Ghibli Picnic

Super 8 home movie film, warm amber cast, gate weave, dust and scratches, light-leak flares, soft hand-painted animation influence. Sunny afternoon. A grassy hillside with a checkered picnic blanket. A person leans back laughing, holding up a sandwich, a basket and thermos beside them, clouds drifting. Swaying grass, butterflies, a lone tree. Warm daylight. Silent-era jitter, family-archive nostalgia, 24fps.
