Princess Mononoke and Hayao Miyazaki

My favourite animation of all time, Princes Mononoke is an inspiring piece of Animation. Produced in Japan back in 1997. Princess Mononoke is a period drama set specifically in an alternate Japanese fantasy. The story concentrates on involvement of the outsider Ashitaka in the struggle between the supernatural guardians of a forest and the humans of the Iron Town who consume its resources. There can be no clear victory, and the hope is that relationship between humans and nature can be restored. Studio Ghibli have set the var for Animation for nearly 20 years now, with huge titles like 'Spirited Away'. But Princess Mononoke for me brings animation to life. The scale of the scenes are just incredible which makes hard to believe that it was produced nearly 15 years ago. The scenery is just beautiful, and some the creature leave me speechless 
Princess Mononoke is mostly hand drawn, but at points incorporates the use of CGI. The computer animated parts were used to blend and support the beautiful hand drawn animation. Hayao Miyazaki who directed Princess Mononoke mastered the whole piece in digital paint, which gave the animation a sharp edge of which would have been revolutionary at the time and subsequently is used now in all Studio Ghibli films. The introduction of Computer aided design sped up the production of the film greatly which shows how useful the technology is and how effectively it can be used. Miyazaki is an all Inspiring producer, he personally checked all 144,00 frames in the film and according to sources personally redrawn  80,000 of them. It is this kind of work that inspires me to work at my animation and strive to be a animator like Miyazaki. In conclusion i looked at this production of this film to see exactly what undertaking a feature length animation would be like. It has blown me away at the sheer amount of work that needs to be put in, but as also inspired me to work harder and push for better marks with my own animation
