Spirit Away

Spirit Away

I thought that this animation was really well done. The details throughout this movie were great. Some details that were good were the shadows of the people and the ghosts. These ghosts were well created and the shadows had an creepy sense to them. Going off the ghosts the way that they are created shows a lot about them. The opacity is dropped down so one can see through them unlike the humans in which the opacity is all the way up and they are solid.

Another detail is the water when the main character goes down the steps. This water splashes onto the steps and creates wakes that are being produced by the wind that is occurring.

With the water the is coming to show there is a reflection. This reflection is of the city in the distance. The lights form the city are beaming down onto the water. The lights are not solid thought, they have a glimmer because they are being distorted by the water. This makes the reflection more realistic.

The final detail that I enjoyed was when the two characters were running. The running was shown with everything around them as a blur. This helps to create the sense that they are moving at an extremely high pace and that no one can catch them.

Images are not the only thing good about this animation. The sound that is added helps everything come to life. For example the rain which is down excellent hits the buildings and makes the sound that rain should make. This helps the audience understand what is happening and gets a sense of the surroundings.

This movie seems like it is a good one and has a lot of interesting elements to it.
