Clever Camerawork in Animation

GHOST IN THE SHELL - 1995


This is a really nice silhouette. A shot WITHIN a shot. It has a cool sense of balance and tranquility and isolates the character.


KUNG FU PANDA - 2008


The bright burst of Orange contrasts well with the dark blue background and draws the eye towards the action. The background seems to stretch out eternally, yet the orange light offers a sense of warmth and comfort.

PAPERMAN - 2012


This shot has brilliant depth. The background stretches out and fades and the audience's attention is brought to the main characters. The shadows are bold. The shot is simple, straightforward, and the camera suggests that the two characters are equals.


THE IRON GIANT - 1999

"The Iron Giant" uses broad, sweeping shots and dolly zooms to show scale. The giant is often shown from a low angle, from Hogarth's perspective.
