Yeah, yeah, there's no camera in anime, but for the lack of a better term "camera movement" is what we have. We've seen it all before, but that doesn't mean there isn't a time and place to use them. Hosoda knows when to.

you kinda feel like the every frame a painting of the anime community
ikr!
I wanted to write the same thing earlier. That is kind of like the biggest admiration he can get for his work.
+Ion Barbu Eremia Except EFaP actually has extensive knowledge of cinema
+Andras Nelhiebel The biggest admiration he could get would to not be measured against some one else's work. No one says Spielberg is the "Kubrick of family movies", there's just Kubrick and Spielberg.
+lubed virgin olives on maternity leave I'm not sure I understand. Can you think of a specific example where slower pacing contributed to a lack of purpose and cohesion with the rest of the presentation?
That...fucking...ending shot... ;-; well done Matt... You win!! Man I think your video has cemented it! Hosoda is bae!
+Otaku-Vs I'll never be able to top your editing or your creativity, so you win a dozen times over. The games over for me.
I always felt that the ending shot of the clouds was strangely empty, the same goes for the ending of terror in resonance. Now that you've overlayed it with your social media I feel complete.
I'm a fan of anime and I've never been able to understand why anime is such an underrated medium. There's so much to appreciate, but apparently, it's so hard to get over the fact that these are "cartoons". Thank you, RCAnime, for shining a light on the artform for anime fans and non-enthusiasts alike.
Definitely not underrated, even six years ago it wasn't
In case people don't know the anime films shown they are: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, Wolf Children, and The Boy and the Beast.
Thanks!
All of these are flipping fantastic movies. Not just within anime, but in general. I could find shortcomings in each one, but overall I found each of them very enjoyable in different ways. If I had to rank them, here's what I would say:
4.) Wolf Children
3.) The Girl Who Leapt through Time
2.) The Boy and the Beast
1.) Summer Wars
But they're all worth watching at least once. That's for sure.
RCAnime is making some great videos. Keep it up dude!
Thanks! I was wondering what the fourth one was.
thanks buddy i was looking for it
Thank you ♥
I love the way you write, talk and how you make the illustrations fit perfectly with the meaning of your words.
It's deep and thoughtfull but humble.
Thanks !
same
+Grani Chon The thing that I love about his content is that he's ALOT less negative than other youtubers are.
I completely agree, too bad so few people watch the videos released by RCAnime... spread the word people.
+Grani Chon He takes his time talking, taking pauses that let you understand and integrate better what he's saying, and also making listening to it much more enjoyable.
You're definitely one of my favorite anime analysis creators nowadays. I really dig your sense of optimism and appreciation for the artistry involved in the craft! I really wish more anime fans appreciate the wonders of animation creation.
It's so very refreshing to hear the views of someone that isn't just simply a casual viewer, a hobbyist or an enthusiast of anime talk about the medium. The things we focus on from the story's, character's, animation quality and design's, soundtrack's, seiyuu's and enjoyment's point-of-view I feel are never this focused nor explained or even noticed most of the time.
People who read and write stories will more clearly spot and ponder about aspects relating. People who imagine characters and spot themselves into other's shoes are more easily able to see the world that other's live in. People who draw and design characters, backgrounds and the world will understand what colours and level of shading needed within a certain frame. People who listen to music and compose it will be able to hear and understand the hardwork to create such a magnificent track with embodies certain emotions. People who sing or use their voice will know how hard it is to alter the voice to produce different pitches and noises which in-turn help convey emotions of characters. And enjoyment simply stems from one or more of these aspects that we are able to pick up and if we aren't, some might seek to find out what other's have found that we have missed.
So, thanks for spending your time to understand and enjoy these things, and mostly share them with us. :)
I've noticed that Hosoda is a big fan of horizontal tracking shots. There's at least one standout shot like that in every one of his films (Makoto running, the family mourning the grandma's death, the drifting between classrooms as Ame and Yuki grow up, etc).
I was sure when you were talking about him not moving the camera, you were going to talk about Makoto's first intentional time leap, where she walks up the hill and the shot stays still for a long time before she comes back into frame running down the hill. I've always considered that to be one of my favorite shots from his films because of how gutsy it is to do that.
I love that shot as well!
thank you for making the content that you do.
I kinda feel like you're the voice our anime community doesn't deserve, keep up the great work though :')
What?
I really wish live film makers would more frequently employ a lot of these techniques. Many films nowadays just do things for wow factor or to make things impressive but they lack intentional storytelling and through the camera. You can see the intentionality behind many of Hosoda' s shots, choosing to move in ways that benefit the story.
Thank you, I never thought that I would find someone with the same passion and the same way of watching animated films.
This is really great stuff. I love Hosoda's work, and I agree with you about "one of the greatest scenes of all time". That scene makes me cry so much. It's so beautiful.
