Beautifully Made Studio Ghibli-Inspired Animated Concept Teaser NORA FROM ABOVE
I’ve got a fantastic concept teaser for an animated project titled Nora From Above that you’ve got to check out! It comes from writer and director Shawn Adeli and it’s beautifully made. The creator explains that the project is heavily inspired by the animated films of Studio Ghibli and you can totally see that in the finished product. Adeli said on Reddit:
I used to be obsessed with making Ghibli-style American animated films but was told there’s no market for 2D features. I made a teaser where you can really see the influences
The story follows a character named Nora who stumbles upon a fantastical world within the sewers. The video shows her as she explores this fantasy world and the creatures that reside there.
There’s always a market for great stories, so if that story is told in 2D animation, there’s a market for that! I love traditional animation, and it’s sad to see it being pushed out. At least animation studios like Studio Ghibli are keeping it alive.
