I am most interested in 2D animation and I am mostly taking inspiration from other 2D animators. Most specifically the work of Studio Ghibli, a Japanese animation film studio whose work includes, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Ponyo. All of these films took a lot of time and people to make but I am hoping of creating some animated shorts inspired by their art style as well as the types of stories they tell. Their style is described as “whimsical and childlike” as many of their films are suited for children, and they use a variety of animation methods to create beautiful and memorable scenes.
