“We are in charge of system management and act as a liaison with manufacturers of products we had installed in the facility,” explained LITTLEBIT’s Nao Omachi. It is jointly managed by LITTLEBIT Inc., a system administrator of the facility. Noovo’s digital anime production facility, named Animator Space Tokyo, offers consultation and training for digital anime productions, as well as rental services for facility space. For this anime series, they used DaVinci Resolve and Unreal Engine, which allowed them to work efficiently with a small group of staff.
While the majority of the anime industry still use analog technology for production, hand drawing with paper, Noovo decided to take advantage of digital technology for a more efficient workflow.
Noovo specializes in full digital anime production. I wanted to try something new, which was to bring the picture book look using the latest technology,” said the book’s author and series executive producer Hideo Uda, CEO of Noovo. Having IP of the book meant that we could be more aggressive if we made it into animation, so I had already planned to make an anime version. “We already had a project to produce a picture book. The series was created digitally throughout the production process, while keeping the same watercolor painting look of the original book the series was based on. The cutting-edge production resulted in six five-minute episodes, available on various Japanese streaming services and globally on sites such as YouTube. The series, which also received an Epic MegaGrant, used DaVinci Resolve Studio for editing and used the Fusion page to create background images in conjunction with Epic Games’ Unreal Engine. Blackmagic Design today announced the anime series Aoi Hane Mitsuketa ( Finding a Blue Feather), produced by Japanese studio Noovo Inc., was posted using DaVinci Resolve Studio.
