This sheet belongs to the second television series, first broadcast in colour in 1980. Until computers took over in the late 1990s every frame was painted by hand on clear acetate and photographed once over its background, then put aside. What survives of that labour is scattered and unrepeatable, and each sheet records a single twenty-fourth of a second of the film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Astro Boy, second television series, 1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted acetate cel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupport:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cel and paper stapled and adhered together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cel and the paper are stapled and adhered together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegistration holes along the top edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the Japanese scale, some marks and soiling; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hand-painted production cel from the 1980 series.
