Sparked by the riddle: “How do you make manga in film without creating anime?”, Mackenzie Sheppard’s intricately crafted spot for Amazon sees manga readers absorbed into magical, monochrome comic-book worlds.

If watching the film set off another question in your brain – i.e. ‘How the hell did he do that?’  – then you’re in luck; the making-of video above offers an inside-the-scenes glimpse into the painstaking process – from developing the stories with real manga artists, to testing in AR how a 2.5D shooting approach would look, printing out and meticulously cutting over 1000 manga frames, and finally filming them with motion control cameras over 4 days.
