Spirited away


Spirited away is one of my favorite films which has ever excited, the animation is done by studio Ghibli which are a well established film studio, they are known for the quality and amounts of details within each film they create.

The story takes place of a girl and her parents moving houses, they almost reach the house but the father takes the wrong turn or rather thinks the road ahead is a shortcut towards their house. This then takes them to a new world where Chihiro wonders around a village as her parents eat in an empty restaurant.

The story then develops as we follow Chihiro trying to enter a bath house and has to work to survive.

From the start of the film the animation is flawless full of amazing details that tricks you to believe its real life which is hard to create when animating and this is one of the reasons why i love this film and Studio Ghibli behind it all.

One of my favorite moments in the film is the part when Chihiro is putting her shoes on, it may look like a simple scene but it is made by observation of a girl actually putting her shoes on, for example when she puts the foot in the shoe she holds it then stands up and taps the floor in order to fully put her foot in her shoe which is quite complex but its these moments that make the film seem alive as ever and makes you believe its real. 

i want to observer and try to create a realistic feel to my animations, i would love to achieve this for my future animations and hopeful have an eye for movement to give the impression of realism.
