The coronavirus pandemic has forced people to reassess what’s important and adjust the way they conduct their lives.
With widespread lockdowns in place and people getting antsy about being penned up at home all day except for important errands, there are those who have drawn comparisons with how animals and pets have been caged.
Suddenly, working from home has become a viable option that’s not limited to freelancers on gigs. Companies and individuals alike have discovered just how much a job can be done remotely and for the most part, that’s a good thing.
Apps like Zoom, Skype, and Microsoft Teams have allowed a productive virtual workspace that many would never have considered before the coronavirus hit. Of course, one of the challenges is where to set yourself up so that you don’t inadvertently show your co-workers the miserable mess that is your living room or bedroom.
Thankfully, Studio Ghibli thought to help out its fans by releasing 12 free virtual backgrounds from their most iconic films that people can use whenever they’re video conferencing. Not only does it prevent your partner from accidentally photobombing your video conference but it also provides a stunning backdrop that adds a little more personality to your calls.
If you’re an anime fan then you would have heard of Studio Ghibli. The backgrounds were taken from scenes from the studio’s most well-known titles including Kiki’s Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Princess Mononoke.
The backgrounds come at the default size of 1920 x 1080 but the size can easily be customized according to your app and you can even trim the images if necessary.
It’s a great way to showcase just how much of an anime fan you are and who knows, you might even find some kindred souls among your co-workers while you’re at it.
