Hayao Miyazaki is one of the greatest legends in the history of Japanese cinema, and his art continues to delight both younger and older audiences.
Although 2020 was not favorable for most of us, Studio Ghibli made sure that its fans had at least one reason to be happy. Throughout the year, information was shared on a new production, Earwig and the Witch, based on the novel by Diana Wynne Jones. The film was directed by Gorō Miyazaki, son of Hayao Miyazaki, known for creating the best animations for children. This is the first production in the history of the label that was created entirely by computer, using 3D technology.
After all, Studio Ghibli legend Hayao Miyazaki remains a faithful fan of the traditional technique of creating his films, and is known to disagree with more than 10% of his animations being computer generated. Although the drawing master announces after each film that this is his last production, fans still hope that he will come back with a new work. It happened this time as well. Hayao Miyazaki will direct the latest animation, How Do You Live? , which is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Yoshino Genzaburo. The premiere of the film is announced for the later part of 2021.
So far, the creators have shared photos of Hayao Miyazaki on Twitter while working on the animation. In his hand, as always, you can see a pencil and a piece of paper, and the illustrations he created reflect the well-known and liked atmosphere of his films. The photos, although they do not reveal much, also reflect the aesthetic and elegant atmosphere of Studio Ghibli’s animation, made with the greatest care for the smallest details.
