The colorful and slender art background can be said to be a great charm of Xin Haicheng’s works. As the master of the new work “The Son of the Weather”, it is the mouth-to-mouth ratio of Xinhai’s supervised works since the pursuit of the children of the stars. Lv Zhi

In “Your name. At the time, the mouth was invited, I hope he can be your name. The art supervision of the “,” at that time, because of the work of other works, the mouth was only involved in the production of a small part in the name of art setting

After that, your name was held in Dongbao. “Thanks to the banquet, the producer Ishito Ichiro once again found the mouth of the mouth, hoping that he would be able to take over the art supervision of the next work of Xinhai. I saw “your name. After the filming of the film, the mouth was so moved, determined to provoke this burden, and readily agreed. After that, after a year, the work of art officially began

The first thing I read was the story outline and plan book written by Xinhai. The first impression was interesting. However, after seeing the video that Xinhai gave him, the mouth was somewhat “repent”, not only the scene. More than the previous works, and the use of more stereo photography techniques than in the past, but also need to cooperate with CG, in short, is not an easy errand

Sakaguchi first drew a few drafts of art settings, and then discussed with everyone to determine the overall direction. To some extent, when everyone sees the first draft of the draft, the mouth has decided to use 3D to do it. Apartments like Yangcai, Suga’s office, abandoned building… In addition to some too small parts and many shots, the lens needs to be switched back and forth as much as possible in 3D. In this respect, the art supervision assistant Watanabe will also help, in short, the model can be used first in the 3D

At the same time, it also considers the problem of work efficiency. This time, Layout (composition) is also used more 3D, and Xinhai Supervisor is very particular about the lens. If these 3D models are done in advance, the subsequent adjustments are relatively convenient. In fact, the composition of the lens will change according to the change of the lens. Therefore, when making the art background, the CG team’s Yanliang Lianggui also joined in and discussed together to determine the perspective. The Layout of the Son of the Weather is divided into three modes: 3D Layout, replacement with a taken photo, and a layout drawn with a pencil, depending on the situation

Most of the movies in this time are cloudy scenes. Before the filming, the mouth is also looking forward to seeing these scenes. Although there are many outdoor scenes, the indoors is also the highlight of this time. Like some indoor props and placements, the mouth will be considered according to the life habits and growth experiences of each character. The character’s personality will be expressed from the usual small details, and compared with the somewhat gloomy atmosphere outside. In a sense, when you draw these backgrounds, you have to go through some calculations. Although there are some invisible parts in the actual scene, for example, Xinhai Supervisor suddenly asked to move the lens, but the mouthpiece also hopes to put these “small actions” into the picture as much as possible

Sakaguchi personally likes this kind of information background, and every staff responsible for the background will also put some thoughts on it when drawing, making the world view richer and fuller. Sakaguchi said that in fact, he had to leave a special white in the setting stage, in order to let the actual person in charge add the elements of improvisation, resulting in a different chemical reaction. This also allows the viewer to notice small details that were not noticed before each time they look at it. In fact, the film that Sakaguchi saw was more abundant than he expected

Most of the outdoor scenes are in Tokyo. These are the common sights for Sakaguchi, but they also have troubles. From the unfolding of the story to the ending, thinking about the actual framing part, if it can only leave people with beautiful and colorful words, it is the failure of this work. From the content, the direction of art has also undergone a great change. What is needed is to carry out art work while considering the intention of Xinhai Supervision. In the end, some of the colors will go closer to the dark side. Although there is a lot of places that I wouldn’t normally go to this time, there is no place for this. If the color is not in the real world, I will try my best in color according to the situation in the work

The place that has not been visited, for example, the interior of Kabukicho, has to refer to some TV dramas, such as “Dark Gold Ugly Island Jun” and “Shinjuku Swan”. At the time of production setting, Shinkai also recommended it to Sakaguchi. The TV series “Break the Door”, such as the counter of Suga Office, is the inspiration from “The Break”

This “Child of the Weather” drama is almost a rainy scene, like “The Garden of Words”, rain is also a vital element. Sakaguchi was intended to be drawn on the basis of “Yi Ye Zhi Ting”, but if you do it according to the same feeling, this is contrary to the purpose of Sakaguchi: I don’t like to repeat the same thing. Therefore, the mouth of the mouth decided to go beyond the “Yi Ye Zhi Ting” to strengthen the performance of “wetness”

The so-called “wet sputum” performance is mainly reflected in the “wet state” of the road and building when it rains. The amount of information on cloudy days is at least twice that of sunny days. Although the background can’t draw the falling raindrops, the color reflected on the water and the water droplets attached to the glass window need to be more delicately depicted, in order to express the rich “expression” of the rain. This can be reflected in the water rafts in the Shinjuku alley and the water drops falling from the natural gas meter

The color of the background, the green impression of “Yi Ye Zhi Ting” is particularly strong, this time the overall color is cold. According to the mouth, the objects that are generally wet by the rain will become darker in color, and the rain will continue to give a gloomy impression. However, in order to reflect the air in which the space is located, the whole is green and blue. Colour

The rest of the flat that can impress people is the office of Suga and the flat of Yangcai. Sakaguchi also designed the impressions for these two places. After all, the scenes in these two places are used by themselves. The color of the features will also make the work more colorful. Suga’s office chose a green department. Although there were not many green items in the office, the plants outside the window and the foliage plants placed indoors were adjusted to give the audience a green impression. The flat in Yangcai uses a warm orange or yellow color. In addition, in terms of props, the office has more paper placed, while the flat of Yangcai is more cloth, reflecting the overall color tone from the contrast of object texture

From the “Children chasing the stars”, they worked together with Xinhai Supervisor. During the period, the most experienced thing about Xinkou from Xinhai was “evolution.” Not only in the image, but also in the story, the mouth is also more deep and intriguing than before. The audience will have a lot of ideas when they look at it, and the angle is increased. From the point of view of entertainment, it is also fuller and intoxicating. I can really feel that Xinhai is making movies for the sake of the audience. From this perspective alone, we can feel that Xinhai Supervision and its works are constantly evolving

When I was young, I often looked at the problem in the first person. As I grew older, the angle of seeing the problem became more diverse and I began to think about the audience. However, one’s thoughts always take precedence. Even if you are an art supervisor, you will eventually have to discuss with the whole team and learn from others. This will be better communicated to more audiences. Therefore, this time the production method is different from the past. Especially large. Taking this as an opportunity, the audience will be more considered in the future, allowing the audience to think more deeply about the work
