An interesting illustrated article about how Anime is successfully moving into the Arab world with projects reflecting folklore and cultural influences.
Have any of you seen these projects yet? Thoughts on other cross-cultural influences in media and art?
I just looked up SPIRITED AWAY, Pamela Jaye Smith. I've sent that poster on social media a few times. It's on my watchlist now. The first show on my new anime watchlist. :)
Oh, good, Maurice. I hope you really enjoy it. That same filmmaker has some other really good ones, too.
Make sure that you add Attack on Titan to your list, Maurice Vaughan. It's my favorite anime series and last I knew, it was all on Hulu: https://www.hulu.com/series/9c91ffa3-dc20-48bf-8bc5-692e37c76d8...

In animation circles, this is called appeal, one of the 12 principles of animation.

Expand commentWhen approaching character design, I like to get a sense of the whole story and the character's role in it. If there is no backstory to the character, then I like to create one that compliments the sc...
Expand commentI don’t know. Is this a problem that needs solving in a live action film, or are you asking how animated films depict time passing?
I think the answer would be the same in live action or animation. Montage. Dissolves. Match cuts. I suppose in animation one could do morphing.
Mike Boas No, its not a problem but it is nice to get people to share their ideas on it.
Here’s an interview with the creator about the upcoming series.
This is a unique case of an internet pilot gaining a following, then launching into a series run on a major streamer. Vi...

Expand commentWonderfully written article, Kumar, I liked that you mentioned the examples of Chhota Bheem and Arjun. Green Gold Animation has been using this technique since its inception; they are efficiently producing animation at a low cost. You could have elaborated on it. It's nice to read such insights from you. Well done.
