Right Places is a short 2D animation done by Mateusz Urbanowicz as a part of his final year at Kobe Univesity in Japan.
What I find really interesting in this short animation are beautifully painted backgrounds, based on actual places that can be found in Kobe.
Plot concentrates on a young college student, who, suddenly, starts to see weird creatures around. Since backgrounds are very detailed, characters and creatures were simply cell shaded and fit perfectly. Character animations were done in traditional way, with pencil and tons of paper, later cleaned - up and colored in Photoshop (coloring step by step video for one of the shots).
It's a really good animation, inspired by Makoto Shinkai work, and definately worth watching. As for my little project - I'm not going as crazy with backgrounds as Mateusz, mostly because I'm not skilled enough for that. However, Right Places are going to be a source of inspiration for future projects.