I'm a film student at the moment and this has given me a lot to think about in terms of how I view cinematography. Thanks for sharing
I like the way you edit your videos like short stories. The ending is always really fluid.
you're, no doubt, the best anime channel i know.
Your videos are educative and interesting, also, beautiful, really well narrated, and with an almost perfect edition.
keep on dooing your work because is incredible! I love your videos!
Your like the anime version of "Every frame of Painting" & I love it
Both of you make amazing analizes about high quality movie elements. Great job
Oh my gosh, wow, what a great great video! Thank you so much ! I've learned sooo many things about camera movements which my english teacher could have never explained to me as precisely as you did. I am ready to write a film analysis and hit the next english exam thanks to you and the best thing of it all is that I was able to learn all these things through anime :D
I can't express how grateful I am to you right know :D so all I can do is to thank you again.
Even just a few seconds of Hosoda's films' OSTs make me almost tear up.
this makes me feel a way i can’t explain
thank you for starting the video with the wolf children intro, i love the movie so much i get a smile and a chill down the spin everytime i hear it and remember hana waking up in the field as the movie starts. thankyou
Without a doubt, the best anime channel while I await the triumphant return of Demolition D. Great work as always. :]
+Vapid And what a glorious day that shall be.
Great video! Being a huge fan of Mamoru Hosoda, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I think you pointed out a very important aspect of good film-making, namely how camera movements can really affect how a scene plays out emotionally. I have noticed Hosoda's style of steady and slow camera movements and I think he does it to marvellous effect as it lets you soak in the mood that the characters are feeling as well as immersing you into the atmosphere and settings, something that a lot of films nowadays are lacking.
A really well put together video! You probably have the most clean and slick style I've seen on an anime channel. Keep it up!
Just started watching a bunch of your videos and at times I honestly feel like I'm watching a documentary. Keep up the great work.
RC you have been making great content from the start! Keep it up and I know you'll go far, the anime community needs someone like you who puts this kind of cinema knowledge and thoughtfulness into their videos!
I've found your channel and everything you make has helped me to appreciate every part of anime and animation in general. Your music taste is magical! I'd love to hear some more MF Doom in your videos haha.
The way you make your videos really shows how you love doing it and at the same time you are making a story in it. WELL DONE!
You have to continue analysis in filmmaking. It's really interesting and I'm always motivated after seeing one of your videos. Well done!
It's great to enter a comment section on youtube, and find every positive thing you wanted to type about the video and its creator already very well explained by others.
Such positivity out here, it's really awesome!!
I really like his reviews since they explain every single little aspect of the topic.
Whoa. Just came across this video and I didnt even notice how signficant of a difference it makes. Your style of narrating is hella good and fits with the video which had good editting. I thoroughly enjoyed this
I love your essays, they're really informative and educational! I love them.
Finally a video about Hosoda! :)
I don't know why so many people don't acknowledge his Digimon movies, though. Might not be original but it still has his very distinctive style, and it blew me away as a kid. I understand people who haven't watched it because they're not into the franchise, but I would expect to see at least a few shots of them when we're talking about a director's career.
The fact that they used "First Echo" as the opening song made my day
I love your new style of videos RC,it's really cool to see someone analyze the elements of anime like this, it sorta remids me of every frame a painting.
Continually getting better - editing, sound design, topic debate, everything wise - with each video, well done, lad! :D
You videos and the amount of effort you put into them are just amazing.
Great video! And you're totally right, that snow scene in Wolf Children IS TOTALLY one of the best scenes of all time! I felt absolutely THRILLED the first time I saw it!
Thank you for all the effort you put in, man! :D Your content is always top-notch!
i really like the way you explain so many details, and even sum up with your last comment, so it all leads to the point, plus helps us remember it all. also, very clever to use the camera move to bring up the youtube links in the end.
This was a pretty nice reflection, I think this helped me to understand more about cinematography shots and that stuff, hope I do it better now. Very nice vid!
Your content is just incredible, the quality of your videos always surprizes me
for me being an editor i actually found this helpful
You combined my two favorite things. Animation and Childish Gambino. Great video!!!
Great discussion and editing and sound and overall video, man!
Ay brother I really like what you're doing on your channel. I've been trying to study some cinematography and it can get boring sometimes but your channel keep its interesting. I like that you break down techniques of Anime directors. Also I'm consistently interested because having an anime reference, its more pleasing and lively to learn this way. Thanks for time and effort. Great work.
Last week I was in the cinema on Bakemono no ko. Superb experience. All the time spent on the animation really showed.
Just the mention of wolf children and summer wars make me tear up. Excellent work.
Friend,each time I see a new video of yours in my subscription box a big smile pops on my face,because I know I will enjoy it.Afterwards and as I am watching the video my heart warms up and I really like this feeling and the vibe your videos give.Thank you for doing this,I appreciate you and your work a lot,keep it up!
Great video! I love the use of Wolf Children's music. I don't know why, but that soundtrack always makes me feel so...at home.
