Yeah... it happened kind of backwards for me. :o)
My main focus is Flame of Recca, and I keep a
website about the show. I decided to do a
screencap gallery, and so I sat down and watched
the whole series through for the first time in
years, and basically hit pause and made a cap
whenever I thought, "Hey! What a great cel!"
or "Oo, I own that one in that frame right
there..." It wasn't really a wishlist, exactly,
but more of a reminder to myself that there were
a lot of interesting shots somewhere out there...
Of course, the series is 42 episodes long, so the
chances of those particular sequences, or even
those particular frames, coming up on the market
are pretty slim. But amazingly enough, I've been
able to find a few exact-frame cels that I had
capped way back when, and several sequence-mates.
But I do find that my interest in my collection
is greater when the series is fresh in my mind,
because the cels suddenly have context. In
general, I can pinpoint most of my cels to within
an episode or two, but it's nice to be able to
watch the moment and know *exactly* what's going
on. |
