that is incredibly taxing on the environment and relies on exploited labor
2) Planned obsolescence
3) Super creepy apps and functions that invade a person’s privacy without their consent
4) Smartphones being used to enable employers, family, and friends to demand a person’s engagement and availability at every hour of the day or night
