New printing
using the original 35mm film elements. Contains 50 percent more pages than
the original (1997) four-volume set of film comics; thus,
additional dialogue and many more cel setups have been included that were
omitted from the 1997 set. The color and sharpness of the images are also
noticeably improved. The first four volumes contain 170 pages each, and
the fifth contains 178 pages.

Paperbound but

a variety of sketches, storyboards, background information, and cel
reproductions (with backgrounds). Unlike some of the other
"Art of" books, this one does not
contain the script, but instead contains the production diaries of Studio
Ghibli, detailing the three-year process of making the movie. There is also a
section about how CG was used in Mononoke Hime. 223 pages. |
