Cel Sizes - or, "I'm Having a Retarded Problem" (Sat Jun 3 13:31:25 2000 )

DOH !

I was going to try to put together a "Make Your Own Celbook"
guide to add to the Comprehensive thread I posted before, 
but I'm feeling a little retarded. It's about cel sizes. 
While I'm still sticking to the 11x14 "standard" celbook 
sizes, it's still good to know all sizes since custom celbooks
is all about dimensions...

Yes, I know there are 12-field cels, but I haven't been 
able to verify what size they're really 'supposed' to be, 
and none of my cels are in that "typical" size range according
to various web sites (12x9 from one source, 12.5x10.5 from 
another source). I can only estimate my cel sizes since I 
don't have a ruler (du-uh), and my "standard" anime cels 
come out to slightly less than 11x10, or about 11x10 with their
pencils. So I'm just a LITTLE confused about standard anime 
cel sizes - an inch is a HUGE difference. !!

Then there are the movie cels, which is called 15-field at
one source, and 16-field at another! WHAT THE HELL!!
(Or, 15x16 versus 16.5x10.5) >_<

Then there are background sizes, but I'm not sure what those
might be since I have only a couple cels with backgrounds 
(I think they're around 14x12, but not sure)..

Does someone have a tape measure and a goodly number of 
both 'standard' and 'movie' cels, pencils, and some with 
backgrounds? Do me a favor and measure some of 'em, down 
to the quarter inch or less. 

I was hoping to finish it on only a couple of hours. 
>_<
