Moho Forum

I've always liked the opening sequence of the Nausicaä anime.
When I bought the manga I thought that the first pages were even more beautiful, so beautiful that I wanted to animate them.
Here is my humble tribute to Hayao Miyazaki, the man who was partly responsible for the course my life took.
I just wanted to share it with you.

Thanks for watching.



Layered with Krita
Animated with Moho
Composited with After Effects

This is really amazing work! I really love/appreciate the subtlety of a lot of the animation, the sound design, and the camera/page movement.

That's lovely work!

I love the movie too, but, while I have the manga series here, I have never read it. Your animation makes me want to crack it open today.

Thank you very much! Enjoy the reading

Wow! I like how you made the flyer look 3D. Very effective.

I'm glad you lik it. Thanks you!

This is really great work!

Very nicely done. Simple and effective in it's emotion

This is so well done. I wish book trailers were more like this. Also this could be the beginning of any comic-to-animation feature, slowly adding colour and abandoning the panel frames.

(We did that in "Werner - Beinhart" at one place: Brösel (the comic's author in the life action part was scribbling something, that was a BG layout (lines only), which then became colored and animated.)

I still don't know why but I'm deeply fascinated by motion comics and making animated book trailers is a very captivating idea .

In that case I recommend you contact some comic book/graphic novel publishers (like Fantagraphics - the established, more high-brow ones) and showcase this to them.

Thanks so much for the advice. I really appreciate.
