The Blu-ray BOX, which was broadcasted in January-March 2006, the animation “Restoration of the Sky – RESCUE WINGS-” was released on November 22nd. The series, which is one of the main lineups, constitutes Takayama Wenyan, in order to promote this work. Today, I also recalled the behind-the-scenes creation of this work on Twitter
Takayama said that because there is no monitor around, I completely rely on the explanation of the Blu-ray disc while memorizing the articles written on the side, so there may be some memory deviations. The sub-tracks that the photography supervisors of Daisuke Hiroshi and the music Matsuo’s early participation are also precious. Animation is the product of the group’s work. Each part has a place for everyone’s efforts and attention. I hope that the audience can feel through the screen
When I got the plan, the theme of the work was clearly stated. This is a real work that directly describes the rescue team. However, in the early days of the project, the hero selected the female driver, and Takayama believed that there was always something wrong. Although the Air Self-Defense Force had several female drivers at the time, the female drivers of the rescue team did not exist at the time. The producer of the animation, Sugiyama, also explained this problem. The U-125A fighter has a female driver. At the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, I went to the Matsushima base. In addition, the CH-47J of the helicopter airlift also has female drivers. During the UH-60J model conversion period, although there were female drivers, it was a pity that they could not be multiplied
The organization in the animation is in reality. The protagonist has a character that cannot be imagined now. According to these elements, when the story is formed, the focus will become a bit fuzzy, and it is difficult to arouse the interest of the audience.Just like writing the first female prime minister’s film, the theme is placed on the difficulties of women who work hard in the male society, then the content related to the national government will lose its reality
Therefore, in order to describe the real side of the rescue team more directly, Takayama proposes to make the role and design of the animation as close as possible to reality, and advocates the use of male protagonists. If this work is a work in the second quarter, then it is no problem to be a female-oriented person, but the duration of each sentence is only 30 minutes and only 1 quarter
“Restoration of the sky – RESCUE WINGS-” before the production of the plan for the review of the plan “Rescue Angel”. The production lineup at the time was also completely different from the official version, and the aspect ratio of the animation was still 4:3. The helicopter and fighter used painting, while the informal version of the 3DCG
In fact, there is an initial composition before this. The use of group drama is equivalent to the absence of a fixed protagonist. It is more direct to the audience that this is the story of the organization of the rescue team, just like “Dragon Quest 4”, the first half is the story of the completion of six deployments, and the remaining 6 words are all Solve a big event (earthquake after the typhoon) in the form of an entire team
However, this initial composition stopped when it was written to a certain place, and Takayama said that it was invalidated and could not be seen. The main reason is that the knowledge that I have is too shallow, the amount of setting is too large, and the difficulty of actually drawing is even more difficult. I have dispelled this idea for various reasons. But it is not completely abolished. Some ideas are used in other formal scripts, not in vain
Takayama still remembers that the first thing is that the female ombudsman is the main person. The reason why she likes the helicopter is that when she was young, she took the reward of the shopping street and won the opportunity to travel around Tokyo Bay by helicopter. As a full-time clerk, she couldn’t see the rescue scene with her own eyes. After watching the emergency dispatch of the players, they stood by at the base. After the UH-60J successfully rescued the victims and sent them to the ambulance, they returned to the refurbishment room. The female stockman gently waited for the return of the UH-60J. It is such a simple story
Is followed by the outlines of the rescuer (Medic), the pilot (Pilot) and others. The second story tells the story of a newcomer’s rescuer. When he heard the boss persuaded himself to give up the rescue of the victims, the mood of the new rescuer fell to the bottom, and he did not want to give up. However, in the latter half of the plot, he had to face such a situation and repeated the child in distress. Say the same “irresponsible words” – “I will save you”, pick up the child, the heart is going to be torn apart, it should be the end of the rescue success, but in the end it ended in tragedy. This is also the original story of the first animation
Among these single episodes, Takayama believes that the captain’s story is the most difficult to write. In the process of thinking, Takayama thought of the film “Madigan” directed by Donald “Don” Siegel, the original of which was Richard Doherty (Richard). Dougherty’s novel The Commissioner, originally described as the title of the police chief, is a story of a police officer on the scene. Takayama originally planned to do this, but the sound of “No, no,” echoed in his ear, and eventually abandoned the composition and outline of the past
The mountain that has fallen into the bottleneck has opened Yamamoto’s novel “Red Beard Treatment Tan” (not the film “Red Beard” adapted by Akira Kurosawa), which is easy to apply. The main point of the story is that the newcomer has just left the society to meet the respectable boss. Such a story is easy to become a compass when you are lost. Everyone’s heart always has such a bright light shining
It is said that the use of soldiers is better than wit and expensive, and the mountain is ready to write a draft outline for the official use of animation, and part of the plot is assigned to another script of this work – water clearance. The outline of the draft on the water reads: The protagonist and the heroine are reconciled after the quarrel, and the details are handed over to you. “After all, this is already burning your eyebrows, and there is still an empty tube!”
