I Animated Myself into a Studio Ghibli Movie! 😲

[@CrimsonNashi]

Your animation really blend in well. As someone who haven't watched any Studio Ghibli movies, I would've mistaken this as the original and then be confused when I actually watch the original if this vid just shows the final animation. The hard work is highly commended!

You should definitely animate yourself in "The secret world of Ariety" next time. The scenes and the colours in the movie are just so pretty!

[@Marionette3744]

Question: What would be the reason your character is with Mei and Satsuki? Would you be a random stranger waiting for the bus, or would you be their big sister or babysitter or something?

[@ArtisticAne]

10:00 I do that so much! I found it easier to just assign the edited frame to where you were going to put the copied frame, then assign the copied frame to where the original was.

[@michimasenznik2329]

My name actually appears in the movie "my neighbor totoro", in the beginning and ending of the movie, in the songs. You can here it if you listen to the song in Japanese, My name is Michi, by the way 道. P.s. in Japanese you read the G like J, but usually people that don't live in Japan say Studio Ghibli like, you say it, it's not a mistake😊

[@JessySav]

😂❤

[@yumeh2960]

I don't think anyone will read this but Ghibli was the reason I started pursuing art and my mom introduced me to watch Totoro for the first time when I was 4. Then my dad showed me your 'how to draw manga in manga studio for begginer' as an 8 year old kid and you became my first inspiration and teacher to draw manga that I even write you 'in 'my idol' assignment!! So seeing both my favourite artist animate herself in my favorite movie brings me joy!!! I recently got a KZbin account after my dad's permission and subscribed to your channel. I hope you kept on inspiring many new young artist and creating more wonderfull art!!🥰💕

[@AwesomeDoggy88]

It's been a while since I've watched my neighbor Totoro, but I remember it being awesome! I really like your art in the animation, it fits so well

[@Firefly_Light]

I was waiting for another "drawing/animating myself into..." video and here it is! I love this series so much, I think it's my favorite. No, actually, I'm SURE it's my favorite, cause I even tried this challenge myself! I recently drew myself into my favorite anime. At first I thought it was going to be obvious that the screenshot is fake... But then I send it to my friend group pretending that I found an anime character that looks like me, AND THEY ALL BELIEVED ME HSHHSHS I had such a good laugh about it. After some time I revealed that I drew this character into the scene, and at first everyone was totally shocked HSHSHS I was laughing like crazy. I'm definitely doing it again soon. Oopsie I wrote a paragraph again. HSHHS Hope you enjoyed the story tho. Just how much I enjoyed the video! The animation looks really good!! The 7 hours of work were totally worth it!! 💜💛💚 I already can't wait for another video 💛💛💛

[@virpixyt2145]

Aww good job! What anime did you draw it into :o

[@Firefly_Light]

@@virpixyt2145 It was ,,A Place further than the Universe"! It became my favorite anime right after i finished it. It was wholesome, inspiring, I loved all of the characters and oh my God I cried like a baby because of it. I recommend it so much 😭💜💛💚

Some fun fact you can make it rain in Ibis paint just go filter/FX then go to the end then press movie so you can see the the word "Rain"

[@Toxic_dandysworld]

I knew this already but thank you for this

[@SzumeiLittleLightOfLove]

Ah! You poor girl. Having to redo the frames(?) must have been so frustrating and tedious. Thank you for all that you do for us (and for your family, too). The animation looks so beautiful and you really look like you belong there! Ooooh, I so hope that you animate yourself into “The Secret World of Ariety” another time. That one is my favorite! And my brother wants to see you animated into “Black Clover” (the anime) and “Howl’s Moving Castle”. Whatever you do, I look forward to it. We love you, Rebekah!

[@Love2DrawManga]

Thank you so much!!

[@ThatOneGirlMayzie]

That was interesting! Now that I look back the animation in studio ghibli movies are really good! And you mimicked it really well! Nice work 💖

[@Love2DrawManga]

Thank you!!

[@Doodle_Mice]

Have you considered filming yourself doing the movement for better reference? That's a thing animators do to help them capture the motion in a more natural way. You should try it out! I think it would be a good help!

[@Love2DrawManga]

That's a good idea!

[@savibanana]

I've never seen My Neighbor Totoro so from the opinion of somebody not accustomed to the show, this looks like it fits very well. The main thing that looks off to me is the skin on your face, looking bright compared to the rest but that might just be me. It also still looks a tad crisp, though now I wanna try sending that animated clip to somebody who's not in the know and see if it tricks em

[@tc4331]

While I do love it whenever you include yourselves in cartoons or animes, I do have a critique. How you draw eyes. If you look a bit closely, it looks more like how you make eyes compared to other animes. Not saying that its bad, its unique! But if you want to make some of your art completely like the anime, look at the eyes carefully. Like for this one, your eyes are a bit too big compared to Mei and Satsuki (in my opinion). Your art can also look a bit stiff at times too. Other than that, it looks exactly the same! Everyone still has a lot to learn, so I hope this critique helps you in a way.

