Although the second season of “The Top Family” has been completed for more than a year, the interview to supervise Yoshihara is still very readable. Yoshihara was the first veteran of the PA to establish a PA with Sasakawa. He was also the head of the PA painting department, and he was also responsible for the training of the newcomers to the PA. His words were very helpful for readers who wanted to know about PA. This interview with Yoshihara not only talks about the content of “The Top of the Family”, but also talks about the newcomer training, the 3DLO system and so on. .
3DLayout of “War”.
The 3DLO production with the top series takes the 3DLO work mode with 3Dstaff, even if Jiyuan is not satisfied with many shots, and even re-edited the last two episodes of 3DLO. .
3DLO has been used for more than ten years, but it is still being adjusted. In simple terms, 3DLO puts 3D dolls into the 3D modeling scene. For painting, the morphological changes of the dolls will affect their paintings. To this end, the production of 3D dolls needs to be standardized, that is, the 3D dolls are made according to the character design table, and the dolls of the same shape as the character design table are produced. .
For example, the scene of Yasaburo puts the dolls similar to Yasaburo, and of course the current technique still does not allow people to make the detailed posture required by the mirror. Of course, even if there is a doll made according to the character, the original artist can’t keep up with the level of painting. For example, an original painting that is not quite the size of the head will draw a smaller head than the doll, which will result in the character being drawn on the LO. .
The 3D human idol used in this day is a robot made up of sticks, and there is a disc on the top of the head like Kappa’s head. This doll has been counted since the IG era. It is already the ninth generation. In the past, IG also added muscles to the dolls. Moreover, some people even have hair on their own, and Yoshihara originally planned to add hair and the like to the dolls who have the sky, but because the original artist felt that adding these things was disgusting, it was the head of the doll. Designed into a plate shape. .
Yoshihara did all this in order to change the situation that the past 3DLO could only give the original artist a general reference, and designed a new version of the 3D doll. Yoshihara believes that in order to make effective use of 3DLO for a long time, 3DLO must be systematized. However, Yoshihara’s own 3DLO usage method is very difficult even if it is only popular in the community. Yoshihara teaches the performance according to his own use method, but as long as the performance does not follow the method of Yoshihara, the original paintings will immediately fall into chaos. .
Of course this is not the case with PA, and IG also has this situation. When Yoshihara made a film in IG to help Shenshan, he found that the bottleneck in the use of 3DLO is whether everyone can reach a consensus on 3DLO. Therefore, when Yoshihara returned to PA, he intended to let everyone in the community have a common understanding of 3DLO, but in fact, in addition to Yoshihara’s own work, it is still very difficult to reach a consensus. .
In the past, when Yoshihara made a film in IG, LO was also hand-painted by the original artist, but the art side will further refine the background. That is to say, the hand-drawn LO will not be faithfully restored, but as a modeling reference for the 3D department, and then the completed 3D modeling will be handed over to the art department for further refinement. In Jiyuan’s view, such a workflow, like the past workflow, cannot improve work efficiency. The LO finish is slow and the LO check of the show will be affected, as will the subsequent processes. Therefore, when Yoshihara did the performance, he planned to stop painting the LO. So Jiyuan skipped the step of hand-painting LO and went straight to the CG department to set the background model that had already been completed, according to the angle of the mirror, and then printed it out. This is the original 3DLO, presumably before the “Ghost in the Shell STANDALONE COMPLEX” is about to start production.
Although 3DLO can already be used in the production of the shell, the performances at that time still chose to take photos of themselves, and then called this as a reference for painting. The proportion of 3DLO used is very low. In fact, 3DLO has a lot of controversy from the beginning of use. According to the truth, 3DLO is used, so there is no need to let the original painting hand-painted LO, but the original painting at that time will still use 3DLO as a reference to re-paint LO. Yoshihara also used this set of 3D hand-drawn process in the number of sets he was responsible for. However, since the LOs handed over by the original artists did not have the high quality of 3DLO, they finally evolved to use 3DLO directly. .
There is no 3DLO hand-drawn LO for the original painting. The purpose of this is to separate the original painting from the LO assignment, so that the original painting is dedicated to the painting movement. However, after Yoshihara hopes to return the work of LO to the original painting, it is necessary to enhance the production strength of PA, and finally let the original painting go to the 3D department, and make 3DLO with 3D personnel, and decide the machine of lo in charge. The bit is then handed over to the process of the show check. .