The story is reflected in the fact that the new driver is assigned to the unsatisfactory workplace, and then slowly begins to experience the value of the job after working for a while. From the beginning of the first year of spring to the end of the second year of spring. Try to reduce the situation of rescue and dispatch, and adopt a basic policy consisting of two or three words. In addition, as far as possible, the situation in the detective story is avoided. The place where the detective is located is the situation of the crime scene
The reason why the protagonist is set to be born in the country is to let him better see his dual identity in this society. In public, in order to express yourself is the standard language, and half of them are “acting”, but when they are really complaining and anxious, they will reveal their own nature. At this time, In dialect, Takayama believes that this is a manifestation of human beings who are weak and young
When I was named for the main public, the first thing that Takayama thought of was the name of the novelist Uchida, and he took the name of Uchida to the protagonist, but why did he choose his hometown in Okayama? I can’t remember it. In the high school student era, whenever I went to Kyushu from Kansai to take the Japanese national railway, Takayama thought that it might be possible to hear the dialects of the Okayama prefectures who came up on the way back, or they were Violent Elegy (a novel by Suzuki Takashi, which was adapted into a movie of the same name, a TV series). However, Uchida is really born in Okayama, and the family is doing business in the restaurant
The reason for the initial disaster selection earthquake was mainly to show the sense of distance between the scene of the disaster and the place where the hero is located. The place where the protagonist is located can only feel a small sense of shock, then he will see the painful situation when he arrives at the scene. Takayama thinks that he does not write this situation very well, and he can’t imagine it when he writes the script. How serious is the situation of the 311 East Japan Earthquake in the next few years
The landlord’s setting is very popular with Clint Eastwood, who is an actor, director, producer, composer, and politician, so the dog also gave Clint’s The name, Takayama said that there was originally a foreshadowing. When the protagonist first came to Komatsu, Clint was mad at him, and after that the protagonist was used to the environment of Komatsu. At the end of the story, Clint should stop yelling. Instead, I changed my tail, but due to space issues, this idea was forgotten by him, and this responsibility is on his own
When I started the first script, Takayama proposed the title “Revived Sky” and passed it once. At that time, the nickname “RESCUE WINGS” was actually used as the title, but he did not like to use the katakana title for personal habits, or it was more memorable with more poetic words. Although I hope to use this title in the end, the mountain feels a little far-fetched and finally dispels this idea
The title “Restoration of the Sky” comes from the short novel “Now Wakes the Sea” by the British novelist James Graham Ballard. The mountain also took the name in the middle of it, but did not think so much
The first words of the moving problems encountered by the protagonist Uchida is all during the scripting meeting. Everyone has their own opinions. When they were young, they encountered some failures when they moved. For example, the quilt has not been sent to the curtains. Doing this kind of thing for one night, the mountain did not confirm the authenticity at the time. In short, I wanted to add it. Maybe it was the one who said it for a while. This one is not sure, after all, it has been several decades
