    it's crazy to me that out of all the anime I've seen so far, end of eva is one of the only ones to proficiently use film techniques throughout and it's like 25 years old or something? you don't have to like the story to appreciate how talented the people who made this movie are

      @@handyherbcock4497 Satoshi Kon, Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Oshii, Isao Takahata, all of them studied film as a medium(informally or formally) and utilized advanced techniques.

      Apollito, animation always uses cinematic techniques, they're just translated to the animated medium, so they are a little different and difficult to notice maybe. I reccomend Every Frame a Painting's videos about Satoshi Kon and Mamoru Hosoda to reflect about this (those videos are brilliant).
      As said in this video, in animated works nothing in the frame is random, ever, and everything has to be decided first. If anime didn't follow some movie rules they'd just appear as some amatourish thing. So: don't underestimate anime and animation!
      If you want to see some very cinematic anime authors I reccomend Kon (Perfect Blue, Paprika) and Hosoda (Wolf chilidren) as said earlier, but also Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) , Takahata (Grave of the fireflies, Only yesterday, Princess Kaguya), Otomo (Akira), Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop) and obviously Miyazaki. I think all of these have nothing less then most of the famous Hollywood filmmakers.

      pretty much all the late 80s/90s movie form anime did akira, ghost in a shell, satoshi kon films etc
      the 1999 hunter x hunter also had alot of beautiful animation and scene composition

      Yeah a lot of the greatest filmmakers use storyboards for their films, but in animation you have to storyboard so they know what to animate.

    The pacing can be slower. Extending your videos to 6 minutes would be good enough to allow you to clearly explain your points better, whilst not having a long video. Visual indicators like arrows pointing to what your talking about can help a lot too.

    • @NickTalksFilms
      @NickTalksFilms  Год назад +1

      Thanks! Basically how I did that was I got a video from Evangelion of just the flashes, and then I masked out frame by frame the shapes cut out in the original Evangelion title cards. Below was my own title card, so once the animation is over it would reveal the text. Once I did it once I could reuse it for however many titles I wanted. Hope this helps!
