The second inspiration I had was of Studio Ghibli and Japan. I love the vibrant worlds and scale that Hayao Miyazaki brings to his movies, and the child like innocence he always gives to his characters. The colours and painterly style he adds in his films, really brings life to forests, mountains, fields and countryside. He creates such beautiful worlds that as an audience, you want to be a part of.
Japan is an interesting country full of the same sort of colour and adventure. Tokyo is well known for it's maze of streets between tall buildings. In between this metropolis, are little areas of history and greenery. This is mainly in the form of Japanese Shrine Gardens which are designed very precisely, almost in a magical fashion. I really liked the contrast between the big industry metropolis, and then these hidden secret gardens placed within the maze of Tokyo's streets.
My final inspiration came from the colour scripts that Pixar produce for their films and more specifically, 'UP'. For my animation I want to create something colourful that sets the mood of the scene perfectly. So I plan to create colour scripts alongside my storyboards to help tell the story. Colour is very important when trying to tell a story, as it can subconsciously make you sad at the right time, and happy at the right time. It's a clever part of the creative process that many overlook when making an animation, but when it's done right, it can really make the difference.
Here are some moodboards I have created to help lead me into the right direction with my FYP:
