What is a tome cel? What is an A1 End cel? |

A tome cel (vaguely pronounced toe-meh) is a cel that is 'held' on the screen
for a longer period of time than most cels. You can think of it as a 'still
shot.' The kanji for the 'to' in tome means 'stop' or 'hold' (it's the same
kanji you see on the streets in Japan near intersections/stop signs).
A1 End denotes that the layer is the A-layer, is the first cel in the sequence
(1) and is the last cel in the sequence (End). Tome cels are often A1 End
(sometimes marked A1 Tome). However, an A1 End cel is not necessarily tome
because while it might be constant, there could be a B layer moving on top of
it, making the shot no longer still. Confusing matters more, sometimes the A1 End layer (like a still character face with a B layer of lips moving) will just be marked 'A Tome.' The shot is still generally not considered 'tome' though.
