... that the anime film 100 Meters has a 3-minute 40-second long take that includes 9800 rotoscoped frames and took a year to produce?
Source: "The 3-minute and 40-second single-take video was produced using rotoscoping techniques over approximately one year, and the total number of drawings is approximately 9800". Translated from source

Overall: @Ajheindel Hook is very interesting. I made a few minor copyedits: changing "movie" to "film" (more typical term for anime); changing "includes" to "has" (avoid using "includes" twice in the same hook); changing "three" to "3" (per MOS:NUMNOTES); changing "long take" to "sequence" (a long take generally refers to live-action movies); and changing "over a year" to "a year" (since the source simply mentions "approximately one year"). Please feel free to modify or reverse any of these changes if you believe it will improve the hook. All requirements are met, so good to go. Crestfalling (talk/contribs) 00:15, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for the review, I think all the changes are fine except I would prefer the inclusion of "long take" instead of "sequence". It is true that this is a term usually applied to live action, but this film primarily uses rotoscoping techniques which is based off a live action reference. Many of the sources and reviews make note of this scene because it is a standout part of the film, and they refer to it as a long take shot, so I think using the term is fine.

Got it, that makes sense. Just replying here to make it fully clear that that the current hook has no problems. Crestfalling (talk/contribs) 05:37, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
