How is social dance animation made?

Born in March, 1980, he was born on March 17, 1980. He was responsible for important positions in the work of “Men’s Agent” and “The Detective of Pirates”. The important works that participated in the original paintings include “The Wind” and “Computer Coil”. In recent years, the work is mainly the character design of “Hundred Days Red”, all the EDcard drawing of “JOKER GAME” and the speculative performance of the eleventh episode, as well as the first part of the animated part of the stage drama “Three Gods of God”. “Dancing Youth” is the first time he is responsible for the supervision of TV animation. .


The original TV artist’s first TV animation supervision.

First of all, I talked about the reason for the supervision of “Dancing Youth”. Banjin has always been responsible for painting-related work, such as painting supervision and character design, but as the work qualifications grow, I naturally come into contact with the performance work. With the invitation of the producer Panasonic Keiko – “Would you like to try to supervise it?” So he took the job with a test of his mind. .

Later, Izuzu read the original work of “Dancing Youth” and found it very interesting. At the same time, the work was full of enthusiasm and doubted whether his strength could make an adaptation of this animation. Compared with ordinary sports works, the protagonist of this work is much less than the part of thinking and brainstorming. It is more about watching other people’s play and feelings. This is very similar to Banjin because of the work life of Banjin. It is also basically followed by a group of masters who are bigger than themselves. In addition to retaining the enthusiasm in the original work, the use of lines is also intended to be preserved. .

In terms of team formation, the first is responsible for the composition of the series and the script of the whole story. At the end, I was familiar with the stage play before. When I think that he can participate, it will be very interesting. In addition, because the producer Panasonic Keiko has followed the team of “Volleyball Boys”, there are many trustworthy members. In addition, there are several original paintings that Banjin himself called, such as Fifty-Five Yougui and Takenaka Shingo. The team as a whole is the person that Panasonic knows and the people who know him. .

The eleventh episode of the impressive stereoscopic long lens is the responsibility of Fifty Fathoms. .


Resource allocation under the control of the number of sheets.

Although the animation of dance themes must require a lot of paintings, but the producers have limited requirements for the number of paintings. In the first half, it is necessary to spend a lot of dancing like Xianshi and Bingteng. The number is counted, but Duo Duoliang is still not high at the time, so it doesn’t have to be beautiful and smooth. In the case of the balance cup competition, the organizer Mr. Tian Ping said that the style of too many good is the performance of the moment is very attractive, so the performance has to do closer to this aspect. This aspect is different from the theatrical animations that have been in constant contact with the past. It is closer to the style of the Uzaki animation. If it is too arrogant, the people in the next step will definitely be unable to control. Considering the burden of animation, coloring and photography, it is necessary to control the total amount of painting. . .

Paintings pay more attention to expressions and postures. There are parts in social dance that show specific postures. How to draw this part is also a big topic in the production of this film. There are lighting methods before and after the change, and the background is changed. Change the color and so on. .

In addition to the paintings outside the dance paintings, Banjin is basically free to play the original paintings of the masters. I will check the layout. There are many details on the screen, and the eyelashes are particularly detailed. These are basically the merits of supervising Chiba Chongyang and Honda, and there is no such detail on the character design table done by Kawada Takahiro. This close-to-illustrative and meticulous painting, the hard work of the animators behind Can not be ignored. It is also true that the time for animation check and animation must be sufficient. The important close-ups are arranged in advance for them. Only in this way can you get a picture of the hand. At the same time, these animators are still very high, and will add details according to the lines of the original painting. .

And the situation on the IG side is not only animation, but the people in each link are very strong, because the animation link cannot be foolproof because of the construction period. Some unimportant shots have to be outsourced, and the quality of the return may not be as good. People’s minds, then the IG’s coloring may be seen as a correction, to correct the character’s face, from this point of view, the overall staff is very powerful. Banjin added that an animation wants a good picture. The high level of light original painting is not enough. It is also necessary to give sufficient working time for each link in the future. The personnel in these links are directly displayed on the screen.

As a supervisor, Banjin is definitely a target in addition to the necessary full-length mirrors and scripts. The first 12 episodes of the layout of Banjin are also checked. After 12 episodes, Banjin feels that in addition to the dance lens, the following personnel can already rely on it. They also understand the effects and requirements that the supervisor wants. Before, because Banjin and many of them were only the first time to cooperate, they still need to try and correct the correct link. After 12 episodes, Banjin basically only looked at the more complicated and troublesome parts and the number of sets responsible for the performance. .


How exaggerated dance styles are formed.

The film arranged two action painting supervisors to be responsible for the dance scenes. The first and second episodes of the neck have a very long performance and are very styleful to Tian Long. Xiang Tian also understands the effect that Banjin needs, that is, the emphasized posture. And exaggerated performance, another action painting supervised Liang Boya is following the style of Xiangtian, of course, in the latter episodes, Liang also began to show his own style. .

