I posted it because I read the piece posted on to ~anime about the background artwork of Ghost in the Shell. I really enjoyed the read because it went into depth on a subject I haven't heard a lot about but that I really love. It also mentioned one of my favorite studios: Studio Ghibli. I remembered seeing this and figured I'd see if there were people here interested in the production and philosophy that went into making some of my favorite animated works.
The idea of silence/nothingness/emptiness in film the way Miyazaki has done it has changed what I like in all film and storytelling. I like how it provides a moment of peace and serenity often missing from western content as a whole. When it is done well I feel there is equal opportunity for those moments to tell a story as a very busy scene in other stories/films.

Is this your video? I've not seen many video essays that are entirely text-based, but I guess it's fitting for how much of this is focused on silence. I'm not sure that the content of the video is all that enlightening, but presenting even 'obvious' points in a nice way is still worthwhile imo.
At the very least, it's a nice proof of concept, I'd like to see if there's any niche that text-based video essays can fill better than written essays or vocally delivered video essays.
