    As an aspiring background artist, People don't tend to realize how difficult it is on how to make backgrounds to convey a mood or a setting. That's why seeing backgrounds on anime just mind blows me sometimes on how they added the light/shadows.

    A lot of anime now days use 3D software for there perspectives and backgrounds nowadays since it makes it more easier and convenient.

    One anime I believe that deserves to be featured in this video yet wasn't is Madoka Magica. The unique backgrounds (cut-out style) draw attention of the audience, yet sometimes also feature elaborate and symbolic scenery (eg. the buildings and roads and various scenes)

    • @Colegial24
      @Colegial24 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      He did mention studio Shaft, and since they did Madoka it is kinda implicit. He does like madoka a lot, he once made a review on it and gave it a really high score

    As a student learning 3D animation, the environmental art of anime has always inspired and fascinated me. I’ve tried to replicate it to some degree in Photoshop (to varying degrees of success), but I’m still left awestruck.
    I’m not usually one who watches anime, but lately I have been getting into it more. One that I revisited was Sword Art Online. Now, I personally don’t care about its plot, however, I do care about its music and art style. The details that the artists convey in SAO is nothing short of museum-worthy, so to its melancholy yet tranquil musical compositions with the acoustic guitar and piano. Specifically for me, I adore how they managed to capture the natural beauty of the mountains and lakeside cabin, both of which resonated with me on a personal level (I live a few hours drive from the Rockies and my family once owned a lakeside cabin), so the nostalgia is there.
    And that’s really the beauty of it, they perfectly encapsulated the emotions of the scene. Of the characters at their cabin. One of peaceful, bittersweet catharsis in an unforgiving world, much the same as our own.

    Well done. You've brought the background into consideration. A lot of people miss the importance of the background art. The movements, the scales, the colors, the direction, and the relation are all things to consider. You've done a great job explaining how the background plays out.

    I have to say I appreciate the ever loving shit out of your videos. Essays and analysis of animated mediums are barely given the same attention and merit as ones done for traditional film, let alone comparisons between the two. Especially in a way that's not pretentious and haughty like the majority of anime youtubers.
    Keep it up. You deserve so much, man.

    Hey I’m looking for an anime that had a 4th wall break scene explaining background art and stuff. It’s been a year or so but all I remember is a detective and his female apprentice going over how the suspect couldn’t have used a certain item as it was part of the drawn background in the scene. It was a weird scene that went over how the animated characters can’t interact with background objects😂

    This information is brilliant. I'm currently researching into how animators make and develop backgrounds and environments. I was wondering if you have done or could do a video about purely how they make and 'film' scenes? Like the methods such as cel animation for panning shots, as well as digitally created backgrounds.

    The sliding movement of bakgrounds used in anime has actually been coined "animetism" to set it apart from the ballistic camera movement seen in live action films, which is called cinematism. I have seen cases of cinematism used in anime however, such as in Paprika, during the opening film sequences in Konakawa's dreams.
