While computer animation has become the new norm, legendary Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki still relies on hand-drawn animation to tell his stories.
“We are still hand-drawing everything, but it takes us more time to complete a film because we’re drawing more frames.
Actually, we’ve been working on this film for three years, so that means we have 36 minutes completed so far.
[For] the current film that Hayao Miyazaki is working on, we have 60 animators, but we are only able to come up with one minute of animation in a month.