The storyline of the first chapter is relatively easy to write. The example of the mountain is like playing chess. This step can’t live up to the expectations of the audience, and this step must betray the audience. This walks well. The last general used the usual skills. It is also the most “fictional” chapter. The plot of the rescue team in the play is naturally fictitious. However, it seems to be particularly true. The way the mountain represents reference is mainly from the Hollywood screenwriter Stirling Silliphant. The collaboration between Steven McQueen and Orenthal James Simpson in The Towering Inferno is also a source of inspiration for this episode
The second chapter (4th and 5th words) is the responsibility for the full clearance of the water. The mountain has only a request, hoping to quote Jerome David Salinger’s novel “The Catcher in the Rye” and the plot of the woman wearing underwear. The inspiration for wearing this piece of underwear is inspired by the sci-fi painting of this year, Harlan Jay Ellison’s masterpiece “Children and Dogs”
About the creation of the third chapter (6th and 7th words), Takayama first expressed himself as an audience. Long time ago, he had been interested in director Stanley Kubrick’s famous songs. The use of methods, such as the alignment method. For example, when these songs are used as a playmate in a movie, these songs are often completely opposite to the feelings in the scene. When you are sad, you use happy music, and when you are happy, you use sad music, Akira Kurosawa. Also, this mouth, the mountain is impressed by theカトキハジメ(KATOKI HAJIME) supervision of the finale of “Farewell to Arms.”
Speaking of Kubrick’s film, I want to count the end of Dr. Chia’s “Full Metal Shell”, the classic song “Rain in the Rain” used in “ Clockwork Orange”, “2001 Space Roaming” The “Blue Danube” is a very classic and classic contraposition
Of course, Kubrick’s non-alignment method used in the film is also very good. For example, in the last scene of “Glorious Road”, the folk girl “The Faithful Hussar” sung by the German girl touched the French soldiers around him. The French soldiers certainly did not understand German, but from the girl’s voice, they heard sentimentality. The German girl later became Kubrick’s wife in reality
In addition, it is equally interesting to use both the contraposition method and the non-alignment method in the same work. Alpine has been looking for opportunities to use such a technique in its own films, and the result is directed by Clint Eastwood. Space Cowboys, used in the film, the mountain feels very “remorse.”
Takayama decided to carry out a “counterattack”, so in the “Restoration of the Sky”, the mountain selected the theme song of the puppet show “Casual Huludao”. Using the existing music, you must first obtain the permission to use the track, otherwise you can’t use it in the play. The mountain clearly indicates that the song is not useful, so another outline is drawn, and the intention of using the song is written. Specifically, at what time to join the song, the outline was submitted to the companyかつし(Sakura Meisheng) supervision, until the approval of the license, the official start of the script. This is also mentioned in the DVD brochure, and the mountain hopes that the audience can help him witness this “revenge war.”
