The Akira Project has recently launched a live-action trailer which is amazingly produced by its fans. The Akira Project trailer is based on the classic anime hits. The trailer has been released online as a live-action version of 'Akira', reports Yahoo! News.
According to the site, the Akira Project live-action trailer is crowd-funded and a non-profit production courtesy of the company, and not an official trailer to an upcoming film. The project reportedly challenged fans to make a five-minute trailer. It was originally launched since July of 2012 via an Indiegogo campaign. For the Akira Project live-action trailer project, they have received significant financial contributions they received and a host of offers from fans for help.
In the Akira Project trailer, the fans were able to capture some of the memorable moments from the 'Akira' anime movie and original manga. The movie and manga were all created, written and directed by Katsuhiro Ohtomo. It was in the early 80s that the manga was released. It reportedly ran for eight years until the year 1990. In 1988, Ohtomo made the film and today it's still one of the most highly regarded animes of all-time.
According to Yahoo!, The Akira Project had to tour around 12 different countries in order to complete the brief, but they were able to vividly achieve needed footage. Filming for The Akira Project took place on Nov. 2-5 2012 and the production team had to spend around 10 months in post production. Evolving on a global scale, the film had over 40 artists.
The Akira Project trailer appears professional with sharp editing and notable computer graphics. Yahoo! says it can probably pass for an actual, official trailer for a film.
The Akira Project live-action trailer has only been launched a few days before but the video has already garnered over half a million hits on YouTube.