Although everyone is saying now, LO has become a show. However, Yoshihara is very dissatisfied with this situation, because many people who perform performances are not very good at the level of the original painting, but they have a dominant position on LO. But it’s not just PA, but it’s also happening in other companies. And not only for 3DLO, the LO-related part now has a lot of power. However, Yoshihara, who is a painter, still feels that the dominant position of LO should be given to the painter. Not to mention 3DLO, because the current performance to correct the hand-painted LO, which undoubtedly increased the time of the performance check, when the LO returned to the original artist’s hand, the original artist did not remember the contents of the work. .
Now thanks to 3DLO, some difficult shots in the past can be made. It is also because of the help of 3DLO that it can produce high quality lenses. However, Yoshihara wants to see the picture with the “lie” hand-painted by the original taste. At the same time, he also admitted that because 3DLO can ensure that the size and position of objects in the front and rear lenses will not go wrong, there are such advantages that should be used. .
However, if it is Inoue Jun, you can draw a difficult shot directly without 3DLO. Yoshihara also mentioned the subjective shot of Tanaka’s dog pill in the bath of the ancestors hitting the tens of thousands of years, and painted the movement of the movement by hand. .
It is clear that there are such powerful original paintings in the past, but now I want to rely on 3D for such subjective shots. Yoshihara feels that the level of animators is retrogressing, and the heart is not a taste. However, as the supervised Yoshihara, compared with the pursuit of a hundred percent of individual shots, it is more important to pay attention to how to keep the level of the whole work at 70. If this is considered, it is normal for 3DLO to become mainstream. .
There is a top of the day because 3DLO’s help can make a lot of beautiful and correct perspective shots, but on the other hand, it is too correct to look a bit strange. In this regard, Yoshihara is also more inclined to hand-painted. Although both 3D and hand-painted people will have a sense of focal length, in fact, it is still necessary to deliberately make a fake to look better, and this is the advantage of hand-painting. .
It is very difficult to make a fisheye lens with 3D. It is impossible to do it without relying on the help of photography. Yoshihara also thought of a wide-angle lens that he had painted in “You Yu Bai Shu” in the past. The kind of imposing lens is still better to draw. .
The top 3DLO is mainly used indoors. The scenes with only a few shots like the western restaurant also have 3D models. As long as the indoor perspective is obvious, the lens basically uses 3D assistance. Too many parts of the civet cat will also use 3DLO, because there are too many civet cats, it is difficult to find out the position of different civet cats when the camera is switched, so 3D is used as the reference picture. The second part of the ending and the third part of the beginning of the third part of the elevated part of the use of 3D, while some are referenced photo.
However, from the beginning of the first period, there has been no time for 3DLO due to the problem of the construction period. But because Xu Wei and others will use 3D software, even if there is no 3D modeling, they will make a simple version of 3DLO for the original artist. There are also a lot of scenes with small objects that will also use 3D. For example, Yashiro’s factory and three generations of destinations must use 3D because there are too many things. Because of the small number of small objects, how to layer such small objects to art is a big problem. Therefore, Yoshihara chose to make a 3D layer of direct 3D stickers, so that people who don’t need art and painting will handle the objects on the work table in the white box. .
The production methods of each division.
The top-notch art style is the continuation of another animation “Universal Vegetable Bu Xia” directed by Yoshihara. The art director is also the Yusuke Takeda of Bamboo. Yoshihara thinks the art style of “Universal Vegetable Bu Xia” It’s very good, so I used the same style. Although it is the art background of digital painting, it has made a hand-painted feeling, and Yoshihara called it a sense of air. The sense of air in Yoshihara’s mouth is the result of the camera between the camera station and the celluloid. .
Nowadays, regardless of the art and color designation, photography has a way to change the color of the picture. However, this time, the top day is to choose to preserve the original essence of the art background, so there is no need to add photography, but the photography will be less reassuring, so add some effects, but in the end it will be removed by Yoshihara. .
This time there are two days in the top, Yoshihara requires all departments to be responsible for their own work. Now the color can directly modify the animation sheet, but as long as the time is sufficient, Yoshihara will return the unqualified animation back to the animation department on the grounds of retake. Although it is relatively time-consuming to do so, it is the work of the inspection. . .
