Interesting facts

The Flying Luna Clipper (ザ・フライング・ルナクリッパー) is a 1987 Japanese computer-animated art film/demo directed by Ikko Ono and produced by Sony. The film was animated entirely using 8-bit MSX computers and was released on Video8, Betamax, VHS, and LaserDisc in Japan. It was mostly unknown until a copy was found in a Japanese thrift store and uploaded to YouTube in December 2015 by journalist Matt Hawkins.

Background

Ikko Ono is a graphic designer who worked as the cover artist for MSX Magazine from 1986. He also had his own column called Ikko's Gallery about using the computer as a tool for illustration. Many of the illustrations he created for the magazine depict characters seen in the film. Later he had another column called Ikko's Theatre about short films which served as the basis for The Flying Luna Clipper.
