"By using simple animations drawn with a pencil, I want to control and move everything that appears within each frame." Going back to the roots of animation, Hayao Miyazaki created the feature-length animation "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea." To increase the visual quality of the picture, the background scenes were made more detailed and lifelike, and characters were drawn with even, controlled lines. While digital animation has made it simple and easy to manipulate images, this was a challenge he took in order to rethink the notion of what it means to draw.
This exhibition reveals how the movie "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" was created by Miyazaki and his team, who strove to exploit the best characteristics of hand drawing in the animated film. They focused on the meticulous depiction of the lively movements of living things using thick pencilled lines. This exhibition traces the story of Ponyo, and focuses on several scenes in particular that show how they were created.
Also on view are a large number of illustrations created for the animation, key frames and in-betweens that visitors can actually pick up and examine. Sculptures of Ponyo and large fish are also on display.
