So I was comparing some bbcf frame data on dustloop last night and I was curious to see if anyone ever bothered to add frame data to bbtag. I went through some characters’ overviews out of boredom. Here’s the highlights

Bonus:

^ This is the current roster 😂. All the designs are based on TouRabu and Kotonoha project aesthetics. Mizutsune, Nargacuga, Teostra, Great Girros, and Lagiacrus are probably up next 🤔

“We have a word for that in Japanese,” he said. “It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally.”

Is that like the “pillow words” that separate phrases in Japanese poetry?

“I don’t think it’s like the pillow word.” He clapped his hands three or four times. “The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb.”

Which helps explain why Miyazaki’s films are more absorbing and involving than the frantic cheerful action in a lot of American animation. I asked him to explain that a little more.

“The people who make the movies are scared of silence, so they want to paper and plaster it over,” he said. “They’re worried that the audience will get bored. They might go up and get some popcorn.

But just because it’s 80 percent intense all the time doesn’t mean the kids are going to bless you with their concentration. What really matters is the underlying emotions–that you never let go of those.
