Abstract:
"Based on my analysis of amazing animation works such as: The Everyday Tales of a Cat God, Spirited Away, and Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan, I decided to make a project that applies characteristics from the Shinto mythology. I believe that learning about another culture is an efficient method to create a set of characters and a world different from our own. I hope that the process that I show here can be helpful to all the artists who wish to create an exciting and intriguing animated story." --Abstract
