Studio Ghibli Storyboards

 I have been researching storyboards recently and have chosen to share the work which most inspires me: Studio Ghibli

I've taken all of these images from Floobynooby (which is a blog I love)

Firstly, I admire Hayao Miyazaki so much. Ghibli films are always so beautiful I feel like I can't take my eyes off them and if I'm ever lacking inspiration I know that all I need to do is put one on in the background and immediately I'm in the mood to create.

One thing that constantly impresses me about Ghibli movies is the ridiculous amount of detail put into the backgrounds. Although the characters are done in a simplistic animation style, the backgrounds are amazing.

I absolutely love looking at sketches from my favourite artists and seeing how their work progresses to their most effective pieces, and Studio Ghibli storyboards are no exception. Seeing the original ideas behind the films makes me nerd out a little and get really excited. Even the sketches are absolutely stunning.

I also love how the colour is used in these pictures to bring everything out. It's interesting to see how the artist has used the composition and colour of the scenes to set the mood, and how it all follows through to the actual films.
