Composition Thumnails: Yuzo Kawashima

Half assed calling this a study, but really this is just couch sketching :P

I once read it's a good idea to look at a sequence that takes place in a room, and look at how the camera is handled. See if you can draw the room and figure out how they planned it.

In this sequence they got a lot of cool compositions by having the characters move through the scene and change their poses, and so without creating new camera angles, they get a lot of new compositions and keep it interesting.
