Chapter 187: This Return Means Advance (I)

The original painting, that is, the keyframe, is the basis of an animated film, and only with the original painting can there be the initial scene and all kinds of characters and actions.

Just like building a house, you have to have a foundation to stabilize the structure, and then you can start building the apartment or mall you want on it.

Therefore, in the process of building the "animation house", the original painting is the "original painting foundation", and its formal creation means the official beginning of the animation production.

In NG Animation, the first floor is an office space for color design, character design, background design, etc., and Mr. Minoru Muya, who is in charge of storyboarding, also works on the first floor.

Mr. Sato, who is the director of Zuò, is also calling other studios to see if he can find some animation companies that can help.

This is a kind of action just in case, that is, when the original painting or coloring can't be done, it will be outsourced to another company to deal with, which is called moving.

This method can minimize the postponement of animation production, after all, "5 Centimeters per Second" is only three or four months from the release of the PV to the announcement of the official release, which is quite a tight time.

For an ordinary TV anime, it takes at least three months to announce that it will be produced for at least three months before it is officially broadcast; At the same time, due to various reasons, it may even be delayed for half a year or even several years.

In other words, even if the PV of the animation is excepted, it does not mean that the animation will be played at the scheduled time.

For example, the delayed broadcast of "Arkid of the Dead Country" in the original world, and the theatrical version of "Wounded Story", which has not been played for several years, are typical examples.

The latter has entered a silent stage because of the 'All Monogatari Animation Project' supervised by Akiyuki Shinbo.,After a few minutes of PV, there was no more news.。

Thinking of this, Zuoyou remembered the PV of "Five Centimeters per Second" that he had watched not long ago.

It's a static PV.,It's not an animated PV.,That is to say, there are only characters and some background pictures in it.,It's just that the atmosphere brought by the music is good.。

The sadness of youth. The hesitation of love and the accidents in life experience are well presented.

If you want to talk about the success of an animation, then its PV will also account for a large proportion, and the more attractive the PV, the higher the attention.

For example, the PV of "Five Centimeters per Second" sets off the atmosphere of this work and the ideas it wants to express, which is a good beginning for publicity.

All in all, Sayou knows that the character design and background have a preliminary production and setting long before the start of the production of zuò.

It seems that Miss Suzuki, who is the character designer, and Miss Kinomoto, who is the color designer, are very good, and everyone is doing their part of the job seriously.

Any work has a certain degree of difficulty. Whether this difficulty can be overcome depends on the individual's ability.

Of course, this does not mean that people with low ability cannot work, because it is not forbidden to seek help from others when it comes to work.

It's just that the people in [NG Animation Club] don't seem to ask for help.,It's not pride or arrogance.,It's that you don't want to cause trouble to the other person.。

However, Sayu is well aware that this situation is also slowly being resolved, which can be seen from their daily lives and actions.

Sayu is not the kind of person who likes to guess other people's thoughts, but he is good at guessing the character of others through their actions.

So to speak. Isn't it like using cold reading to make up lies to deceive others?

Truth be told, there's nothing wrong with being a fraudster, after all, everyone wants to hide their own things.

For this reason, the fraudster is the kind of character who hides his identity, his thoughts, and the truth.

Come to think of it. Sayu found himself feeling as if he was talking to someone who looked like him.

It's just not right, because the machine qì people are not human, so they can't complete the real conversation.

Of course, there are really machines in this world that can pass the Turing test. It makes people believe that he is a 13-year-old boy.

The Turing Test - aka Alain. Turing proposed a way to test whether the machine had human intelligence. That is, suppose there is a computer that is very fast, has more memory capacity and more logic units than the human brain, and has written many intelligent programs for this computer. And provided a large number of suitable kinds, then, can it be said that this machine qì has the ability to think.

The method of the Turing test is that the person being tested, and one is a machine that claims to have human intelligence. During the test, the tester and the testee are separated, and the tester can only ask some questions to the testee through some devices, and these questions can be any kind of questions. After asking some questions, if the tester can correctly distinguish who is a human and who is a machine, then the machine qì will not pass the Turing test, and if the tester does not distinguish who is a machine qì and who is a human, then the machine qì has human intelligence.

In any case, Sayu thinks that people like their own machines do not exist zài.

This is not arrogant, after all, everyone is unique in the world.

But it may be a bit silly to say that, because the real uniqueness is not to be imitated, and to have the existence of achievement.

Yes, the definition of uniqueness should be - a unique person who has achieved and honored.

The loser is not unique, but rather a lot of people who are similar to it.

With this thought, with this idea that he may be unique, but he is not unique, Sayou walked up to the second floor.

The second floor is the space where the original artists are located, and the only original artist working here is currently Miss Mitani, and everyone else seems to have gone to work in their own homes.

No, there are a few artists working on a workbench not far away, and they seem to be the ones in charge of drawing the transition frames, which is also very hard work.

We all know that animations are formed by many pictures playing continuously.

An action is made up of many paintings, the first and last of these paintings are called the original paintings, and the rest of the middle parts are called intermediate paintings, also known as animations.

Animators have their own division of labor. Once the storyboard is finished, the concept work begins. After the original drawing is completed, the staff will start to draw the middle drawing according to the original drawing.

In animation creation, the middle painting is very important. Whether the movement of things is smooth or not depends entirely on the middle painting. (To be continued......)
