[OUTLET] The Boy and the Heron – Studio Ghibli Storyboard Complete Works 23

The Studio Ghibli feature film “The Boy and the Heron” directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which opened on July 14, 2023, and became a major topic of conversation, is his first long film in 10 years. The film includes all 603 of the director’s hand-drawn color storyboards!

In Miyazaki’s works, where a written script does not exist, the storyboard serves not only as a production document but also as the script and a storyboard with written camera work. The storyboard is like a blueprint for the movie. It details character movements and psychology, dialogue, sound effects, and directions to the staff, allowing an understanding of the director’s intentions and can be enjoyed as a beautiful and dynamic picture story.
