Producer - that is, the position of acting in Japanese animation, you need to guide the animation drawing and layout according to the script, so as to express the desired effect. It's a very vague profession, and the work it does is very close to that of a director, and many times it is concurrently held by the director. In the early days of animation production, the number of people involved in an animation was small, and it can be said that the painter was the performer. However, with the development of the industry later, the workload began to increase, and professional performances began to appear. Although many of the performances have been original paintings, there is no need to know how to draw original paintings for performances, and many directors and performances have painted all kinds of paintings.

The position of 'show' is often mentioned in the ED of TV anime, and the name storyboard appears along with it.

First of all, these two positions are different from ordinary supervisors, who are only responsible for the content of a certain episode of the anime (often a unit drama). The duties of the show are actually similar to those of supervision, which is responsible for deciding and reviewing the main content of the episode. Storyboarding, as the name suggests, is all about storyboarding. Both of these fall under the category of animated performances.

Generally speaking, the show will know the script in advance and then work with the series to create a storyboard, but this is not completely independent of the supervision. After that, it was time to start the formal storyboarding, and sometimes the same person was in charge of the storyboard and the performance. After the storyboard is completed, it will be handed over to the animation supervisor for review, and after the completion of the performance, the work will begin.

Initially, a meeting was held with the artist and the original artist to discuss the number of CUTs to be allocated, so that the artist could understand how to draw the scene and characters. After the sketch and other content are completed, it is the normal process of an animation production.

This time, it was Supervisor Fujiki who handed over the storyboard to Producer Tanabe, who made a storyboard after minor revisions, and then asked Producer Zuò to take the storyboard to the original drawing.

As mentioned before, it is necessary to have a meeting with the artist and the original art to discuss the number of CUT to be allocated, so that the artist can know how to draw the scene and the character, that is, to decide the number of original art and the number of other transition art.

After all, for an animation with 24 frames per second, the number of original paintings is not much, only two to four are needed. Of course, there are many, many original paintings.

In short-

The original picture is a keyframe - any animation to show xiàn movement or change, at least two different key states must be given before and after, and the change of the intermediate state and the connection computer can be automatically completed, in FLASH, the frame that represents the key state is called a keyframe.

The other frame is a transition frame - between two keyframes, the frame in which the computer automatically completes the transition is called a transition frame.

The connection and difference between keyframes and transition frames - there can be no transition frame in the middle of two keyframes, but there must be keyframes before and after the transition frame, because the transition frame is attached to the keyframe;

Keyframes can modify the contents of that frame, but transition frames cannot modify the contents of that frame.

Keyframes can contain many types of elements, such as shapes, clips, groups, and many other elements. However, objects in transition frames can only be clips (movie clips, graphic clips, buttons) or stand-alone shapes. A film is made up of successive pictures, each of which is a frame.

This is roughly what Sayou has learned, and there are many things that are not clear to Sasuke who has just come into contact with this job.

Obviously, as a newcomer, Sayu can't do anything more complicated, that is, he can't do anything other than bring the storyboard to the artist.

Even if I learned something about the production of zuò on the Internet and through guò sine, it is impossible to do well as the first contact.

Sayu is not a genius and makes mistakes for this. So in order to prevent those mistakes from happening, it is natural to arrange less work for Sayou.

For example, other production zuò can confirm the background design and character design after playing with the storyboard, but for Sayu, those are not things that can be easily done by himself.

After all, while dealing with the characters and backgrounds, it was also necessary to contact Mr. Ochiai to confirm the style of painting. Then contact the relevant personnel to make changes, let the coloring person color, and then hand it over to Tanabe Producer, and then there are many other things.

It's a bit reluctant for a newcomer.

Of course, Sayo is currently doing what he can do. At least it won't hold the team back, that's what Sayo thinks.

As always, I got up early, and after coming to the office, Sasuke saw that there were many people who came earlier than him. It seems that their impression of waking up early is lazy for them.

In this way, I don't know if the broken ones who stay at home will complete the original painting task they gave her on time, and if they can't do it, it will be troublesome.

Entering the hall, I saw quite a few people at work, and there were three people gathered at the stairs near the second floor.

Among them, there is a person I know, and that is Miss Sanqianliu of the Forty-ninth Academy.

The three people holding the coffee seemed to be talking about something, and Miss Sanchiryu waved at Sayou after seeing Sayou.

"Come down here, assistant brother, no, it's a newcomer brother, and the president of Lianzao really likes to mess around."

"Just treat me as an intern."

"But you guys should understand the steps needed to make an animation.,You only need to plan your actions in the case of a detailed understanding of the process of making an animation.。 It's not as good as a genius like you. ”

"Genius or something."

It's not a genius, it's just a good use of the wealth given by God.

"Okay, let's introduce the people of [NG Animation Agency]."

Miss Sanqianliu pointed to the young man who thought he was wearing a hat

"Mr. Yusheng Okazaki, more than half of those who have worked for five years are on the waiting list."

"Please don't talk too much."

"This is Chunyuan and Miss Xia, and they are half newcomers like Zaixia."

"No, at least I've never made a mistake in my work."

Sayou bowed his head and said hello, in this job, they all belong to their seniors.

"Okay, there is a job in the next place, so please work on your own~"

Before leaving, Miss Sanchiryu patted Sayou on the shoulder.

"Next time, let's act together, but I like to urge the draft with my brother or something. It's just that because the formal system has begun, it can't be too casual and nonsense, and it's really boring for the next. ”

"What's that? Please also work hard. ”

Sayou smiled and ran to the studio where the original paintings were on the second floor. (To be continued......)
