i don't know what i'm doing,

no matter what style,

 will never stop creating

and searching myself my art.

Someone's Gaze (だれかのまなざし)

Someone's Gaze (だれかのまなざし) 

Directed by Makoto Shinkai

Eng sub can be turned on in the Caption tab.

But wow. Since his first one man film 'Voices of a Distant Star' which i had watched with much awe for his quality and his heart in the story, he has went and did many beautifully crafted films as director with a team til now. He also is involved in games and also illustrations. One of the films i have enjoyed the most, is  "Neko no Shuukai", a one minute short for NHK Ani-Kuri 15 program. 

Below is the makings and Makoto Shinkai, enjoy :) and Japanese animation will not have been sustained without the creators, the teams, the marketers and of course, the audiences who wants stories on their screen in a different form from live action drama/movie.

The fact that they accepted me for who i am, I want to treasure them.

Gobelins 2013: THEY HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!

I have always look forward to Gobelins' short films and Annecy's promos since the day i have heard of them. They are the few animation groups/schools in the world that can make me this excited for Animation, Styles, Stories and Ideas besides Japanese Animation. Especially when the American and Singapore animation industry as a whole is dominated by 3D. 

Still, Gobelins shows us possibilities of the joy and beauty of animation be it 2D or 3D through their amazing students. If possible in my life, I will like to go to Annecy and see the festival with my own eyes.