However, in the script of the third chapter, Takayama actually did a “big stupid thing”, wrote the name of the village as Benshan, and the mountain did not notice it, and it was successfully recorded, until it was broadcast on TV for the first time. He discovered that he had committed such low-level mistakes. So when I decided to release the DVD, I would like to re-record the seiyuu and correct the “Village”. I am very sorry for this mountain. However, Takayama said that his life policy is to take a bold approach to his own mistakes, but to others is more strict, so some things have been forgotten. Incidentally, the subtitle “Bright Side of Life” in Chapter 3 is taken from the song “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” by the British six-person drama group Monty Python
In addition, in the car that Chitose opened in Chitose, there is a cow and a small doll with a clockwork. This is also a tribute to “Space Cowboy”, and there is a shake next to James Garner. The hula girl is the source of this idea
The title song of the “Colourful Huludao”, which is the chorus of the finale and the final singer, is the track specified in the script, but how to actually match the appearance of the title, how to connect the original sound in the animation, thanks to the sound supervision Three original performances supervised by Yawen and Sakura Meisei
Takayama still thinks that there is a setting. The wife of the township was originally a kanban girl at a store in Chitose Base (nearby). From the fighter pilot, she was “squatting” as the helicopter driver’s hometown and went to the store to drink. Complaining with one strength, the two became attached to each other, and finally the township proposed to her, and eventually set up a beautiful family. However, due to space and other issues, it did not appear in the play
The fourth chapter (8th and 9th words) is responsible for the water from the outline to the script. When Takayama discussed with him, he only said that the content of the disaster was the stage. The initial candidate was a story of a tribute caused by a typhoon and the entire village was flooded. However, water-related works will inevitably bring a great burden to the original painters because of special effects and other paintings, and finally choose to avoid
The event that was selected by the deletion method was the accident of the cable car. This accident happened several times in the past. This time, the protagonist who was originally the rescuer became the rescued party. This was also proposed by Takayama, and the water suddenly raised interest. Most of this was influenced by the disaster movie of the 1970s, and I saw the “sequel” left by Irwin Allen’s film
Since most of the conversations were held in the Chamber of Secrets, the show was a bit of a headache after the script was submitted. As a result, the camera’s position is limited, the action is limited, and such a long conversation lasts about 20 minutes, just like a script that handed a bomb to the lineup
At that time, painting work has already begun. However, because the script was submitted too late, the lineup of paintings was in a state of burning eyebrows. However, they did not complain, even if they fell into the river, they must first save the same water. People. Just in front of the racehorse that is already standing at the starting line, only this goal can be achieved. Mountain and water have also expressed some disappointment
When the water is writing the fourth chapter, Takayama also completed the outline of the final chapter. The final chapter is the story of mountain rescue. Takayama said that although there was a lot of information before, the script did not progress. Since the plot outline of the final chapter has been completed, the mountain pleaded for help on the water, and the two men wrote the last three words separately, otherwise they could not finish it. It was imminent. In the end, the tenth and eleventh words were handed over to the water, and the last words were written by Takayama himself. Sugiyama, the producer of this work, once belonged to the mountaineering department at the university, and was a winter mountaineering experience. He asked him to discuss it in the mountains and on the water. He learned a lot about climbing the snowy mountains and encountering strong winds and camping on the mountains. Thing.After the completion of the script for
12th, Takayama also helped a little for the second half of the mirror, using the name of “Shimita Shimei”, the name is from the name of a horse. In the past, this pen name was used in the “Magic Star Magic Love Beauty”, but the subtitles at the end of the film turned “history” into “central.”
The last 13th words were not broadcast on TV. They were included in the 7th volume of the DVD in the form of OVA. According to the producer, Sugiyama, the words are in the form of an external chapter, but in fact It is the real final word, although the time in chronological order is earlier than the first. Because it is OVA, the time includes painting, and the time is relatively abundant, so the overall quality is also very stable. The outline of this episode is also written by Takayama. The content is actually the idea of obsolescence in the past. After that, it was re-upgraded and modified, and then it was hard-pressed to the water. It can be said that it is the most moderate atmosphere in the whole
The protagonist of the 13th words is the village standard of the general class. His prototype is the time when the crew went to the Komatsu base to entertain them. Kimura, who used to be a rescuer. Takayama said that he asked a lot of difficult questions when he was taking the materials. However, he answered them one by one and left a deep impression on the mountains. He hoped to leave him in the form of the characters in the play. Down, we will use Kimura as the prototype of the village
From the broadcast of the time to the release of BD for more than ten years, just a few days before the release, Ishiguro, who played the hometown of Sanzo, left the world, and in that month, she played the heroine Emi, Noto Machiko. There was good news about marriage and pregnancy. This is the case in life, mixed with joy and sadness
Finally, Takayama, who is a series of compositions and scripts, thanked the production team who had persisted under the tragic construction period, and thanked the audience who bought BD. I hope that viewers who have not seen this book will have the opportunity to fill this work and not let a good work be buried
