Chapter 5: Miss JK
Snakehead Animation, one o'clock in the morning.
"Uncle Ben's right leg is missing a big toe, but it's not a toe, it's a holy sword" Episode 6 storyboard performance Hiroshi Misawa returned to his seat and slumped in his chair, looking like he was going to die.
In animation production, the storyboard is easy to understand, that is, according to the requirements of the script and animation supervision, the sketch of the shot is drawn one by one, and the responsibility of the performance, the first work that needs to be completed is the drawing meeting, the storyboard of hundreds of cards to the original artists, and at the same time specifically explain the costumes and moods of the characters in the storyboard, and convey their desired effect to the original artists.
The first step of the original painting inspection is also the performance, mainly to check whether the performance of the original painting is in line with expectations, such as to show that the angry character, then whether the character's angry painting method is good, whether to redraw or let the painting supervisor make corrections, if it is really unqualified, it will be returned for repair or directly returned to redo, probably to determine the "acting".
In the later stage, all the content links will basically be participated in the performance.
In other words, the performance is the director of a single episode.
So is it cool to perform in an animation production team with a tight schedule and a small budget?
Hiroshi Misawa said that he was happy to die, and he was also a storyboard, and from the moment he got the script and saw his name, he wanted to leave on the spot.
What the hell is a plan?
Still, "fuck the fuck job!" No more! In the end, it will become "It's important to make money, it's important to make money." ”
Even if he is not satisfied with this animation project, he has to continue to do it, and he encounters a lot of problems, very many.
The construction period is too rushed, the homework time is not enough, and it is impossible to find a good original painting, the original painting has no experience, and the quality is like.
Hiroshi Misawa has been constrained since he started drawing storyboards, and he can't even think of difficult shots, because there really is no good original artist.
But even so, there are so many problems that it explodes, and the dead line is getting closer and closer, Misawa Hiroshi's mentality has changed, and there is no time to check that the original painting does not meet expectations, as long as it is not messed around, it can be seen, almost, all close their eyes and sign and then give the painting supervision.
Tonight it's time again, "Give me a good change in the original garbage painting!" And "Forget it." The time to choose.
Hiroshi Misawa picked up a card of original drawings on the table and began to inspect them.
Although because of the construction period, he chose to relax the standards, and he always closed his eyes and signed when he saw the past, but there are also standards for relaxation standards, and he must not be able to pass if he is too chaotic.
After checking the 3 cards in one go, Hiroshi Misawa was a little entangled, roughly the paintings were average, and the performance effect was not very ideal, he wanted to go back, but there was not much time left for him.
As mentioned earlier, generally speaking, animation production is the same as an assembly line, which is carried out at the same time, for example, if the first episode is launched, the third episode of the animation should be almost completed, and the storyboard of the eighth episode has been drawn.
Of course, this is ideal.
Now the fourth episode of this "Uncle Ben" animation has been broadcast, and the sixth episode is still in the painting stage, and the progress has been greatly delayed.
No matter how late the photography is, the production will be chopped.
So Misawa Guang struggled for a while, and still gave the three cards, although the performance effect was very poor, but at least it was made, and there was not much collapse, didn't it......
Next, continue to check.
Soon it was Gu Xue's turn to be in charge of the original painting of the two cards.
When Hiroshi Misawa picked up one of the cards, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the name.
He was impressed by these two cards, because they were cards that the protagonist needed to exercise vigorously to play handsome, and no one in the company wanted to pick up or say that no one could draw them, and the people who could draw them were in another project, which was a thigh manga, and the center of gravity of the entire company was on it.
I can only go to an original artist outside the company to paint.
The first original painting Hiroshi Misawa checked, to be honest, there are many problems, such as the perfunctory attitude, the action design and performance effect are very ordinary, the practice of using a lot of teleportation to cut the lens, and some of the original painting movements are slightly deformed, etc.
But what can he do, he is also desperate, the budget is so small, it is not easy to find an original artist willing to paint, generally no problem is fine, the construction period is so rushed, how can there be time to rework.
