On the third day of the creative inspiration, Yu Kamiya has completed most of the animation of the close-up shots of [Kyoko Sakura's Smile], considering that the dubbing and editing process will further compress the production time, Yu Kamiya, who is already anxious, plans to hand over the animation that has been drawn but has not had time to be colored to Gosan Ruri for color processing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info [Sakura Kyoko's smile] from the storyboard to the original painting, and then from the original painting to the animation, after several revisions, finally reached the level of Yuu Kamiya's ideal.

Animation Department

Yu Kamiya came to the office desk of the fifth watch and said hello: "Black cat, are you free these days?" ”

Dressed in a black gothic suit, the five watch Liuli sat at the desk, engrossed in drawing the original painting into a more detailed animation, it was Xiao Meiyan who took out the animation shot of the firearm, the original artist had already drawn the key frames, and she needed to complete the middle frame as an animator, originally the fifth watch Liuli was not responsible for this part of the process as an animation supervisor, and I don't know why she took over this part of the work. Wugen Ruri didn't notice Kamiya Yu's footsteps, so she was startled by Kamiya Yu's voice: "Brother! Don't quietly appear behind others~ Really. The workload of the animation department is not very much now, but the problem on my brother's side has been solved? Wugen Liuli put down the pencil, sat directly in the office chair and turned to look up at him and asked with concern, she also knew that Kamiya You's mood was abnormal during this time.

From the perspective of Kamiya Yu, you can see that the original painting drawn by the five more glasses does not have a strong personal style, but it is very suitable for the painting style of the original painting of "Madoka Magical Girl", which shows that the five more glasses are already an excellent original artist. During this time, he rarely assigned the original painting topics to the five more glasses, because the five more glasses far exceeded the ordinary original painters in terms of the understanding of the original paintings, and all that was needed was the accumulation of experience gained through time to synchronize the knowledge they had.

"Pretty much."

"Can you show me the animations you draw?" Yu Kamiya didn't explain his intention for the first time, and looked at the animation on the desktop with interest.

"Yes, Teacher." Wumore Liuli naughtily spit out a small fragrant tongue, picked up the animation on the desktop and handed it to Kamiya Yu, Kamiya Yu took it and flipped through it with his eyes showing appreciation: "Very good, although there is no trace of progress in the painting, compared with the past, you can still see the subtle differences in the whole, and there is a lot of progress." "The most important test of a concept artist's attainment is often not the skill of painting, but the mastery of the overall structure of the original painting, and most of the differences between a rookie original artist and an experienced original artist are like this.

Hearing Kamiya Yu's praise, the shyness on the cheeks of the five more glasses was not obvious, and he sat down in front of Kamiya Yu and smiled happily: "Hmm~ I want to respond to my brother's expectations, so I have been practicing harder during this time." It's so nice to hear my brother's words, I can't see any difference even when I compare my previous works, and I thought I hadn't gained anything all along. ”

――Why is it in front of them that it's the second cute girl?,Become a soft girl in front of yourself.,It's not interesting at all...

"Hehe, so that I can also leave this part of the work to you with peace of mind."

Yu Kamiya muttered helplessly to herself in her heart, subconsciously rubbed her black hair behind her and raised the stack of documents in her hand and continued: "These animations are the source of my troubles during this time, and I want to leave this part of the animation to you to paint." This is a prototype of the finished animation, and the style and color of the template should be as consistent as possible. ”

Wugen Ruri took the unpainted animation draft completed by Yu Kamiya, opened the folder and flipped through it page by page, and finally couldn't hide the look of surprise on his face: "All of these?" ”

"Yes, any questions."

Wugen Liuli shook his head lightly, and said in a complicated tone: "I just feel that the number of frames is too much for one shot." ”

These animations are the source of Yu Kamiya's troubles during this time?

Five more glass contemplation to look at each animation, these animations are different from assembly line products, with a strong personal style, if it is produced, it must be a completely different style from the feature film of "Madoka Magical Girl". It's too detailed, it's too unique, there's so much in it that she can't depict in terms of animation. When Gogen Ruri connected these animated contents together in her mind to form an image, her little hand holding the animation script trembled slightly, and she suddenly knew the reason why Kamiya Yu was distressed during this time.

She is the creator of Sakura Kyoko's character, all the ideas in her mind, all the imagination seems to be able to resonate with this smile close-up, just from this smile close-up, she can clearly feel what kind of character Sakura Kyoko is. A strange thought came to the mind of Ruri Gojo, and the close-up of this smiling camera may give the soul of the character of Kyoko Sakura in the hearts of the audience.

Wumore Liuli's eyes were soft, and his little hand stroked the smile of Sakura Kyoko on the finished animation and murmured: "Brother, Sakura Kyoko's smile is a little different from what I imagined, no~ Maybe it's more perfect." ”

・・・・・・

On the fifth day, Yu Kamiya took the edited animation to the sound department in charge of Shindoji for the final dubbing and audio and video synthesis session.

In the audio processing room, Yu Kamiya and Shindo Tsukasa are checking the problem of dubbing animation.

"Oh, this is the close-up that stuck you in a bottleneck during this time, although I'm not in charge of the animation, this part of the painting looks good, and it feels a lot better than the previous animation." Shindoji looked at the silent painting on the screen and praised, anyway, he is not a painter or an audience, and he expects him to say something meaningful, and it is estimated that his head was broken by the door panel.

Yu Kamiya, who was sitting on the side, rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Don't make such a casual evaluation of other people's hard work for a month, even if it is praised, it will not make people feel happy." ”

"Haha, it's a shame that you can catch up with the time, the day after tomorrow is the time for the seventeenth episode to play, it seems that our audio department may have to stay up all night this day." Shindo said with a nonchalant smile, all the sound departments in the industry are in such a state, when making animations, they are usually idle enough to go to work and play games in the first half of the month, and the second half of the month is so busy that they can't complete the task overnight for several days in a row.

After that, it's the same as the normal dubbing process.,After the voice actor comes to the sound department, he first explains what needs to be modified in the script and then starts recording the sound.,An interesting episode occurred during this period.,Even the voice actor Yuko Higashiki was extremely surprised to see the animation close-up with a completely different painting style.,So much so that I didn't have time to dub for the first time.。

This recording was a lot of trouble, with Yu Kamiya himself personally directing and talking to the voice actor face-to-face, the work that can usually be done in one or two minutes was extended to more than two hours, and the lines were recorded hundreds of times, and instead of feeling unhappy, the voice actor of Kyoko Sakura was more attentive because of the quality of this close-up, listening to all of Yuu Kamiya's requests until he recorded a voice that he was satisfied with.
