Chris’s Corner Episode #122 Makoto Shinkai, Building Worlds Where Fantasy Meets Reality

This week on Chris's Corner I speak on the animation director Makoto Shinkai. After I first watched his 2013 release of Garden of Words I was hooked and wanted more. In this podcast I explain how Makoto Shinkai utilises sound, visuals, connection, and story telling to build films that connect with audiences all over the world. Rather than go into each of Makoto Shinkai's films (5 Centimeters per Second, Garden of Words, Your Name, and Weathering with You) I tackle the common themes throughout each one. On top of that, I try to connect the dots between each of Makoto Shinkai's films and how they evolve to make next film that much better. Finally, I explain Makoto's Shinkai's true unique story telling form that brings elements of reality into his films that make you feel like you could be there too. As always, I hope you enjoy this week's podcast, and I'll see you this time next week!
