Studio Brief 2- Storyboard Artist- Hayao Miyazaki

Storyboard Artist

Studio Ghibli is a Japanese company set up in Tokyo. They have released many movies like Ponyo, My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away. Many of these movies include messages about the country and its way of working like pollution and nature. Hayao Miyazaki is an animator who is very well known in japan much like Walt Disney is in this country.


One of the reasons i like him as a storyboard artist is that he doesn't let the box restrain his designs. I also find his use of colour, bold pencil work and detailed scenes make it easy to tell what is going on within this shot but also it makes it very easy for the storyboards to be brought across to become an animation.
These two panels are showing other ways he works, either using yellow to sketch and then adding pencil to make them more clear, or adding very colourful backgrounds and scenes to make sure the animators can see how he wants the overall composition to look.

This shows just how many notes are made by Hayao Miyazaki just so that they can be followed and understood.

Again he also shows how if a scene is from far away and showing the whole scene, he went outside the box and made the scene long showing the camera shot.