Anyway, it is a light reform of garbage, and the requirements for one or two cards are so high, and the overall garbage atmosphere will not be gone.
So Hiroshi Misawa happily gave it.
He remembered that he had cleared the second original painting the day before yesterday, and he only brought it over today, and the speed was too slow.
But when he saw the name of the second original painting, he was relieved.
It turned out to be that JK......
It seems to come in through the back door.,And it seems to have something to do with it.,The painter was promoted to the original painting after half a year.,The person in charge of the exam promotion must have released the water.,Because when Misawa Hiroshi was in charge of a single episode of an animation last year.,He also gave the card to Gu Xue.,But Gu Xue has no experience.,Not skilled.,It's called a slow and poor painting.,All of them didn't pass.,In the end, someone else helped her finish.。
This year, Misawa Hiroshi didn't give her any more cards.,When there was a painting meeting.,Because she didn't get a card.,The way she sat in the corner with her head down.,It's weird and distressing.。
This time, the second original painting of 221,222 cards was handed over to her, mainly because there was no one, and it was very troublesome to clean the draft, but the technical content was not high, which was suitable for her.
"It's too slow." Hiroshi Misawa sighed, unfolded the law table, took out the original drawing, and began to check.
“……”
The first second he saw the original painting, Hiroshi Misawa was breathless, stood up suddenly, and slammed it onto the table.
"There's no clean draft at all!"
"What's wrong?" One of the painting supervisors of the sixth episode, Kojima Taira, happened to come to Hiroshi Misawa to get some tea, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the office, he heard Hiroshi Misawa yelling and was startled.
Hiroshi Misawa turned his head to look at Kojima Ping, and said with a confused expression: "Miss JK has gone on strike, and she may have run away even in production." ”
In fact, Gu Xue is quite famous in the company, because she is too young, many people call her Miss JK in private......
As for why the production was carried out, it also ran away, because Gu Xue directly threw the original painting onto the performance table......
"Huh?"
Misawa widened the original painting of the two cards in Yang's hand and showed it to Kojima Hei.
"it." Kojima Taira was also shocked, "Is it too late?" Looking for someone to clean up again? ”
"It's the only way to do it if you don't have time." Hiroshi Misawa sat down in his chair again, and suddenly felt so tired.
Of course he was angry, but this situation is actually not uncommon, the pressure of animation production is so high, and it is normal for one or two original artists to suddenly run away or the production schedule cannot catch up.
It's normal......
The painting stage is the most problematic part, and Hiroshi Misawa has experienced both big and small problems.
"So if you don't have the energy, why do you take on this kind of project?" Misawa Hiroshi threw aside the original painting of the two cards that had no clear draft at all, rubbed his eyebrows, and couldn't help but complain.
"It's not like what you would say, you've been doing it for so many years, don't you know where animation is now?" Kojima smiled, picked up the tea leaves on Hiroshi Mizawa's table, poured some on his cup, and joked with him by the way.
"Ah~ industry pills." Hiroshi Misawa grabbed his hair, sighed, and ...... Go ahead and check for the next card.
Not to mention the industry pills, even if the world is over, he has to finish the work first, and then go to see if the production is running away.
However, as soon as he saw the first original painting of the next card, he was stunned, always feeling familiar and a little unfamiliar......
Go ahead and flip through the next one, huh......
After a look at the overall flip, Misawa Hiro's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the next card.
After reading it as a whole again, he glanced at the name of the original artist.
On the other side, Kojima Taira finished pouring the tea leaves, looked at Hiroshi Misawa who was holding the original painting with a serious face, shook his head with a smile, and didn't bother him anymore, ready to leave quietly.
But he had just walked to the door.
"it!!" Hiroshi Misawa suddenly stood up from his chair again and yelled loudly.
Kojima shrank his shoulders and turned his head to ask, "What's wrong?" Someone running away again? ”
"It's not." Hiroshi Misawa took the original painting card and said confusedly, "Miss JK is back again." ”
