Week 2 Hayao Miyazaki Research Marshal Brant

 One of the most well known animators today is Hayao Miyazaki, and who first comes into my mind when I think of someone who uses animation in may different ways to tell his stories. Miyazaki has many famous animated movies including Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and many other great films. He mostly directs his movies, but his style of animation can be noticed in almost all of his movies and adds his signature to them. Through his career he founded his own studio known as Studio Ghibli which helped him create his very well animated movies. Before he was the founder of this studio he was a manga artist and had hopes of entering the animation career. One of his first animation jobs was at Zuiyo Eizo where he worked on scene setting and scene composition. He went on to continue working on stories and began to become more of a director of animation. Miyazaki chooses to stick to hand drawn animation which takes a very long time. However the studio made its first CGI animated movie in 2020 called "Earwig and the Witch", which embraced the help of technology. Miyazaki has been in retirement yet he has come back to work on a film titles "How Do You Live?" which goes back to his traditional hand drawn animation.