[@orangeishorange]

This is so cute! I have been watching you for a few years and you have improved so much! :D

[@Love2DrawManga]

[@venomsfate6032]

Wow... You finally, did not just draw, but animate yourself on Ghibli Movies. I have been waiting for this for a very long time. I knew, someday you would do Ghibli Movies. I mean, every Ghibli Movies are my favourite. Don't know which to choose apart. 😅 You did great. It was very nice to see you drawing one of my favourite movies. I know I can't watch you much due to school and exam. But always supporting you. Keep on inspiring yourself and everyone.

[@9ightdreamer]

I think you should definitely animate yourself in Spirited Away! Its my favourite Ghibli movie since that's the only one I watched because Little Nightmares is actually inspired by Spirited Away. Cant wait to see future projects!

[@FalFur101]

I think you should animate yourself in Arrietty!!! I could see you being a friend of Shou(or Shawn if your like me and watched the Disney Dub) or a Borrower exploring with Arrietty :) Also you did really great with Ghibli's style!!

[@InnerVerse-S8mmy]

I remember trying to draw my character into ROTTMNT with the help of your “drawing myself in a show” videos. It was really fun even though it looked bad 😅. These types of videos make me smile ^^

[@_its_gl]

Aww! This was really cute!! I’m glad you finished it despite the setbacks because it ended up fitting in really well!! Great job! Also, I’d love to see you draw/animate yourself into Avatar: The Last Airbender :))

[@rdbrooks9306]

Arrietty has been one of my favorite movies and my favorite Ghibli movie since I was little I'm excited to see you animate yourself into it if you do later! This one was amazing ^ ^ Also I say Ghibli with a G too I never thought it was wrong 🤣

[@vanilla4628]

Maybe just commented right as it came out but I’m still intrigued

[@stariizodi]

I feel like adding the bounce in your character makes it stand out a lot more, but it’s just a small criticism. I love that you’re constantly improving :)

[@etheralangel4]

I loved that movie it was so great! I haven’t even watched the video yet I already know it gonna be great >3

[@BBkiny]

I think you did a really good job! However I think the animation you made was a little too fast compared to the original gibli one, like your chatacter moves faster than the others. But other than that it's great!

[@ch0colatec0ff33]

I can't wait to see how these turn out! I really love your animation videos!

[@cassieweddle1722]

I would love to see you in the movie "The Secret World of Arrietty," I think that would be great!

[@onyxwolfreaper21]

When I saw the irl pic, I noticed your hair looks a lil shinier than normal (possibly bcuz lighting). Idk sorry for the weird notice but overal the animations are so cool^^! Edit: All I can say for doing animations, you need a massive amount of motivation, dedication and patient to create beautiful animations. You did really great despite still learning the ways of animations^^! One thing for sure is to know 12 principles of animation, every animators must remember this or it'll heavily affect the quality of animations they want to create..

Having watched only Ghibli clips from friends, I can say that if I didn't know that was an altered clip, I'd have just accepted it as from the studio! Thanks for sharing your ups and downs, and also your mistakes as you learn. Its so encouraging to have someone share what they get wrong, and what they get right!

[@gay_lemon5105]

u did great! the coloring and lighting really fit in! but do remember that all frames were drawn sepretly. as a studio ghibli fan i love to reconize all the little detail and effort they put in. it would give it a more stylized look of hand-drawn.

[@okanoko]

Wow! I never thought you would animate yourself into a viedeo! I am surpised. I want to do or be able to do things like that, too!

[@girl1213]

I can see you/your character helping Tatsuo with the girls since his wife is sick and Mei and Satsuki enjoying having a big sister figure that is able to see the things they see.

[@sunnywonderland]

OOOH!! I definitely recommend animating yourself into Howl's Moving Castle. It's one of my favorite movies and I think you would look absolutely amazing in it!

[@yabbistar]

It would be really cool if u animated urself into an anime scene but u add ur voice in it too so u can animate urself talking to the other characters😄

:O i heard Studio Ghibli was one of the best anime studios ever! Never really watched a movie from it, but I heard its good! Nice animation!

[@RedStarBoi416]

I'd find that fantastic, especially the animation that you've done on this video!

[@queenzelda]

Of course its going to take you longer to animate yourself into My Neighbor Totoro. Hayao himself is very much a perfectionist when he is studying how he wants his characters to move in a movie. It's interesting to see your process. Keep it up!

[@mahreen.]

