Behind the scenes video for Last Window’s animation. If you’re a fan of the Hotel Dusk series’ distinctive visual style — and how could you not be? — watch this!

Hotel Dusk/Last Window director and character designer Taisuke Kanasaki shares some of the steps from his rotoscoping process in the video: capturing poses, tracing images, testing artwork (check out the IS-NITRO device!), and outsourcing work.

Also, the seven-minute clip provides a glimpse of CING’s office, which might not be around anymore considering that we haven’t heard anything about the studio since it filed for bankruptcy seven months ago.

It was nice of Nintendo of Europe to create a dub for this Japanese video. It was also nice of them to actually release Last Window over there. If only Nintendo of America would afford us the same kindness!