There actually IS a camera. If you look at the history of the animation medium as a whole, you would learn a lot. One example is how there is a long stretch of background drawn and painted, then a camera slowly pans across it.
+Sarahmint Yeah, back when animation wasn't done digitally they used real cameras to shoot the cells and backgrounds together. If I remember correctly, Hideaki Anno used different kinds of lenses in some of Evangelion's battle scenes to convey a sense of distance.
+Alice of the evening I never heard about that. Pretty interesting, will have to look into it.
+RCAnime I once found a scene in SDF Macross were you can actually see the reflection of the camera lens which took the pictures.
Check out nerdwriter1's video on Akira. He explains the process in some detail
Sarahmint, yes, I remember seeing a documentary (many, many years ago) where they showed a technique that used multiple separate backgrounds. The more distant one was moved slower than the closer ones to give an effect of depth. The camera may have been stationary.
saw this, immediately clicked on it. i love mamoru hosoda and your videos :-)
There are times when i wish live action films had the type of camera movement anime has.
Seriously. I love this channel.
3:43
Time waits for no one,
Camera waits for no one
I love how at the end he pans to his end credit type things
Your work is incredible! Congratulation. Even if I don't understand all the video, I like replaying this for really understand your argumentation.
Good work ;)
Love is all I can give to u man.
Love how u do things
And love how I'm always entertained and always walk away with knowing something new
Thumbs up man
👍👍👍😄😄
"or deliver one of the greatest scenes of all time." People will argue. I won't be one of them.
I stopped the disc at the end of that scene because it was so joyful, and because I just knew that something bad was about to happen.
Thank you for your insightful videos. Everyone in the room is now smarter for watching them.
God, your videos are awesome! Thank you for making them, and keep up with the good work!
@ 3:01 you have great taste in music sir and have inspired something great that i may create now thank you
really well made video!!! Love it!!!
Just got back from finishing all of Hosoda's films and this kinda hit the spot xD
ohh dang you were the same guy who made the makoto shinkai- conveying time video!! wow
Idky but the ending scene brought tears in my eyes
This is so good...thank you so much!
I'm not even that into anime, I'm just a casual. But this channel is just so fucking interesting. It analysises stuff I don't even think about.
"All she needed was some." also great showcase on Hosoda and film in general.
It takes a genuine lover of anime to think about the camera movements in an anime. wherein there is no camera....
Keep making content, your videos get better and more compact!
Another amazing video! Never stop this awesomeness.
Oh god the Intro... i always have to cry to it
Damn this videos are very good, I'm surprised about the number of subscribers
You make awesome videos! Please keep on making them, they're really good.
When ever I watch your videos I feel really intelectual
I just love your work!
Great art, great music, great stories. I
really loves your work man, greeting from Indonesia
Right, sometimes taking things as simple as possible, makes the whole movie much more interessting
Keep the good work I really like your Videos. I am waiting when your work will be appreciated worldwide
Since I watched some of your vidoes over the course of the last month, I finally subsribed. =D
Well, now... RUclips knew I would like this... and it was right. Time for another subbin'!
very nice channel for people who want to go deeper than just the anime.👍👌
Great video as always!
such a prrfect video!! thanks, made my day!!
You made a good content again. thank you!
Dammit, there you go trying to teach me something again. Thanks!
damn I really need to see a mamoru hosoda film huh...
Boy and the Beast in my local cinema next week so definitely gonna go see it
Damn I cried sooo much watching Wolf children
Your excellent comments also apply to dance videos, all the way from high ballet to Babymetal. The video people who are supposed to be professionals constantly feel the need for constant cuts and change of angle. Everytime they do this they add a new movement to choreo that is not part of the dance.
A good fancam is often perferable. I wish more artists were aware of this. You are right about Hosoda. He lingers on a scene to effect. I dont think he can make a bad movie.
imo one of the best using of camera direction is every kyoani ever. they use it better than any anime studio. madhouse and shaft are also good with camera direction.
I really like your style of videos! Keep it up!!
I think I found a new anime RUclipsr. Well-done, checking out your other videos now.
His new movie Belle and its soundtracks are mesmerizing.
you said "Argentina" and im just so happy
Dude! Your videos are great
I like this video. just a piece of art alone !
When you showed footage of MoS and BvS and refered to it as shakey cam, thats actually called handheld cam. Shakey cam is alot more violent. Saving private Ryan is a good example of how to use handheld cam
+SoundClash Handheld and shaky cam are more or less synonymous. It's just a technique where the camera is being held by someone's hand to give a dynamic sense of the event being recorded live. Shaky cam is often tagged along with more overt handheld camera moves, and Synder's recent films have been in this weird place where it's passed the point of typical handheld (Minority Report) and found footage level handheld (Cloverfield). It's somewhere in between, and it's uncomfortable to watch it in a narrative it doesn't have any place in.
that song gets me everytime
Great work dude! :)
brilliant again