Can you try animating yourself into haikyuu or Gauken babysitters? You have drawn yourself into those two animes and I really loved the designs.

[@SprinkleGirl]

This seemed so complicated! Props to you! Also you could try animating yourself into Disney animated films or series! The animation for those cartoons are way simpler then Miyazaki so you'll probably be able to do 2 =)

[@Musujin]

The animation is so Cute!❤

[@drewo.127]

I had no idea Arrietty was a Ghibli movie, but it all makes sense now considering the animation is just stunning, and kinda resembles various screenshots I’ve seen of other Ghibli films! I remember watching it when it was distributed (and most likely dubbed by) Disney! I can’t say for certain if I saw it in theaters, but I DID see in on our cable provider via On Demand. I love that movie, and I think Disney and Ghibli did a great job, but if there is a version that doesn’t have the Mouse attached to the project, (Subbed, Dubbed, or both,) I’m most certainly watching it again!!! The visuals are stunning and I’d love to watch a version that’s 100% all Studio Ghibli!

[@SnizzyGaming]

don’t know if your doing this idea again, but id love to see you animate yourself into ponyo, it’s my fav ghibli movie and to me it’s different from all the others 🙌 fantastic vid as always 💗💗

[@tawnyacosta9091]

Aww this is so cute! I love it. I’d love to see you do more of these. Maybe animate yourself in a scene of the Pokemon anime. The scene can be you hanging out with Nando as he played his harp, then you both see Ash, Dawn, and Brock and go over to them 😊

[@daybreak_ofc]

Editing yourself into Princess Mononoke would be legendary-

[@Luminous_Edits4u]

Oh, when I hear other people pronounced it they pronounced it something like "GI-BE-LI"

[@just_tenshi1895]

Ooh, that was excellent!! Great work on the animation. That exporting truck does seem really useful, imma try that. Another anime I'd say would be a cool challenge would be dragon ball or dragon ball z. It's not really the type of show I think you'll like, but it has a good amount of scenes to try, it doesnt have to be animated It can be just illustrated but I think it would make a great video

[@chrissyr8387]

I love your animation. You blend into the scene so well.

[@nezakuhar1485]

Wow you animated it so well!! I absoluetly love it 🤩✨✨! Also i have an idea for the video if you're interested! What if you draw a character based on a song? I think it would be a really fun challange

[@miles-inchat]

The animation fits well in terms of style and such, I would consider adding a bit of noise (like static) to your art because the movie is old and you can see a bit of noise over the movie. The only thing that makes it obviously edited in to me is that certain frames are a bit more obviously a transformation of former ones, making it look much more digital. Obviously it'd be way more time consuming to draw every unique frame but that would give it more authenticity.

[@haybell3537]

This looks so believable they could literally hire you !!!

[@ahemahem8106]

Woww! That’s amazing, it’s so smooth and the dedication to create this is impressive! One thing that kind of sets me off is the the bounce, I just don’t really think it fits with the studio ghibli animation. But still, it’s super good! :D

[@carolinecheney]

You did good! You should try A Silent Voice or When Marnie Was There. Their both pretty good.

[@NoonaStarShine3748]

Your animation is smoother than butter😧

[@KozDraAni]

I think I've seen somewhere that you can make a quick action or whatever they call it in clip studio paint where it's a preset defined action or number of actions that you use constantly and that would probably work well for your blurring so you don't have to do so many steps for each you could just hit the quick key on each frame. Looks fantastic by the way 😸👍🏻 still willing to commission some animation from you if you ever want some extra cash lol you do fantastic work!

[@sudioyu]

Its great!! Maybe a noise from your character would satisfy it?

As an animator (almost expert…) 😅 I’m at the midpoint, and you are doing SUCH A GREAT JOB SO FAR! I’m excited to see the end result and I’ll update this when I finish your video! Update: Saw the whole vid now, and while the movement of course isn’t exactly like the rest of the scene, the design, blending, compositing, and the movement in general, regardless of accuracy, is just so good! For a first time animator, you clearly have learned a lot! Keep it up Rebekah (is that how you spell your name?) As for a suggestion for another movie or show, would you like to try Invader ZIM? The exaggerated and over the top style of that show (and Netflix movie, though that style is a bit more cleaner and vibrant compared to the more rough, jagged muted style of the TV show) could serve as a cool contrast exercise to the style of Ghibli! Also, on the topic of learning animation… Have you heard of Gartic Phone?

[@TsukikageBloodrage]

[@yoxhivmoxhi6653]

Studio Ghibli was supposed to be pronounced Gi-bli (like grapes) because it was named after a plane(Caproni Ca.309), and that is the pronunciation of the plane’s nickname. However, Miyazaki ended up mispronouncing it as ji-bu-ri, which was used officially. Therefore, either pronunciation is technically correct. :)
