80s Cel Anime
Hand-painted 1980s TV and OVA anime re-created in code: original characters in flat two-tone cels with hard-edged shadows and coloured outlines, set against soft airbrushed backgrounds such as neon cities, starry skies and dawn seas. Signs, lamps and chrome-gradient titles glow through the frame and flicker on at 12 frames a second. Characters move on twos and blink on threes, light bands sweep across held close-ups, and speed lines and impact frames punctuate the action. The whole film plays back like a late-80s videotape on a CRT, with chroma bleed, scanlines, glow and dark corners. It suits music videos, game and event trailers, nostalgic stories and holiday shorts.

What to provide
Tell us what the film is about, where and when it happens (a night city, the seaside, a classroom, under the stars) and what each character looks like: hair colour, eye colour, outfit and one signature colour. Spell out any on-screen text, such as a title, subtitle, year or episode number, and keep each piece short. Everything is drawn in code, so photos and footage are not used. Characters are always original and never taken from existing anime.
