Mitigate environmental impacts in animation production
Bandai Namco Pictures is promoting a reduction in the amount of paper used by introducing digital drawing at its creative rooms located in Iwaki and Osaka. Digitalization of animation production not only reins in the massive volume of conventional drawing papers but also allows the delivery of drawings via a network, thereby helping to reduce CO2 emissions in transport.
