Chapter 425: Restrictions
"Five Centimeters per Second" is positioned as a feast of [soul] and [vision]. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"[Mind] is the plot of the whole animation, showing the mental journey of different characters in three different chapters, [Sakura Copy], [Astronaut], [Five Centimeters per Second], the mutual attraction and separation of the protagonist Takaki Tono and the heroine Akari Shinohara, [Astronaut] The secondary protagonist Hanae Sumita interprets the story as a secondary vision, and the final [Five Centimeters per Second] chapter is the essence of this animated film, the agreement and relief of the male and female protagonists."
"The way the animation plot is expressed is very scattered, and at this time, the way the character's inner monologue becomes the most important means to tell the whole story, and what undertakes the plot is the character's lines, splicing the scattered scenes."
"Vision is the main way of expression of the plot, including presenting the inner changes of the characters, amplifying the inner emotions, etc., using the scene to contrast the character's mood at this moment, and the most important thing is to consider the degree of fit with the lines."
"The main visual consideration is the style of painting······
"Reality can't restore the best painting style I think, animation is not done by myself, even if I put forward the concept and give reference samples, the production team still can't complete the ideal painting form, and increasing the animation budget and manpower investment is just to ensure that this painting form can be restored to the greatest extent in reality."
"Then the key thing that needs to be carefully considered in terms of painting style is the use of animation shooting lenses, and different lens shooting methods will present completely different scene effects."
"How to use the art of the lens to increase the expressiveness of the scene..."
In the study, Kamiya, who was sitting on an office chair, slowly opened his eyes, and the information excavated in the consciousness space poured into his memory like a tide, and in the consciousness space, he finally completed the original storyboard of the entire animation of "Five Centimeters per Second". The animation is slightly longer than the original, with a total of 80 minutes, and the lines, drawing, and camera use have changed greatly, and these factors are also the charm of the animation "5 Centimeters per Second". Habitually optimizing animation according to his own aesthetics, Yu Kamiya does not divide himself into a top animation supervisor, he is truly standing on the shoulders of giants to create better works than the original.
The remastered version of "Five Centimeters per Second" in his imagination has completely surpassed the original in all aspects, with [Mind] and [Vision] as the starting point, the so-called [Mind] is the plot touching the audience's heart, [Vision] is naturally the picture of the animation, these two points are independent of each other and affect each other, basically in either side can not ignore the other party, after completely controlling these two points, the production of the reset version of "Five Centimeters per Second" is a pretty good animated movie.
Kamiya sat up straight, pressed the mouse on the desktop to turn the computer back on, and at the same time whispered to himself the conclusion in the consciousness space: "The biggest difficulty in the production stage of the animation project of "5 Centimeters per Second" is still drawing, which is not the same thing as TV animation. ”
"Madoka Magical Girl", "Magical Girl Naye", "Fate/zero", these works produced by the [Edge of the Sky] animation production company are all TV animation, although the style of painting has been greatly improved compared to the original, but Kamiya Yu has never focused on making animation, painting is one of the forms of animation, and it makes no sense to pursue details after reaching the required qualified level, and most viewers will not even notice the subtle differences.
Only the animation of "five centimeters per second" is more special, painting has become the most difficult point of this animation, not purely considering the delicacy of painting, style, the scene of this animation is one of the important means to express the mood of the character, directly speaking, painting has been associated with the core elements of this animation, then it is very necessary to pursue pure perfection.
Yu Kamiya found a problem, his understanding of animation was actually out of touch with the real world production part.
The ideal of the ultimate perfection of consciousness space is a level, and the field that his personal level can reach in reality is a level, and then in reality, the [Youzhikong] animation production company officially puts into production is a different level. Just as it is impossible for him to replicate his painting in reality as perfectly as in the space of consciousness, it is impossible for others to replicate his personal level of painting.
In this way, the situation is a bit awkward, in order to ensure the best effect of painting, he has to expand the investment of capital and manpower, and he is not able to effectively measure the changes between levels.
"Maybe it's a good idea to hand over the background to Inspector Kumamoto."
Yu Kamiya suddenly had such an idea in his heart, the resolute attitude of Kumamoto Alice in the hospital really made him shake, compared to himself, Kumamoto Alice's level surpassed ordinary people but did not reach the point of being out of touch with the overall animation production level of the industry.
