Chapter 28: Pluralistic Stylization

"There is nothing wrong with the quality of the OP, but the frequent change of the OP and soundtrack of each episode will cause confusion in the overall style of this work?"

Kishi Seiji asked, this is also the question he has been looking for an opportunity to ask...... On the whole, the soundtrack scheme of the Black Rock Shooter is in the direction of "brainless burning", although it is not so exaggerated, but this obvious problem is easy to find.

In other words, this animation work of only 6 words, the music style is not unified at all.

"It's true that the style is mixed, but chaos should be non-existent." Of course, he understands this kind of problem, or he hasn't considered the issue of unifying the music style from beginning to end.

"Why do you say that?" Kishi was puzzled.

"Director Kishinari, you have to understand that this work is our Mad Poihat's first independently produced animation, and no one can guarantee that our paintings will be in a stable state......"

It is correct to say that Mad Poihat's painting must have been in a state of absolute instability.

Therefore, I estimate that there will be subtle differences or ups and downs in the picture of each episode, and this objective problem determined by the amount of experience is more difficult to solve than the uniform musical style...... It's more like a good deed than an evil deed. Miyadai explained.

The different images are complemented by a differentiated musical style, which not only masks Mad Poihat's shortcomings, but also shows that this work is their "work of sincerity". Ignoring the absolute unity of the whole, and pursuing the fit of the parts and the "diversity" of the whole, will give the illusion that Mad Poihat is expanding the style of his works in many ways, and the impression of "disadvantages" will be overshadowed by "characteristics".

Miyadai will only make the most basic considerations based on reality, and then make adaptive changes to the plan, and he will never overestimate Mad Poihat's drawing ability...... It's just a small young animation company, so how can we talk about ensuring the stability of our paintings?

Take Kyoto Animation next door as an example,KyoAni has been producing animation independently since 03.,But after experiencing the second and third seasons of all-metal frenzy.、AIR、The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya、Kanon,It wasn't until the sixth work in 07 "Lucky ☆ Star",Its painting is completely settled.,Establish a mature style and stable picture quality assurance.。

Compared to Mad Poihat, KyoAni, founded in 1981, can certainly be called a long history and strength. Therefore, if the two are compared, there is nothing wrong with Miyadai making a more conservative judgment.

Of course, the late-mover advantage is not completely absent, before the end of the cooperation with KEY, and the introduction and use of newcomers, KyoAni has always had the problem of old character and painting style, because it has a lot of "veteran" characters who have continued from the era of celluloid painting, these talents are of course incomparably wealthy, but they will also bring some problems.

Therefore, thanks to the ultra-accurate forward-looking vision of some people, Mad Poihat can take advantage of the past few years to complete the overall style of Kyoto Animation...... After all, it is unlikely that you will win the other party in these aspects in the future.

Painting can't spell the style of painting, and if the story is lacking, you can spell the character design, in short, how to best catch the audience's eyeballs, although this is the crooked way of the sword, but the simplest truth is nothing more than that.

"Mr. Gong...... It's a bit of a whimsy, and it's actually more practical. ”

Miyadai's statement is not difficult to understand, and Kishi Chengji even accepted it immediately after listening to it...... This solved two problems for him in one fell swoop, and he was supposed to talk about the possible problems of Mad Poihat's painting, but now there is no need.

"I'm just saying it casually, and the specific operation still needs to be grasped by the overseer of Kishisei." Gong Daizu waved his hand and said, after all, he was just moving his mouth, and it was these people in front of him who were really working.

"Ms. Ono Rei, in this case, the difficulty of our picture maintenance problem will be reduced, right?" Miyadai asked again to the chief painting supervisor, Reina Ono.

"Of course, the burden on the governor will be lightened in this way." Ono Rei responded.

Painting supervision is the most important part of controlling the quality of the picture,The painting work of an episode of animation is to be handed over to more than ten or twenty original artists to complete,It is inevitable that there will be conflicts、The picture is not uniform,And the supervisor is responsible for the final correction work。

Each episode of animation will have a painting supervisor in charge, and as a whole there will be a chief director in charge of the second review, which is the role played by Ono Rei, who is often paid more than the animation supervisor because of the importance of this position.

In order to maintain the quality of the picture and prevent it from breaking, there was an animation called "Gray and Fantasy Grimgard" that had to use a super record of 24 painting supervisors, which is the rhythm of a concept artist and a painting supervisor.

In addition, since there is a high-intensity fight of about 30 to 50 calories in each episode of 30 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds according to the arrangement of the budget, I take into account the situation in the company...... Anyway, I might need to contact some of Tokyo's painting resources, and that's fine, right? Kishi asked again.

In other words, Mad Poihat still needs experienced and capable concept artists, so Kishi needs to use his contacts in Tokyo to create these high-intensity images.

"Of course, this matter will naturally trouble the overseer of Kishisei." Naturally, Gong Daisheng will not have any opinions, which is also a part of the supervision work...... In a sense, if you can contact the original painting of Niu X, then this supervisor is the supervisor of Niu X.

"The next question was similar, and I wanted to reach out to an experienced DP to take care of it, given the pressure on the cinematography and special effects aspects of this anime...... Jomon has been in contact with the head of your company's photography department before, and he is one of the best people I've ever met in terms of technology, especially in grain and texturing, but the problem is that he hasn't been in charge of the entire animation before, so he is still lacking. ”

If you had to pick one of the most complex and boring rankings among the various industries on the planet, animation would definitely be at the top of the list.

Most of the time, it's a sore business. Most of the young people who enter this industry with dreams will be smoothed out.

"Mr. Du You used to work on game projects, and he just joined our company not long ago." Kayuko Suzuki whispered in Miyadai's ear.

At this time, she was in charge of making some minutes of the meeting, one is to avoid omissions afterwards, but although the general director Akito Takeshita is not here at this time, these animations are theoretically to be handed over to him for a purpose.

The problem of photography is a bit troublesome, many scenes of the Black Rock shooter need special effects to support, and even the completion of the special effects will directly affect the final presentation effect and overall evaluation of the work, the pressure in this regard can be imagined, but super photography supervision is also a scarce resource, Mad Poihat is not easy to contact this talent.

"The question is ...... I think I was able to fix it. ”

No one expected that this sentence would be said by Mai Iwami, who has always played the role of "listener".
