Through this partnership, students were empowered to push Jeep, as a brand, forward into the future, with a focus on electrification and autonomous driving. Gravity Sketch wanted to frame the project so it was relevant to car design and Stellantis chose the brand Jeep. Gravity Sketch was keen to engage students with their new VR creative tool, and I happen to be one of the early pioneers in the use of that tool at ArtCenter - it was a natural fit. But in this case, we have a partnership between Stellantis and Gravity Sketch. Marek Djordjevic: In a course like this, we typically host one industry sponsor. Interview with instructor Marek Djordjevic:ĪrtCenter: Can you share more about what makes this course so unique? This offered the community real time access to the innovation and techniques used by the students to arrive at their final designs. In an ArtCenter first, the project was documented in real-time across social media, as students were encouraged to post regular updates of their design process using #GravitySketchJeep. While Avatar remains its own work - masterful in all respects - fans ought to remember that, without the creative inspiration of other work like that of Studio Ghibli, some great works of art would never be created.In this 14-week sponsored studio, Gravity Sketch (a 3D design platform) and automotive manufacturer Stellantis teamed up with ArtCenter students to create the next generation Jeep Wrangler for a new realm of electrification and autonomy in 2030. After all, both Avatar and Ghibli's body of work feature the conflicts of industry and nature, humanized villains with understandable motivations, as well as phantasmic spirits that bring myth to life. No doubt a lot of the story was, in part, influenced by Ghibli. This begs the question how much of Avatar's nuanced, complicated story was inspired by Ghibli's films.
It is obvious that Studio Ghibli inspired the creation of Appa. When Avatar first came on, many fans were quick to notice the obvious anime influences on the art style and everything.including, most notably of all, how Appa looked like he emerged straight out of a Miyazaki film.Īppa's design is very reminescent to that of Totoro and the Cat Bus. Avatar: The Last Airbender is often regarded as one of the best western cartoons of all time.
