I have also been re-watching some Studio Ghibli films. Triggered by the recent news, Studio Ghibli has officially released about 400 high-res (and counting) noncommercial-use illustrations from past works, I went through My neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away again for some inspirations. And I totally need some break from work.
This week, I have been trying to pick up Unity and imported the assets into the application that I created for practice
. I noticed the background vectors I have so far are slightly blended in with the character illustrations. So the research is also to find ways to make characters pop out from the backgrounds.
I observed the contrast between the characters and backgrounds in the films. Miyazaki Hayao uses different styles to create subtle contrasts among background, foreground and characters.
