Helping out is easy: 29th of July second update, MIYAZAKI GORO TALKS LAYOUT: Last weekend the opening of Studio Ghibli s latest exhibition called Studio Ghibli Layout Designs: Understanding the Secrets of Takahata/Miyazaki Animation took place. Taking place from July 26 till September 28 at Tokyo s MOT, none other than Miyazaki Goro is supervising editor of the exhibition and Yomiuri Shimbun had an interview with him. Miyazaki Goro: It is the final blueprint containing information to make a cut like camera work, camera speed and the position relation of characters and backgrounds. When seeing a layout, every section staff can understand what they should do. We make layouts to whole of each cut. So there are about 1400 layouts in both Hauru and Chihiro. I heard this system was consolidated by Takahata and Miyazaki during their work on Alps no Sh jo Heidi , Heidi, Girl of the Alps back in 1 Question: Why was such a system needed? Miyazaki Goro: The biggest purpose is maintaining quality. Generally, as animation is produced by a division of labor, blueprints were needed to give a movie the sensation of unity. For a year long that TV series note: Heidi was aired every week, so the production had to be done in a very short amount of time and such a reasonable system was needed. During Heidi, most of the layout was done by Hayao. Question: What kind of indication is concretely written in it? Miyazaki Goro: It contains a lot of information. For example, if the chimney smoke is cel animated or CG, if the background picture is place only behind or both behind and in front, how many layers of clouds are needed and so on and so on Question: Those pictures are drawn carefully, despite they are not being shown to people outside the studio. Miyazaki Goro: On the surface they might seem to be just pictures, though they form the hidden secret of Miyazaki animation. Basically, picture composition should be drawn on rules of perspective. However, Miyazaki animation ignores it consciously and accentuates what we want to see with human eyes. Therefore the space often twists. However, as it is close to the sense of human eyes, we do not feel it as something strange or unnatural. On the other hand, Takahata tends to be faithful on keeping perspective. He does not want the audience to be dragged into his world. Some people have the impression that Takahata s are cold or inaccessible unfriendly, though it is intentional. Question: What is needed on making layouts? Miyazaki Goro: The ability of grasping space. Even if he or she accepts the rules of perspective or not, it is surely needed to know the original form. Question: Then that is your home ground, because you experienced building architecture and landscape architecture? Miyazaki Goro: For Gedo Senki I checked about 1, 200 cuts of layouts and thank you for smoking trailer about 400 by myself. However, to tell the truth, it was groping. In those days, I used to read Hayaos e-konte and got to know it was already a perfect blueprint. I worried about how much I had to do in layout. I realized the importance of layout after seeing the finished pictures and feeling unreasonable. Question: What kind of advice did you give on this exhibition? Miyazaki Goro: Not so much. Some proposals about the arrangement of pictures or the value of quantities. As Chihiro has the most cuts, putting the layouts all over the wall was a better way. I did only little. To tell the truth, it is presumptuous to thank you for smoking trailer I am supervising. Miyazaki Goro: Yes. Simply speaking, it is like The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Although it is a very attractive work, I had the strange feeling of wondering if it is possible to keep being attached to it. That is my honest impression.
