Toho Tokushu Bijutsu Bu No Shigoto Eiga TV CF Hen

[Machine Translation] The Special Effects Department was once part of Toho's Visual Arts Division and supported Toho's special effects films. The author, who joined the department, commonly known as "Tokubi" (special art), in 1972, took a series of photographs documenting the work of the department. This is a collection of Toho mecha photo materials that depict the work of not only the author but also his senior colleagues based on the photographs taken by the author. The photographs of war movies, panic movies, and other non-SF movies that are not often covered in movie magazines, as well as "fakes" produced for TV and commercials, are a must-see!

かつて東宝映像美術にあり、東宝特撮映画を支えた特殊美術部。「特美」と通称されたその部署へ、1972年に入った著者が撮影した作業記録写真を一挙公開。筆者だけでなく、先輩同僚の仕事を著者撮影の写真をもとに描き出す東宝メカ写真資料集です。映画雑誌などではあまり取り上げられることのない戦争映画やパニック映画など、SFもの以外の写真、テレビやCF用に製作された「作り物」は必見です!!
