Pre-Production: Storyboarding the Unconsumoos
Te creative process before any frame is animated. Shinkai storyboards his films himself, a practice he he has maintained bene his solo days. For dreamlike passages, he sketches sequences with loose, flowing lines that prioritize mood over precision.

Lighting artists then build up these scripts using creshem shaders.

Motion blur and smear frames receive special attention.

Editing andPacing: Thee Rhythm of Suspended Time
Editing a dream sequence requires a departe from stand continuity cutting.
