Celsys Partners with Bandai Namco Filmworks to Enhance Animation Production Efficiency

Celsys's CLIP STUDIO PAINT Revolutionizes Animation with Bandai Namco Filmworks

In an exciting development for the animation industry, Celsys's renowned application, CLIP STUDIO PAINT, is proving to be an invaluable asset for Bandai Namco Filmworks, a leading name in the animation sector known for iconic series such as Gundam and Love Live! This collaboration aims to enhance the efficiency of animation production at Bandai Namco’s very own studio, SUNRISE Studios.

Celsys recently organized a seminar to share insights and best practices for using CLIP STUDIO PAINT, specifically targeted at production managers and animators within Bandai Namco. This event was designed to facilitate knowledge exchange about utilizing Celsys’s advanced graphics technology in a professional animation setting, thereby ensuring smooth and effective production workflows.

With over 30 years of experience in developing cutting-edge graphics technology, Celsys has established itself as a cornerstone of the animation production process. Their pioneering software, RETAS!, was the first commercial animation software developed in Japan and has been widely adopted across nearly all domestic animation studios, significantly contributing to the rise of digital animation in the country. Building upon this legacy, CLIP STUDIO PAINT integrates evolved techniques and expertise, continuously updating its features to meet the demands of professional creators.

Celsys's ongoing commitment to support the digital transformation (DX) in global animation production is evident. As a comprehensive tool for artists engaging in illustration, manga, and animation, CLIP STUDIO PAINT offers a seamless creation environment that has garnered the attention of over 55 million users worldwide, with more than 80% of its users residing outside of Japan. The application is currently available in 11 languages, catering to a diverse range of creators from entry-level users to seasoned professionals.

This partnership with Bandai Namco Filmworks illustrates Celsys’s dedication to providing innovative solutions that uplift the animation industry. By streamlining processes and offering sophisticated tools, Celsys aims to inspire creativity and efficiency among creators. They envision a vibrant world where every artist’s journey is supported, driving towards a more colorful and dynamic creative landscape.
