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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atom and Professor Ochanomizu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted acetate cel, with pencil drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrawing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included, adhered to the cel in places\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe matching pencil drawing is adhered to the cel in places, with faint pencil visible around the feet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB (very good)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; 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 with its pencil drawing.
