Masako Sato is a performer from Ghibli, and has cooperated with many industry masters including Takashi Hyun and Hara. “Anima Yell!” is a supervised debut of Sato Masako. Come and listen to how Sato started his first job as a supervisor. .

Sato’s goal before entering Ghibli was to perform, but because Ghibli didn’t perform at the time, he entered Ghibli as a painting. After spending a decade in Ghibli and finally halfway through the eleventh year, Sato left Ghibli and started a new career as a freelance performer. At the beginning, Sato started his work with a free performance. From the hands of Ghibli’s acquaintances, he received the work of Gao Yixun’s supervision of “Hui Ye Ji Wu Yu” and served as the original Huiyi in the “Hundred Days Red” production group. Supervised performance assistant. .

After that, he held important positions in “Volleyball Boys” and “Dancing Youth”, and worked with many well-known supervisors before Sato was supervised. In fact, after the first time he was supervised, no matter whether it was Miyazaki’s big work style or Gao Yanxun’s delicate and perceptual practice, Sato knew that he could not work like these masters. The original Huiyi, after Sato became the supervisor of “Anima Yell!”, also told Sato that “the first time he was supervised, he was busy.”

Topic Back to Sato’s animated animation “Anima Yell!”, after reading the original comics of “Anima Yell!”, Sato felt that the original work was very light and it was a lovely and interesting work. And the character in the comics Sato also likes it. This kind of brisk comic, Sato thinks that this is the first time for the supervised work, it is really suitable. .

After talking to the producer for the first time, Sato felt that this is a daily work. In fact, the cheer is also the charm of “Anima Yell!”, so the main tone of the work is “cute and handsome”. Sato hopes that “Anima Yell!” will become a work that will make the audience look energetic and inspire the audience to support them. .

In order to ensure the quality of the cheer dance, specially invited to the film’s cheer dance supervised Liu Xiazi, Sakamoto has a beauty choreographed for the cheer dance in the film. Also, please come to the cheer dance team Tokyo Girls (Tokyo ガールズ) to record the reference video according to the choreographer, and perform the work based on the performance and painting. .

Sato mentioned that cheer can also be divided into competitive cheer and dance cheer, in “Anima Yell!” is the essence of the two, the two are combined. Sato hopes that the girls who dance in the cheer dance must also watch the film, I believe that they can resonate with it. .

In the performance, cheer dance is undoubtedly the most important part of the film, so it is necessary to ensure that the dance is handsome enough. Always remember this point whether you are painting or performing. On the other hand, the daily laughter should also make the audience feel interesting. Pay special attention to restoring the rhythm of the original four-frame comics to the animation. Although it is very difficult, in order to respond to the expectations of the original fans, cheer and daily laughter are very important, can not give up any party. .

Also, since the main line of the original plot is very clear, the main line is just the original painting, which makes Sato’s work a lot easier. This can also make the main line plot and the smile point form a gap, so that the two sides set off each other. .

The first scene of the last Xiao Yu to the Japanese support is not only important in the first words, but also an important scene in the whole animation. Whether it’s painting or audio-related staff, Sato asks everyone to pay attention to this part. As for the loneliness of the knees with both hands and the support of Xiao Yu to the Japanese, what effect is in effect, Sato will be judged by the audience. .

The songs in the first part of the cheer dance also left a deep impression. The song is to find alternates from popular songs from different eras, and then choose the officially used songs. The standard for selecting songs is the lyrics, because the protagonists are high school students, so the lyrics should match their identity. At first, Sato considered using songs only in the part with cheer dance, but considering the need to advance the story, the use of the songs also has a part like the usage of songs in musicals. .
