Ive already blogged about this in my studio practice blog however want to go into a few more details. Its a short movie of only 40 minutes however this is not detrimental to it in the slightest. The story follows a young boy in his last year of middle school, with a dream to become a shoe maker and he believes he won't get any where by staying in his school so on rainy days he plays truant, going to the park to practice shoe making and design. There he meets a young woman in her mid twenties drinking beer and gorging on chocolate and from there the story develops. It is unclear if any romantic feelings come from the pair but the two do become close, with out actually realising that they already knew each other prior to their meeting. The story goes on to follow the troubles that the young woman faces and how the boy helps her over come this.
Now the important part the animat- SCENERY! The backgrounds and scenery are stunning in this animation. When i first watched it i had to do a double take on wether or not it was a live action film. No, its photo realism. The application of the animation is incredible it has beautiful fluidity and the pastel highlights and lines make it so much more appealing with a soft touch to the cold rain.
If i could get to a point where i could animate and draw back grounds to that standard id be a very proud animator. However i have no talent for photo realism so all i can do is work towards developing my own art and animation, unlike applying new and interesting concepts like Paprika the fantasticalness of this film lies in the extraordinary visuals in a very ordinary setting.
