At some point I will try an ocean scene again, but I will first draw the ocean to get a better understanding of the process. Because of that I ended up doing a lot of experimentation with this burning. I’ve never drawn an ocean scene before, so I wasn’t sure what I needed to do. I’ve often said that pyrography and drawing have a lot of similarities so if I can draw it, I can burn it. Keep in mind that this is my first attempt at creating an ocean scene and I’m going to admit that I’m not really pleased with the results. As an added bonus, I will also cover how I airbrushed the color onto the waves. This tutorial will cover the pyrography techniques I used to create the waves and give them a sense of movement. I’ve never created an ocean scene before and have wanted to try it, so this blog is all about that attempt. Taking everything into account, GKids decided that the film would not be embraced the same way other Studio Ghibli films were, and decided to cut costs by not producing a dub.A month or so back I was asked by Keith to write a tutorial explaining how to create ocean waves in pyrography. ![]() While times may be changing, an animated film geared towards a teenage audience is one of the worst things you could have, as most teenagers wouldn’t be caught dead watching a cartoon. ![]() In fact, the worst part of Ocean Waves was that the target audience was primarily teenagers. The movie was also mature and would not appeal to families. While the animation was pretty good, due to the TV nature of the project the quality of the animation was of much lower quality than you would expect from a Studio Ghibli film. The people in charge watched the film and felt a pit in their stomach: the movie was going to be a tough sell. When GKids acquired the catalog they also acquired Ocean Waves, and the studio took a hard look at the film. While Disney did obtain the rights to release the movie if they wanted to, they decided to pass due to the slow pace and more mature content compared to the rest of the catalog. ![]() It was a kind of attention that most studios wouldn’t give a “practice film,” but Studio Ghibli’s name means something, and they wanted to ensure that it still did even if it was on TV. This is due to the fact that Studio Ghibli has high standards for their films, and even a TV movie was given extra attention. Instead of being a cheap film that would be made in a shorter amount of time, the film went over-budget and over-schedule. This was the idea but, well…you know what they say about the best-laid plans. The higher ups felt it would be a great way to test out a new director and give the younger animators a chance to practice their skills and cut their teeth on a TV movie before moving on to the main features. The movie was planned as a television movie for Nippon Television, with the idea being for the studio to make a smaller film that would be cheaper to produce as opposed to a full theatrical movie. Ocean Waves is unique in the sense that it is a rare Studio Ghibli film that was not released in theaters.
