I think you'll find some of what you're looking for in
Seirei no Moribito. There are distinctive long shots in some episodes, particularly
20 and, to a lesser degree, 13. In addition, the scenes with water, like streams and pools, are much more realistically rendered than in most anime, which reflects the importance water plays in the story line.
Twelve Kingdoms relies on close-ups of faces to compensate for the absence of motion photography in many sections. Youko's face and eyes are often illustrated in close up to portray her emotions in key scenes. Also panning is often used to add motion to scenes that are otherwise static.