"Let's put it on, the scene painting has been decided, so all we need to do now is draw the finished animated storyboard." Shaking off the distractions in his heart, Yu Kamiya opened the drawer of his desk, took out an electronic drawing board from it, and began to use his consciousness to complete the storyboard of the entire animation of "Five Centimeters per Second" on it.
The content of his drawing of the "Five Centimeters per Second" storyboard is very complicated, and it is judged that the storyboard is extremely inappropriate, and there are only a few stick figures in the general animation storyboard, and then the key scenes are described in words, and it is the original painting after it is revealed, and the middle is an animation, and the background is responsible for the special personnel of the art department. In the last world, the [Ghibli] animation studio has been meticulous in terms of animation storyboards, and when Master Miyazaki draws the storyboards, he will have complete character expressions, movements, and even background details, which is already comparable to the original painting.
Originally, Yu Kamiya's hand-drawing stage was to learn from this industry giant, and it was better to say that it was a storyboard than an original painting that compressed a large amount of information together, and the original art department was responsible for splitting and understanding. Now Yuu Kamiya's ability to draw is very proficient, and the level of storyboarding has once again crossed a major bottleneck, so that both quantity and quality can be taken into account, and if you add lines to his storyboard, there will be no obstacle to reading it as a manga.
As he sank into consciousness, the computer in front of him operated on its own, even without any manipulation.
The drawing software on the computer screen quickly opened, and then you could see a lot of completed animated storyboards placed there, these are the experiments that Kamiya Yu imagined in the consciousness space and then tried to return to the real world, most of them are waste drafts, and a small number of them can be reused, and the differences in the details on the rectification become the official storyboard of "Five Centimeters per Second".
Yu Kamiya's eyes stared blankly at the computer, the drawing software on the computer screen and the electronic drawing board placed on the desktop were synchronously drawn, and all the animation storyboards in the consciousness space gradually manifested as the painting was completed. In an instant, it seems to be eternal, and all the information recorded in the consciousness space surfaces on the surface of consciousness and is captured by Yu Kamiya.
"It needs to be rectified here, the biggest problem is the way of shooting, highlighting the key points from far to near, and then stretching the lens to present the whole big scene, which should be composed of two shots, the first time to use the near and far shots, and the second part is to integrate the protagonist's vision to depict the scenery he sees."
"Here... Lines need to be revised. ”
"Attention: Reflections from the metal parts of the ground when coming out of the train."
"At the end, the close-up of the male protagonist's relieved smile connects the picture with turning around as the camera."
Soon, Yu Kamiya extracted useful storyboards from the waste manuscripts, which took up almost half of the length of the animation "Five Centimeters per Second", after all, it was his hard work for more than a month. "Five Centimeters per Second" is expected to be only 80 minutes in total, and the amount of storyboard painting is basically the same as the content of five episodes of TV animation, and the problem of complex painting is not a problem at all.
After a busy day, Yuu Kamiya felt that his spirit was obviously weak, and the animated storyboard of "Five Centimeters per Second" was unconsciously completed.
······
"Di Di ~"
In the study, the electronic alarm clock placed on the office desktop rings, reminding Yu Kamiya that it is time to stop painting.
Yuu Kamiya's attention was detached from the inside of the computer, and he returned to reality for a moment in response to the subtle attraction coming from his body, which was very subtle, as if a slight electric current was flowing through his body. Kamiya Yu sat up straight, stretched out his right hand and pressed the electronic alarm clock to stop the prompt, turned his head and looked into the distance, and could see that the sky outside the window was completely overcast, only a little afterglow sprinkled on the edge of the distant city, pulling out the shadow of the elder.
"It's only six o'clock, and it's already dark like this, it's better in summer."
Kamiya stretched his waist, yawned and stood up and left the study, and came to the bedroom to carefully push the door in, and in the dark room, Kamiya Dome could be seen curled up on the bed, wearing loose and comfortable pure white pajamas all day long.
"Click."
