[DOC] Skyscrapers and High Rises (Frameworks (Sharpe Focus)) by Shana Priwer; Cynthia Phillips in Arts-Photography

Description

With an output of more than 250;000 minutes annually; and with roughly 5;000 producers and production units; the Chinese are leading the field of animated films. Although it is almost impossible to completely cover 90 years of filmmaking; this book provides a comprehensible introduction to the industryrsquo;s infancy; its Golden Age (Shanghai Animation Film Studio) and todayrsquo;s Chinese animation (in feature films; television series and student films). There are classics such as Princess Iron Fan (made at the time of the Japanese occupation) and the color Havoc in Heaven; both starring the Monkey King Sun Wukong; as well as countless TV stars (Blue Cat; Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf) and many almost unknown works by young filmmakers who are not focusing on an audience of children (like most of the industry output).
