Chapter 82: Trailer
At the beginning of December, the animation studio went through the adaptation period for new employees, and as the production progressed, the tacit understanding between Yuu Kamiya and Uehara Eizuki gradually strengthened, and they were no longer surprised by Yuu Kamiya's whimsical ideas and requests. In particular, the understanding between Chixia Yuki and Yu Kamiya is extremely important, if Chinatsu Yuuki can't understand what Yuu Kamiya means, or if Yuu Kamiya can't clearly express his demands, then "Yellow: Ash Paradise" may be misused in terms of shots or special effects.
The two weeks are as busy as the production of "Mr. Onigiri Superman" for the animation studio, even during the lunch break, everyone will get together to discuss the details of the animation, or the difficult solutions encountered in the lens effects, or the texture details of the building in the big scene to express the style, or the subtle changes in the expressions of the characters during the battle, etc.
THREE OF THE FIVE COMPUTERS IN THE OFFICE ARE REGULARLY USED FOR RENDERING OF THE MAYA 3D MODELING SOFTWARE, AND EACH COMPUTER IS WORKING 24 HOURS A DAY FOR MORE THAN TEN DAYS.
Why is there such a rush? Yu Kamiya plans to release "Yellow-Ashen Paradise" on December 25th, which is a Western-style Christmas holiday around the world, and "Yellow-Ashen Paradise" is his Christmas gift to fans of "Red-Crescent Rose".
It's just that "Yellow-Ashen Paradise" is really good in conception, and all kinds of cumbersome and complicated problems emerge in the actual production, or it can't achieve the effect that Kamiya Yu expected, which greatly slows down the overall production schedule of the animation. If it weren't for [Rim no Kong] or no Yuki Chinatsu, he wouldn't have dared to imagine that "Yellow-Ash Paradise" would be completed within this year.
"Yo, come and see how well this shot is performing? Flame warping effects and animated camera transitions have been added as you wished. Yuki Chinatsu, who was sitting next to Yu Kamiya, muttered intently, and played the 3D footage several times in a row, but it always felt that it did not reach the level that Kamiya Yu wanted.
Yu Kamiya glanced at it and continued to draw the storyboard at hand and commented, "No, the fireworks effect doesn't make people feel the impact, so it's best to modify and render it manually." ”
"Ah~ By the way, you can appropriately add the whistling effect of air friction."
At this time, Aoi Morishita walked in from outside the door, walked behind Yu Kamiya, and reported in a helpless tone: "Yu, Mr. Shindo's side hopes that you can come over for a while, and I need you to listen to the music yourself." ”
Kamiya Yutou didn't reply: "Understood, please help me call Mr. Xintang and tell him that I will take time to go tomorrow at noon." ”
"Okay." Aoi Morishita turned around and went to another office to make a call.
When everyone seemed extremely busy, Uehara Ezuki unhurriedly brewed a few cups of tea and put them on the desk one by one and smiled lightly: "I need to take a break once in a while." "The amount of work that Uehara is responsible for is definitely not easy, but she is always leisurely and quiet, but the part she is responsible for is never completed early. Compared to others, Uehara Emitsu is a real master original artist, and his experience and ability are far behind Kamiya Yu.
Yu Kamiya, who put down the original paintbrush in his hand, rubbed his sore shoulder, and drank the warm tea handed over by Uehara Ezuki in one gulp: "Thank you, Uehara-sensei, but now is not the time to rest." ”
"Yo, how many days are left until the release date." Yuuki Chixia next to him asked casually.
"It's best to do it by the 20th, and then five days for the show to check and release the trailer." Kamiya Yu thought for a moment and said.
"Isn't there more than enough time!" Having said that, Chinatsu Yuuki stared intently at the screen, and her slender and petite hands quickly manipulated the mouse and keyboard to make a second manual modification to the scene that was automatically rendered.
Kamiya Yu shook his head and smiled, "In the industry, this is not more than enough. He was talking about animations produced in the Japanese animation industry, which are usually produced a month before they aired.
Yuki Chixia stopped what she was doing, sat on the office chair and stretched a lazy waist, then looked back at Uetsuki Kamihara and asked unceremoniously, "Eizuki, do you have any lollipops over there?" Now my brain needs to be replenished with sugar. ”
"What do you want?" Uehara asked with a smile.
"Strawberry milk."
"Then I'll have one too." Kamiya Yu rubbed his dizzy temples and said, the brain does need sugar to replenish energy under the high intensity of the brain.
・・・・・・
When making the animation, Yu Kamiya had not forgotten the agreement with Uehara Eizuki - to win the first place in the monthly popularity ranking of the original art section of the animation section of the "fake book" website.
When Yang's character was decided, he was thinking about this question all the time, what kind of original painting should be needed to bring out Yang's charm or cause a chain reaction?
Using a tragic scene as a backdrop to show Yang's fierceness and wildness? Or do you focus on the portrayal of the characters and directly depict the characters in the most exquisite painting style?
It's all too monotonous.
When is a warm, cheerful person more attractive? Yu Kamiya's own answer is: when you cry. The strong contrast and the resolute crying that wipes away tears are things that can move people's hearts, but at the same time, they cannot simply portray this scene, and must incorporate more plot elements.
So how about setting a background for him to change the magic? Yang and Ruby Rose are half-sisters, and when she was a child, she ran away from home with Ruth only to encounter the monster Shadow Wolf and was rescued by their uncle at the last moment, but Yu Kamiya erased her uncle's character in the background setting of Ruby Rose.
So what should be used to fill this gap?
There is a setting of the goddess of the four seasons in the world of "Rwby", although Yu Kamiya knows this even though he didn't read the plot after the death of the original author, and judging from the foreshadowing, it should also be the original setting of the original author Monte Um.
Based on this situation, Kamiya Yu plans to change the background and give Yang the inheritance of the summer power in the Goddess of the Four Seasons - the Immortal Bird Phoenix ability, which explains the source of Yang's blonde power and the vacancy caused by erasing his uncle as a background character.
The tone of the original painting is thus established, with a dazed and sad blonde girl holding her young sister and looking up at the flaming phoenix in front of her, while the wolf of shadows beside her is burned to ashes by the blazing flames.
"I have tried to respect the original work as much as possible, and I hope that Master Monte um will not be angry when he sees it in the Heavenly Spirit." Yu Kamiya muttered silently and began to sketch the scene he had conceived in his mind on the original drawing paper.
This original picture is also the trailer for "Yellow - Ash Paradise".
