Description: Girls Band Cry pushes the boundaries of contemporary animation with its distinctive illustration-inspired 3D full-animation style. How was this unique visual approach brought to life? Based on dozens of hours of in-depth interviews with the Girls Band Cry production team, this comprehensive making-of book takes you behind the scenes of the production process. Explore the entire workflow in detail, from the scenario and storyboards to the evolution of character designs from initial rough sketches to their final forms; 3D models; location scouting using AR; the wealth of information packed into close-up shots; live performance video production; rigs and modeling adjustments for creating expressive facial animation; lighting; camera angles and direction; art settings and art boards; and a detailed staff list. Featuring extensive interviews alongside comparisons between making-of images and the finished footage, this is the definitive making-of book for Girls Band Cry.
