Design related magazines. 《MdN》10月号 I have done an animated painting-related topic, and invited the current animated original paintings that are active in the front line to do interviews, mainly including Gyeonggi-do, hot springs, china (ちな), Oshima Tower, and Fifty-Five Seas. As well as the very high-profile “Fate/Apocrypha” 22 words, the performance was supervised by Wu Baiwei. In addition, I made a simple interview with people such as Tian Bowen, Kameda Xianglun, Bahi JD, Arai and others. .
ちな(china), born in Osaka in 1996, attended the original painting work in the middle school, so although he was only 22 years old but has 6 years of industry experience, this season is responsible for the second and sixth episodes of “Towards the Mountain” In the second episode, the second episode was returned by one of his original paintings. The sixth episode was well received by many viewers. It was also a surprise to practitioners at the age of 22. .
Don’t need too complicated movements to do your acting skills.
ちな I wanted to go to the show very early, not just the original painting. The “Before the Mountain” series of animations have always been seen, and I really want to do it, so I expressed my willingness to participate in this work on Twitter, and then I made an invitation. .
In the “Towards the Mountain”, I can play more freely and make the performances I want, but it is still a little difficult for one person to be responsible. At the same time, there is still a little lack of experience in time management, such as the mirror. After finishing, I enter the painting process, but when I draw the layout, there may be cases of overturning the mirror. This situation will naturally increase the time cost. .
The process is to make the layout and the first original painting first, and then refine the second original painting after this step is completed. In the previous step, I will pay special attention to the character’s line of sight. I hope that the audience can feel what the character is watching, where the character’s attention is, and what to think about. It is very important as acting. It is very important throughout the whole process. .
The second axis of the second set is hiking shoes, the horizontal axis is the relationship between Kwai and the Japanese. In this regard, the scene of three people eating is a deliberate design. The sunflower is small, but it is not sitting among the three. Instead, he sits in the middle of the trio and acts as a bridge between Xiaokui and Feng. The other scenes are basically Kwai and the Japanese. The understanding of the digestive role and the appearance of the screen is the first consideration. To further say, try not to consider the constraints of painting and performance, but to show the natural part of the character through the screen. .
It is natural to think of this part of the work that we often see and express the cute character. In this respect, the understanding of ちな has undergone a major turning point. At the beginning of the work, the role of the existing pile acting is often used to express the character. This is a bit like a second creation. Although there are interesting parts, the excess acting, preparation, and big track will make the performance itself unnatural. This is also influenced by the thinking of the original painters of the same generation. .
Compared to complex and difficult movements, some small movements and small details can achieve a good performance of the character. I feel that the direction of the fourth episode of Matsumoto Kenzo’s original painting is very close to what he wants to do. Of course, the personal level cannot be compared with Matsumoto. For example, when the fifth group of five people came out from the karaoke, everyone walked and stopped. The movements are different, based on Matsumoto’s understanding of the character, and the sense of disobedience is not very natural. When you need to express the mood of the character, you need to add the necessary actions. You think this episode can be used as a learning object. .
How high school students draw original paintings.
ちな In high school, I sent some gifs on my “twiflip”. Of course, I was still young at the time. I didn’t have any plans to do animation in the future, but I didn’t expect the animation to be produced by the animation studio. When I saw it, I was asked, “Is there any interest in painting the original painting?” So suddenly there was an opportunity to participate in the second season of “Swirl Lily”. Meiyuan did not know that it was only 16 years old and only a high school student. Later, he asked. I pretended to pretend that I was a student at the Animation School.
At that time, it was not digital painting, but traditional paper, or in Osaka (the core process of animation production is basically in Tokyo). Only one Tokyo staff came over and opened a meeting with the people on the Kansai side. For example, the timetable (law table) was filled in at that time, but after all, it was the first time to participate in the original animation, and the result was supervised a lot, and then I did not ask him to make the original painting. However, taking the opportunity to participate in animation production and understanding the working atmosphere is also a very good experience. After that, I felt that it was better to do the work outside of the animation. So after I graduated from high school, I was a rogue for the test artist. During the period, I also helped my friends to do some animation work. After one year, although I was admitted to the university, In order to continue the work on animation, the university dropped out of school after one year of reading, and full-time animation. .
Learning animation in schools and universities is mainly based on the original paintings. Refer to how to add the cuts and timetables. Now it is the actual work from the corrections of the performances, and from the contemporary The local study of friends is still in the learning stage. The style of painting is mainly influenced by the friends of the same generation. It represents the earthworms. In addition, there are webs animation people. The representatives are Ze Liangfu, Yamashita Kiyoshi, and Yuki Kenichi. Their characteristics are traditional animations. Different genres, more design ideas are from the perspective of the audience, from the perspective of the audience to think about the nature of animation, for example, when the earth smashed in the painting, more concerned about whether the audience felt the explosion The feeling of heat and smoke, rather than simply using the traditional animation of the explosion, from the perspective of the audience’s feelings. This has affected the idea of designing acting. .
For painting reference, the first thing is to watch the video on youtube. Sometimes I will take some videos for reference. On the way to and from work, I will also observe the way walkers walk, and imagine where they come from. This point comes in handy in the second episode of “Towards the Mountain.” The handle is influenced by Matsuo Yusuke and Ze Liangsuke. When they were in the middle school, the two often published some graffiti on their own websites. They often copied their paintings, so the style was very close to them. .
In addition to the “Idol Master Cinderella” who is responsible for the character design and the overall supervision of Matsuo, there was a sense of reference to Matsuo’s acting skills before. “The genius Mahjong Girl” fifth words Matsuo Yusuke was responsible for the scene of the last protagonist.ちな I am very impressed with this scene. The expression of the characters in Matsuo is very powerful. The characters in Japanese animation are often designed with large eyes, and the eyebrows are linked together, so it is the part that most reflects the feelings of the animated characters. .

Influenced by Kyoto animated performers.
In addition to the face, I also pay attention to the performance of the foot. This is influenced by the Kyoto animation of Yamada Sayako. In the theatrical version of “Sound Girl” supervised by Yamada’s son, there is a protagonist who walks on the bridge. The scene, which has a long shot that only takes four human feet, is only a good performance through the dialogue between the foot and the character. At that time, I saw the scene very fresh. .
Yamada’s style is attached to the style of the movements of the hands and feet, and I am consciously imitating the moment when I am doing the “Towards the Mountain”. When I was in high school, I really liked “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya”, “Lucky Star”, “Light Voice”. The performance style of Kyoto-born performer Yamada Sakuko and Kaohsiung Tongzi may have influenced him from the beginning. .
As for the future goals, I would like to challenge the work of motion-based painting in the future, especially the kind of acting that is far away from the lens and wide-angle under the wide space. Compared with the battle scene, I like to draw daily acting skills. For example, the movie animations like Hayao Miyazaki, Takahashi Hiroshi, and Odakiya are similar in the past, such as Ji Guanguang’s “Computer Coil”. However, compared with men, I feel that I have more talents for painting women. In short, it is the ideal and goal to convey the emotions of the characters in the story to the audience.
