A 4 second crowd scene took Studio Ghibli animator Eiji Yamamoto 1 year and 3 months to complete.

Fascinating how they invest so much time in seconds of footage. Really shows there's no shortcut to excellence, just patient dedication to getting things right.

Studio Ghibli's commitment to excellence shines through. Truly inspiring. Very very few would ever try this now.

While I appreciate putting in the right amount of time to get proper quality, over a year for a 4 second throw-away scene means you're bad at your job.

talk about dedication! artistry isn't just a skill, it's a testament to patience and passion. imagine the stories hidden in each frame.

It is truly art though.

sorry fellas but I really don’t think it was worth it

beautiful lost art...

Wow! So much time!

Crazy. AI will probably change this if it hasn't already. Although I'm not sure I want it to.

Spirited Away will always be my favorite of his films. It’s absolutely brilliantly done and the story is a lesson for young and old alike.
