Transformers: Art of Prime [Sorenson, Jim, Various] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Transformers: Art of Prime

Review: A tribute to the other "Team Prime" - "Transformers: The Art of Prime" is a rare book: a hardcover volume detailing the artistic creation of an American animated television series. There have been very few books in this category: Paul Dini and Chip Kidd's classic 1998 book, "Batman: Animated," which showcased the revered "Batman: The Animated Series," is an excellent example. "The Art of Star Wars: The Clone Wars," by Frank Parisi and Gary Scheppke, published in 2009, gave readers an inside look at the ambitious movie and TV continuation of George Lucas' "Star Wars" Saga. Most recently, books have been released featuring the making of the Nikelodeon Channel cartoon creations "Avatar: The Last Airbender ('The Art of the Animated Series,' from 2010)," and "The Legend of Korra ('The Art of the Animated Series: Book One - Air,' published in 2013), both written by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. These books offered animation fans enriching looks into the challenging work involved in the making of an animated series for television. "The Art of Prime," written by "Transformers" enthusiast Jim Sorenson, is a beautiful addition to this rather exclusive library of books. "Transformers: Prime" was a grand reinterpretation of the ongoing "Transformers" mythos, using computer graphic animation. Over three seasons and a direct to video movie finale, "Prime" gave giant robot fans and lovers of animation an exciting adventure cartoon with engaging stories and memorable characters. It also created its own distinctive vision of the decades old war between "the peace loving Autobots" and "the brutal Decepticons." "The Art of Prime" is a lavish showcase of the creation of that vision, brought to animated life by a band of talented people from around the world, an earth-born "Team Prime." The book is divided into three sections: "Character & Prop Design," "Background & Sets," and "Color & Effects." Each of these sections feature chapters displaying page after page of wonderful art reproductions in full color or black and white sketches as well as detailed illustrations of such things as: drawings and multiple views of the Transformer and human characters, background paintings of such show settings as the town of Jasper, Nevada (the home of young characters Jack, Rafael, and Miko), diagrams of "Team Prime's" base in a former nuclear missile compound, and illustrations and schematics of the Decepticon's monstrous and massive starship, the Nemesis. The artwork showcased in "The Art of Prime" is complimented by occasional quotes from the illustrators, expressing their ideas and inspiration for the visuals they imagined. There are also interviews with members of the TV series' creative team, including: David Hartman, Supervising Director/Art Director; Jose Lopez, Art Director/Characters & Props; and Vince Toyama, Production Designer. These interviews provide the reader fascinating insights into the challenging process of producing an animated cartoon. They also reveal the love these artists have for the "Transformers" universe. This 208 paged tome has a few flaws. A small number of the illustrations are printed too small to fully appreciate them and some of the full color paintings are reproduced too dark. But from the book's title page which features an almost iconic image of the noble Autobot leader Optimus Prime, taken from the episode "One Shall Rise, Part 3," to the stark illustration of the metallic world Cybertron, a two page painting that opened Chapter 5 of this volume, plus much more, "The Art of Prime" is a wonderful return to the saga of the brave robots and humans called "Team Prime." For fans of the "Transformers: Prime" animated series as well as fans of animation, this book comes very highly recommended. Long live Optimus Prime and Team Prime!!
Review: Wonderful reference! - If you are looking for a good reference for the characters of Transformers Prime, look no further than 'The Art of Prime'. The book not only has full-body references for all of the main characters, there is also insight from the people who worked on the show itself, as well as stunning images of the scenery and other stills from the series. This is an invaluable resource for fanartists and those who want to begin working on their own characters.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gerat!
*by S***Y on March 3, 2014*

This is a great buy for someone who's a fan of this series or someone who's a fan of computer animation. the book is mostly concept art work for the settings props and characters and it shows the proses for animating each of the characters. My only complaint would be that it doesn't include a lot of the earlier designs that the designers went threw (I would have liked to see those personally) and only includes the final ones that were used for the show.
