visual language: enviromental story telling



There are many animated sequences that have backgrounds which tells us about what we should expect from the narrative, each animation uses backgrounds effectively in order to keep the viewer interested in what they see.
One example of interesting background is from studio ghibli who made really interesting animations which had really amazing results with the backgrounds from the audience, The backgrounds in spirited away were fascinating, you were always drawn to the animated details in each scene.
Here is an example from one of my favorite scenes from the film:

The quality and the detail of the background are just incredible, from this picture above you can tell how much time it must of taken to produce this traditionally made scene, and because its quite big there are all sort you could do with this scene, what i remember is that they panned to the left of the screen, having big long backgrounds really help because your able to showcase more of the background of the story.  

I can see that the background artist had to get inspirations from real life in order to create such a scene, most of these scene created must of been taken from photo referance the studio have taken in a country side landscape on a clear day. because its difficult to produce a semi realistic painting without having some sort of pictures or looking at real life.
