Intention

My goal for this project was to create a mashup video that conveyed a sense of continuous movement, and I chose to use clips from Studio Ghibli movies because they are well-known and well-animated. Originally, I had wanted to put together a lot of run cycles, but the end result focuses more on any sort of "motion," not just running, so it includes some transportation and scenery as well. I personally really enjoy these types of sequences in animation, since they are often found at intense or otherwise important points in the story. They also capture viewers' attention and invoke strong feelings about freedom and change. So, I wanted my final result to evoke these kinds of emotions in viewers, as well as to simply convey the beauty of 2D animations.