In fact, Yoshihara wants to complain that the schedule is very good, but as long as they follow their own duties, the schedule will still have strange problems. However, when the schedule is not allowed to retake the animation, Yoshihara will still spur the animations, hoping that they can maintain the quality and not let the color correction. .
For Yoshihara himself, it is possible to stick to the attitudes of each department in the first quarter. In the first season of production, in order to let everyone understand the rush check (check all the shots after the completion of the photography), even the bara check (one card and one card separately check the lens of the completion of photography) Yoshihara must also participate in the whole Of course, the second time bara check will also call everyone. And the general bara check only needs to point out the part that needs to be retake, but in order to let everyone know why the lens is to be retake, Yoshihara needs to explain the reason clearly. .
In PA, bara check is the painting and coloring in the community, and the original painting stomach pain also insisted on participating, but in Yoshihara’s view, although this behavior is indeed worthy of praise, but the bara check is It should be like this. .
As the construction period is getting more and more tense, the current bara check is to check the time as soon as possible after the photography is finished, so that the free original painting has no chance to participate in the bara check. These paintings do not know who their original paintings will pass, and what they will eventually become, will lead them to begin to perfuse things. Yoshihara does not want his new people in the community to develop such bad habits, so they will be called to bara check as long as the schedule allows, and teach new people the correct way to make animations. .
PA’s newcomer education.
PA There are often works that are not based on the agency’s staff. If the supervision invited by President Sakagawa does not like Yoshihara’s practice, Yoshihara will make a compromise, but Yoshihara also has his own bottom line. For example, if the new person only draws the grassland and then gives the second original to others, Yoshihara is firmly resisting it. .
When there is a top-notch schedule, I have to wait for a new person. In the top of the sky, there is no new person who only draws the grassland. The amendment is only based on the fact that the prisoner may repair the original painting on the basis of a little less repair. Of course, if the original painting can be returned to the original painter, it is necessary to be efficient in the supervision and performance departments. The essence of the so-called top-day production site is to educate new people in this repeated process.
Back to the topic of painting the mirror, the original Yoshihara was scheduled to complete the episode of the episode. The first two weeks were for the newcomer to paint the mirror. After two weeks, Yoshihara modified the mirror, but it eventually became only about three days in Yoshihara. Time to modify the split mirror. Because the four people who painted the mirrors not only had to draw the mirrors but also to do the performance work, they also compressed the time of drawing the mirrors, but they still insisted on the speed of the mirrors for one month. Ordinary TV animations can’t do this at all. Generally speaking, it takes two months for an episode. .
In the past, when Yoshihara did a performance painting, more than 20 episodes of TV animations could suddenly hold a ten-segment conference, and the performances of the sub-mirrors did not know the contents of the episodes before and after. Painting. Therefore, Yoshihara should avoid this situation in the top of the sky, and only let them participate in the animation production, they can understand the content before and after. For this reason, Yoshihara established the current splitting system, so that when the sub-mirror is drawn, the contents of the front and rear parts can be known. However, the ideal situation in the heart of Yoshihara is that one person is responsible for the episode of the episode, but the performers who are not in this episode also participate in the speculative meeting. .
In fact, the beginning of the split is to include all the scenes in the original, including descriptions of descriptions and lines. However, due to the length of time, it will be deleted here in Yoshihara. Although I heard a lot of complaints, there are also some praises that are praised by Mori, that is, the fourth episode of Yasaburo to guide the jade. Although the line is written by Yasaburo and Yuxi, the picture is the picture of Yaichiro and Yuki in the past. .
This paragraph was originally described separately, although Yoshihara will not paint such a shameful scene as Yaichiro and Yuxi, but Yoshihara has felt the heat contained in this segment. However, if both sections are left over and longer than the length of time, then Yoshihara will merge the two sections into one paragraph. If such a split mirror is only a painting mirror of Yoshihara, it will definitely not be done. Yoshihara is looking forward to the growth of the three performances in the next work. .
Yoshihara’s supervision is different from other supervisions that are purely film-making. It also needs to look after the internal system of PA. That is to say, Yoshihara is doing work to help PA grows while doing film. The supervision that I invited outside is just to make a film. It will not be like a Yoshihara to make a black face for the growth of PA, and to force the members to do what they want to do, so Jiyuan can only be a supervisor to spur everyone. .
