Light Reflection & Vision

Lola on Instagram: "🎬 Fun Fact: The Garden of Words (2013) Director Makoto Shinkai paid extraordinary attention to the natural environment, especially rain. He and his team recorded real rainfall in Tokyo and studied how light reflects on wet surfaces. This meticulous observation was translated into the film’s animation, making the raindrops, puddles, and reflections so realistic that many viewers mistook them for live-action shots."