Kamiya Yu stretched out his hand to turn on the soft light next to the bedroom door, but she didn't expect that just a slight sound and light disturbed her, Kamiya Qiong supported his body with his hands and lay down gently, his silver-white hair slipped from his shoulders, and his pajamas were messy and inadvertently revealed jade-white delicate skin, she looked around and focused on Kamiya Yu in front of the door, and covered her lips with her little hand and yawned and said softly: "Yo, what time is it." ”
Kamiya Yu simply brightened up the normal wait, and said with a bow: "At six o'clock, I plan to make dinner." ”
"Well, I'll help then." Kamiya Qiong's eyes were slow for a while before answering, slowly getting down from the soft bed, and as soon as he came to Kamiya Yu, he stretched out his hands and put his arms around his neck and said coquettishly: "Yo, take me to the living room." ”
Yu Kamiya pinched her smooth and soft face, squatted down and hugged her light delicate body and laughed, "It's not that I'm here to help." ”
"Give up, I'll only make a mess of Yu in the kitchen anyway." Kamiya Qiong's small face showed an attachment and shy smile, and her delicate body struggled a few times to find a good position and buried her head in Kamiya Qiong's shoulder, biting her teeth lightly to express dissatisfaction, and every time she woke up, it was the time when her emotions were the most delicate.
With the princess holding Kamiya Dome to the sofa in the living room, after gently putting it down, Kamiya Dome stretched his waist and hugged the rabbit doll on the sofa into his arms.
"It's a pillow."
Kamiya took the pillow not far away and put it beside her, and sure enough, she lay down comfortably on her side and lazily nestled in the sofa, just a change of sleeping place.
"Yo, TV." Kamiya Qiong held the rabbit doll and stretched out his right hand.
"Where's the laptop?"
Kamiya Qiong shook his head and said lightly: "Today is the Red and White Song Meeting, and the TV is better." ”
"Yes~ Yes, here you go, I'll cook first, and then watch it together after eating."
Hand the TV remote control at the counter to Kamiya Dome,Kamiya Yu walked to the refrigerator and took out the ingredients and began to prepare dinner,This day happens to be the New Year, you can prepare some meals with a "New Year's flavor", the so-called red and white song party is the Chinese Spring Festival Gala, the content is not interesting for the time being, the important thing is that the family can get together to watch this show.
The Red and White Song Festival is organized by NHK (District 11 Broadcasting Association), and its status is equivalent to that of CCTV in China.
The Red and White Song Club basically represents the peak level of singing in the 11 districts, and the people who can appear in the Red and White Song Club are all popular singers or teams, and different groups are carried out, such as women in the red group, men in the white group, and compete with each other, and the winners and losers are determined by the voting of the guests, the audience, and the telephone voting.
Originally, the Red and White Song Club was an idol singer for real existence, and in recent years, with the expansion of the influence of animation, animated songs have also been added, but generally animation is a niche in the Red and White Song Club, and animated songs are almost not popular except for some national-level works.
The "Lovelive" muse team of the last world animation and reality synchronous idolization project can be considered a recognition of the popularity of "Lovelive" to be able to participate in the red and white song party, and it is also mentioned that "Lovelive" participated in the red and white song party before the scandal news of Takasaka Hono fruit voice actor Nitta Keikai, if the scandal breaks out before the red and white song party, not only the muse group exploded, but it is estimated that NHK TV stations are spiraling to heaven without discussion. The cancellation of the appearance is a nail in the coffin, and further punishment is still to be discussed, and the timing of the scandal is too coincidental, so many people speculate that NHK is worthy of being the industry leader, and it may be that the Nitta Huihai scandal has already been exposed, but NHK forcibly suppressed it.
The singer scandal that broke out during the Red and White Song Festival is equivalent to a head-on challenge to NHK's position as the leader in the industry, and the tabloid newspaper and the forces behind it that broke the scandal will definitely be eradicated by the red-eyed NHK.
You can peek at the popularity of idol culture in District 11 from the Red and White Song Club, Kamiya Yu can't help but have the idea of moving idol animations over, as long as the characters are set up and the songs are pleasant, then idol animations don't need any effort to become popular, and it is not an exaggeration to say that if idol animation becomes hot, it is a matter of minutes and seconds to break through the miracle of the industry created by "Madoka Magical Girl".
"Madoka Magical Girl" can't be separated from the animation category after all, and the animation industry and the idol industry in District 11 are not at the same level at all.
The commercial value that idol animation can create is huge.,If you really make idol animation, Yu Kamiya will never consider engaging in some realistic synchronous idol projects.,There have been many examples of leading by example in the last world.。 Maybe there will be a lot less commercial value, the equivalent is less trouble, and he doesn't want to be attacked by fierce people with knives again.