Of course, the exaggerated painting method of Xiangtian is not to say that the first episode of the film began to be painted. When the film was still in the planning stage, Banjin made a dance original painting and made related photography. Test the video, then find the discussion to the field, and then tell Tian that such ordinary realistic dance moves are too boring, adding some exaggerated performance in the animation is better, such as stretching the neck, lowering the shoulders, chest and abdomen. The first episode of Duo’s DVD is the original painting of Xiang Tian, and it is also the prototype of the dance painting. Of course, it is not only the human body that exaggerates the positive film, but the swing of the skirt of the clothes and pants is also very exaggerated. .

.

Recently, the board of directors of Tsutsumi has tried the dance screen at the planning stage that is open on Twitter. Obviously there is no exaggeration. .

.

The first episode to Tian Long’s original painting. .

The first episode was completed in October 2016, and the animation was launched in July 2017. As a TV animation, it is still ample time, relatively exaggerated dance painting, daily painting or traditional realistic style, dance The unification of movements is also due to the in-depth factors involved in the supervision of action painting. However, in the second half of the day, it was really tense. Therefore, the dance scene should be painted as much as possible for the trustworthy, fifty-five-you-you, Zhuhua Jianwu and others at the scene. .

Outsourcing is also available, the second episode, the sixth episode and the fourteenth episode. In these episodes, I have drawn a lot of reference prairie paintings during the plate inspection. In the first 12 episodes, many original painters have not yet Through the dance movements, Banjin also painted a lot of dance prairie paintings, showing what kind of posture is here. What kind of movement is here? After the original painting is completed, the painting supervision is carried out to improve the precision. After the 12th episode, there is no need for this. They are all handed over to the action painting supervision. .

2016 Banjin is responsible for all the Endcards of Joker Game. The Endcard of the seventh sentence actually implies the work after him. During that period, he learned social dance while working. Of course, he not only went to the dance classroom but also visited many social activities. The dance competition, in addition to the cooperation of professional dance instructors, specifically asked the teacher of Yoshida of the Mitaka Dance Classroom for details. .


The division of work at the performance level.

Although Banjin has been working in the industry for a long time, but the painting “The Dancing Youth” is the third time (the first two ares “Joker Game” and “Three Gods”), check others’ The split mirror is the first time. In addition, the mirrors of Banjin are all drawn on the digital production computer. The digital has a lot of convenience, and it is also convenient to make other people’s notes on the mirror, and also add color. .

The performance of the board is very grateful to Sato Masako and Okuno Masao, especially when Sato is not asking for anything in the 23rd words. Sato has already understood the effect that Banjin needs. In addition, the help of the original Huiyi was obtained on the mirror. For the original Huiyi, it may be the mirror for the TV animation for the first time in recent decades. Banjin believes that the mirror of the original character is very strong, that is, sometimes Draw a lens that is difficult to express in TV animation. The fifth episode is the original one, and the sixth episode is the collaboration between the two. Because the original photo of the dance is not known how to draw, so this part It was handed over to Banjin, so there was a situation of cooperation between the two people. In the 11th episode, two people were in the opposite half, and the 13th episode was the original Huiyi all-inclusive. There was no dance lens in this episode, but it was the technology with the largest number of paintings in the whole. Because there are a lot of acting skills, Shiga Shintaro is also a very talented person.

In addition, the tenth episode of Huang Qi and Yu’s performances was returned. The total painting supervisor did not intervene at all, and the motion painting supervision only repaired a little. Banjin felt that it was rare for Mr. Huang to want to be a prisoner, so let him be good. It makes sense to play. At that time, Huang Wei also had the work of “from the abyss”, so some of the lenses were painted like “children from the abyss”, and there are many personal personalities in addition to the shadow. .

Mr. Okuno is the original painter. In the eighth and the nineteenth episodes, he is also responsible for the performance of the spectacle. Because it used to be a painting, there is a sense of duration. Basically, the number of Okuno’s in charge is not only checked. The mirror, the other part is basically not involved. In addition, the supervision of “Volleyball Boy” Man Zhongxun also participated in the split mirror, although Banjin did not watch “Volleyball Boy” but because of the participation of Man Zhongxun and several performances in the volleyball class, I also learned some performance techniques in “Volleyball Boys”. And techniques. .

As we all know, because the original comic book writer Takeuchi was stopped because of illness, the progress of the animated version exceeded the original in the last episode, but because the original outline is already done, the overall plot will still follow the original, the protagonist The growth of Duo Duoliang is still the theme, but there is room for Banjin to play in the details. For example, the reaction of the supporting role such as Heshou and the small characters in the audience’s seats are the original animation. .

The film also has some 3D elements, that is, the “passer-by” dancers of the dance scene are all made in 3D. Here, they also made a lot of suggestions to the 3D team, for example, they hope to move more like animation, and the skirt hopes more. Gone a little, here to make a beat or two, etc., when putting together the characters of the painting, try not to let the audience feel a sense of violation. In addition to the very small number of complex lenses that require 3D for reference, all of them are purely painted. In addition, the composition of the contest venues may have 3Dlayout for perspective. .

Finally, I asked if I had a feeling of doing this, and I thought I still did a lot of things that I should not do. In short, it is very enjoyable to communicate with people in different links, put forward their own ideas, let them accept, and then make finished products. .
