Renowned anime* director Hayao Miyazaki is currently working on a short film that will be made entirely with computer graphics (CG). It will be the first time for Miyazaki to produce a work solely with CG. The revelation was made during a speech by Toshio Suzuki, the Studio Ghibli Inc. producer who has long worked with Miyazaki. The 74-year-old director had announced his retirement from full-length film creation two years ago. The short piece will be based on “Kemushi no Boro,” a full-length project that was planned before production began on “Princess Mononoke,” which was released in 1997. The short will be 10 minutes long but take three years to complete. (SD-Agencies) |
