From the Other Side of the Cloud, the Place of Agreement” in 2004, Miki Yoko supported the visual picture of “New Sea World” as photography and color design. In this “Child of the Weather”, Miki fully assisted Xinhaicheng in supervising his identity as a supervisor. At the same time of pursuing the ideal digital performance, Miki as a color design, is shouldering the work of conforming to the world view of the work and determining the color of the characters in each shot

From the perspective of assisting supervision, in the eyes of Miki, Xinhai Supervisor’s most important focus on this image is the performance of “cloudy” and “rain”. Although the nature of this work is an extension of the previous works, this time is based on the “era of the weather”, so the scenes of cloudy and rain are exceptional

In order to let the audience feel the gorgeous side of the image, and how to show continuous rainfall, Miki constantly explores. Cloudy and rain are simple, but depending on the time zone, the hue will change, and the rain will be more diverse. At the same time, as a color design, Miki also studied with the art supervisor

Speaking of the performance of cloudy and rain, it is naturally reminiscent of another work by Xin Haicheng, “The Court of Words.” The color design of “Yi Ye Zhi Ting” was jointly undertaken by Miki and Xinhai, while Xinhai took over the work of original work, supervision, scripting, mirroring, performance, color design, editing and photography supervision. From this work, it is enough to see Xin Hai’s persistence in imagery is also a work filled with his ideal performance. In the “Child of the Weather”, there are also many shots that are aware of “The Court of Words.”

In order to show the ideal cloudy and rainy day, Miki first set up a group with the visual effect (VFX) to supervise Li Zhoumei to express the charm of the rain. In addition, to the painting team, how to distinguish from the background art in the performance of the rain, how to deal with technical aspects such as how to deal with multiple exposures. In addition, Miki also discussed the processing method of the transparent umbrella that appeared in the work to the photography supervisor Tsuda Ryosuke. The water droplets were not colored with a single cyan color, but should also reflect the color matching of the background

Xinhai Supervisor is a famous “photographer” in the animation industry. You can also feel more than “Your name” in this work. “There must be intense photographic processing. However, Miki said that in fact, this work is not produced by “supervising and leading”, but is first responsible for the responsible persons of each project. This is also a major challenge for Xinhai Supervision and its team. Therefore, from this point of view, the photography of this work is more than the “new seafood”, more is the personal characteristics of photography supervision Tsuda Ryosuke

And the personal characteristics that Miki played in this work are in the color design part. In the past, the work of Xin Haicheng was mainly based on the color matching of Xinhai, so that the detailed color matching was decided. In this work, the color assignment was based on the video segmentation

Regarding color, the art supervisor has also made a contribution. The color of the background art is responsible for the color of the mouth. Usually, the color of the character is combined with the art board to create a color template. This time, the art background is first. Confirmed by Xinhai Supervisor, after passing, Miki decided the color of the characters and props. In addition, photography supervised Tsudak to add post-production photography to both the background art and the characters, and all the links were made with the ideal image of Xinhai

The male protagonist Mori Island sails high color templates.

Xinhai pursues a sense of presence, and the art board is only set, and will not appear on the final screen. It is the picture that the camera sees. For the fine art background used in the film, where to stack the light, the area of the color, and the atmosphere to create, it is necessary to carry out many precise calculations to produce the desired color. What color would I use if it was Xinhai? While you want to associate the colors used by Xinhai, you have to come up with your own ideas, and then discuss with Xinhai, and finally decided by Miki, Xinhai has its own answer, but each department must also come up with their own answers

The color designation team is composed of CoMix Wave Films. It is not only easy to communicate, but also experienced veterans. In addition to the works of Xinhai Supervisor, they have also participated in other site-specific color assignments. Experience. The key to color design is to think about how to express the atmosphere that this scene is pursuing, and to come up with colors that are close to the requirements of the show. It is not the evening scene that should use such a color, but to give the impression of the audience should be used in what color, to be interesting, to have visibility

Hue can reflect the mood of the character.

Xinhai’s work is often said to be a “real shot animation”, Sanmu does not agree with this, so what is the ideal image of Xinhai? Miki’s understanding is to implement the image of the new sea’s subjective impression in the picture. For example, the performance of the light, even if the composition looks like a real shot, but in addition to the light, it is required to add a backlight color. This also makes the staff feel quite embarrassed, and reading the images pursued by Xinhai is also a big problem for the team

In the recent work of Xinhai, I gradually felt the charm of the character, which is one of the things that Miki thinks is the focus of this work. There are many characters in the debut, and the span of the ages makes the “Child of the Weather” feel different charms compared with the past works. In addition, this final message is also the idea that Xinhai wants to convey like young people today. Miki said that he can resonate with this message, and I hope that all the officials can feel it
