2-14/15 PRINCESS MONONOKE [Backstage]w/EnglishSub

In this 14th episode of the 2nd series, Miyazaki manages to finish the original version of the storyboards on the day before his birthday (since a revision he had spent a whole week for wasn't favored by Ghibli staff he decided to take the original version. Please refer to the last episode that is 2-13/15 for more details), only to find out Producer Suzuki giving No for that. Suzuki suggests Director to revise it and furthermore, to kill Lady Eboshi in a revision.

After a consideration, the (2nd) revision is to get extended by 15 minutes, that means extra 3 months' load of work for Studio Ghibli. Miyazaki feels guilty and does not only his own parts but also the others' such as layout work. Actually it's no wonder he's good at the layouts since that's what he used to be doing for a long time while working under Director Isao TAKAHATA (高畑勲: Miyazaki's long-term senior colleague and the former co-head of Studio Ghibli).

In the latter half of this episode we'll witness making of the mysterious Nightwalker (or ''Daidarabocchi'' in the Japanese folk tales meaning ''a giant man'', though here in Princess Mononoke Nightwalker is what Shishigami or the forest God alters into at night ).

Enjoy this great series anyhow then ( ;

I belive the techniques used for the night walker is the same as the shading and light effects for "who framed roger rabbit", interesting.
