Kaptain Kristian on Hayao Miyazaki

in

Kaptain Kristian is one of the best YouTube essayists out there and this video on Hayao Miyazaki, the genius behind Japan’s Studio Ghibli’s animation studio is an excellent example.

He draws out how Miyazaki uses the tools of sound, space and sparingly used music to create unique atmospheres in each of his films. The video itself is a masterclass in how good these essays can be.
