![]() ![]() Continuing into the production section, “Making the Scenes, Layout and Process” follows the basic process of making an animated film, from key animation, ink and paint to photography. This whole book is a real feast for the eyes, easily one of the most colourful volumes in the Ghibli Library – and that’s saying something. My favourite part of this chapter was getting to see some early, very different iterations of Arrietty herself, giving us an idea of how her character might have ended up had the film gone in a different direction. To be fair, though, this was his first time directing a feature, so it makes sense that he’d want to rely on the experience of his elders, and his own work speaks for itself, being every bit as vibrant, intricate and charming as that found in any other Ghibli film. There are numerous comments along the lines of, “I was thinking of doing it like this, but Miyazaki didn’t like it”, etc. Snippets from the director intersperse the sketch collection presented here, and I couldn’t help noticing how much Yonebayashi deferred to others – particularly Miyazaki – throughout the process, despite being the director. They each get a small bio, as do the rest of the key artists from here on out, a small but important detail which I’ve appreciated in previous Ghibli art books. Next, we have the pre-production section, which includes a variety of sketch work from the preliminary concept and production stages, done mostly by Miyazaki and director Hiromasa Yonebayashi. There is also a small section devoted to the original book series – The Borrowers – and its author, Mary Norton. In the book’s introduction, we get a brief run-down of the project’s inception and its production schedule, with special mention made of the involvement of both Hayao Miyazaki (who co-wrote the screenplay with Keiko Niwa), and Cécile Corbel, a French musician who was the first overseas artist to work for the studio (serving as the film’s composer and songwriter). I’ve mentioned it a few times now, but I love the glossy printing quality on this series it really helps to bring the artwork to life. Inside, there are also a few pages of luscious backgrounds from the film’s garden before we even get to the contents page. ![]() The cover for this one is truly gorgeous, more colourful than the typical Ghibli art book and with less use of white space, rather like the one for Castle in the Sky. This one, the companion book to Hiromasa Yonebayashi’s Arrietty (2010), is the fifth book in my collection, although I’m hoping to add another later in the year – I have the English edition of the Kaguya art book on pre-order!
