Makoto Shinkai is one of the most consistent artists I've ever seen.

新海诚是我见过的最具一贯性的艺术家之一。

Known for his exquisite cinematography in animation production, Shinkai, however, believes content remains his core strength.

新海诚在动画制作中以精湛的摄影而闻名，但他认为内容仍然是他的核心优势。

After endlessly searching, I did manage to find one of the real locations that Shinkai used as a model.

经过不断的搜索，我确实找到了新海诚模型的现实场景之一。

Robert Califf and Kanade Shinkai said the fact there were high levels of the chemicals in blood does not mean they are unsafe.

罗伯特·卡里夫和卡纳德·新凯说，血液中的化学物质含量高并不意味着它们是不安全的。

There are so few other names that stand as tall as his, and although often compared to Miyazaki, Shinkai's work could not be more different.

除宫崎骏外，很少有人可以与他相媲美，尽管常常被拿来与宫崎骏相比较，新海诚的作品却截然不同。

In 1999, Shinkai released the film that would put his name on the map - Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko (She and Her Cat).

1999年，新海诚发布了让他名声大噪的电影《她和她的猫》。

At the Berlinale, Shinkai mentioned that China could eventually leapfrog animation powerhouse Japan on the global stage, as he feels China is more " energetic" .

在柏林电影节上，新海诚提到，中国最终可能在全球舞台上超越动画强国日本，因为他觉得中国更“有活力”。

In 1998, Shinkai released his first-ever short film, which was entirely self-produced using nothing but his own illustrations, Lightwave, and Adobe After Effects for 3D compositing.

1998年，新海诚发布了他的第一部短片，完全是使用他自己的插画，以及Lightwave和Adobe After Effects进行三维合成制作的。

All thanks to Shinkai and the rest of the anime industry for their passion to blur the lines between animation and reality.

这一切都要归功于新海诚和整个动画产业，对模糊动画和现实之间界限的热爱。

Disaster has become a prominent symbol in Shinkai's movies, as shown in his 2016 movie Your Name and 2019 film Weathering with You, both popular in China.

灾难已经成为新海诚电影中的一个突出标志，如他2016年的电影《你的名字》和2019年的电影《天气之子》，这两部电影都在中国都很受欢迎。

Despite the film's science-fiction setting, Shinkai somehow managed to tether the viewer to the ground, where he looked up at the stars in awe.

尽管电影存在科幻背景，新海诚还是设法将观众牢牢地扎根在地面上，同时仰望着天上的星星。

Where Miyazaki's films aim to transport you into another world to escape from the problems of our own, Shinkai works to ground you as firmly as possible into reality.

宫崎骏的电影旨在将你带入另一个世界，让你逃离现实中的问题，而新海诚的作品则努力将你牢固地扎根于现实。

By this point, Shinkai was already a household name as far as anime is concerned and known for his unique realistic style referred to in Japan as " Shinkai world."

此时，新海诚已经成为日本动画的家喻户晓的名字，以他独特的现实主义风格被称为“新海世界”。

Due to hardware limitations, he was still working in greyscale, but the five-minute short does wonders at showcasing Shinkai's style, from his portrayal of weather to the way he meticulously showcases Tokyo.

由于硬件方面的限制，他仍在使用灰度，但这五分钟的短片展示了新海诚的风格，从他描绘天气的方式到他细致地展示东京的方式。

This is the first of Shinkai's films where he began to claw beauty out of the most mundane everyday sights and put them on display from a perspective only he can capture.

这是新海诚电影中第一次将美感从最平凡的日常景象提取出来，并以他独有的视角进行展示。

And I believe that Shinkai played an important role in popularizing this method of storytelling to the point where, nowadays, using a fictional location in an otherwise grounded story is the exception rather than the rule.

我相信，新海诚在普及这种叙事方法方面发挥了重要作用，以至于现在，在一个以真实地点为基础的故事中，使用虚构地点已经成为例外而非规则。

Three years later, Shinkai comes out with Hoshi no Koe or " Voices of a Distant Star" , which took the world by storm, winning a ton of animation awards and, in my opinion, laid the groundwork for all of his future work.

三年后，新海诚推出了《星之声》，该电影在全球掀起了轰动，获得了大量动画奖项，并为他所有未来的作品打下了基础。
