On the importance of maintaining good health when making “Working Cells”

“Working cells” as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, T cells, macrophages, basophils, etc., the body of more than 37 trillion cells in the daily living state of the endorsement works, cut into the perspective is quite unique. The TV animated version of the show is in the July issue of the hit, to listen to the original view of the clear water and supervise Suzuki’s pair of animation adaptations. .

At the beginning, Shimizu was not prepared for the animation of his work, so when he got the news from the editor, Shimizu was not very real. Nowadays, I see the characters created by my own pens, live vividly in the cartoons, and listen to the noisy and noisy sounds of the cells that are active in the human body, and I really feel the feeling of presence. .

Suzuki Kenichi started reading the original work after taking over the supervision task of the film. He is optimistic about the impact of the anthropomorphic concept of the cell, and the setting is quite thorough, from the role to the overall world view, all-round anthropomorphism. For example, on the buildings in the cell world, there are even large-scale slogans, and the details of various grounding gases in the book are set, and the real life is everywhere. .

Suzuki Supervisor I admire a unique style and prefer to try the types of works that others have not done, so I am happy to challenge these rare themes. However, the supervision considers that the works that he has handled before are mostly “male”, which is far from the tone of “Working Cell” and the aesthetic orientation of “Ugly is beautiful”. Therefore, in order to prevent deviation from the route and ensure balance This drama invites Kyuko Yuko to be a series of components, and deliberately increases the proportion of female animators in the production team, fully mobilizing their keen intuition and initiative in capturing the elements of “cute” and “handsome”, making the works Use color matching or character dynamics to maintain the original flavor as much as possible. .

Practice has proved that this effect has been remarkable, at least in the eyes of the original author, the animated version of the interpretation of bacteria and viruses is in place. Suzuki Supervisor honestly admitted that during the production process, those who were accused by the female painter of being “disgusting”, he sincerely listened to the opinions and reworked one by one. At last, there was no bad influence on the clean and beautiful style of Shimizu’s teacher. On the other hand, as a major attraction of the film, the invasion of bacteria, the fight against the evil spirits and other struggles, because this is the strength of supervision, since it is not allowed, how to come. .

Diffuse the work, involving a lot of details, the original paintings have changed the style of the painting, it is also a common thing, then you need to extract the average value in the role setting, come up with a compromise. After negotiating with Yoshida Takahiko, who was in charge of the person in charge, I felt that the square highlights used by Shimizu’s eyes were very characteristic, because under normal circumstances, the cartoonist would prefer to draw the eyes of the cute character into a round highlight, which can be the highlight of the red blood cell. The square is the square, so the animated version also decided to use the square highlights. As the saying goes, “the painter has no intention to see the heart,” and supervises the major findings of the joint painstaking research. After the Shimizu teacher was explained in person, it was a sudden reaction. .

It can only be said that the long-term experience of the industry has enabled professional animators such as Suzuki to practice their eyes and eyes, and their eyes will always be able to turn around in various details. In order to let the audience experience the “dynamic clear water picture book”, Suzuki Supervisor and Yoshida Takahiko and Yuji Koji will often analyze and discuss the “character” of the cartoonist. .

The animation of the work, so that Shimizu’s first close contact with the animation production, all the stories made her feel fresh. According to her, the animation of the mirror is full of movement, looking through the mirror as if watching a movie. Especially when Shimizu saw that the way of moving the animation was mostly consistent with the idea of painting when he was painting, he was both surprised and moved. But in Suzuki’s supervision, these are just the most basic things. .

Follow the topic and talk about whether Shimizu’s teacher usually likes to watch animation. Shimizu said that he did not watch cartoons at the moment. However, he was very fond of the “Detective Sherlock Holmes” directed by Hayao Miyazaki (the TV animation played in 1984-85), Miyazaki Supervised participated in the first six supervisions and performances. Later, it was also released in the theatrical version. It is said that because of the type of debut in the debut role including the villain, the children who originally belonged to the guestlike nature in the drama showed their talents and did not lose to adults. Let her look very enjoyable, so when I was young, Shimizu repeatedly read it many times.

When it comes to the charm of the characters who appear, and the Suzuki supervision that likes the fighting code, the male character naturally supports the white blood cells, which is convenient for him to play on the action scenes. In addition, the supervisor is very concerned about platelets, and the person who cares for the painting must make the platelets cute! To draw the texture that touches the “Q bomb”. .

In addition, Suzuki Supervisor regards the background of the work as one of the protagonists, and often emphasizes this point to the art supervisor Jolin. Based on the importance of the background in this work, Suzuki’s headaches are the ones that have not been seen in the original work. In order not to go wrong, he will put himself in the position of a cartoonist. In principle, for those scenes based on the plot, the forecast will definitely appear in the original section of the animation. The supervisor will consult the teacher of Shimizu in advance, and in some one-off scenes, the production team will find a way to fix it. For example, there is no elevator in the original, but the development of the animation story really needs, you will first ask the teacher of Shimizu. .

Shimizu teacher is sincerely admired, and the animated version will add and restore the places that are not carefully drawn in the comics. Like the propaganda slogans in the factory, because the space is limited in the comics, the text is not actually displayed, so I can only ask the teacher of Qingshui. What did you write on the top? Under the efforts of the art painters, the propaganda slogan of the original background of the animation was carefully completed and achieved excellent results. The teacher of Qingshui was extremely grateful. .

This is not unrelated to the “details to determine success or failure” that Suzuki Supervisor has always pursued. According to him, Zeng Yeyue and Qiaokou Hao Er, who are responsible for the art setting, are tirelessly portrayed and refused to let go of the limits of animation. Every detail. .

Another feature of animation and comics is coloring. However, this is a chore that consumes brain cells. In addition to collecting the original cover, color pages and other materials for reference, the rest of the black and white pages need to be imagined by the production staff. In fact, the Shimizu teacher cannot check all the cuts at all times. Sometimes, it is only by guessing. .

Supervisor claims to be equipped with a “Clear Water Translator” in his mind to try to figure out what the original idea is. And jokingly said that he cultivated a “small clear water” in his heart. However, this kind of day and night “mourning” of someone obviously makes the teacher of Qingshui somewhat uncomfortable. .

But to be honest, the details of the first sentence of the animation are restored, even the original author is amazed. At the thought of the huge amount of work involved behind this, Shimizu even worried that the Suzuki supervision would not conflict with the production staff on the scene. In the large factory of the lungs, the scrolling and subtitles on the display and electronic screens are displayed one by one, showing the subtle martial arts. It can be seen that in order to let the teacher of Qingshui not leave any regrets on the animated version, Suzuki Supervisor is really fighting. .

In addition, Suzuki Supervisor is quite interested in the effect of the soundtrack. Because of the observation angle of “Working Cells”, even small bruises are equivalent to the world wars of life and death. Suzuki Supervisor believes that this humorous mechanism formed by the deviation from the general perception of the public is worthy of great use. Therefore, when the instructions for the corresponding companion composing are given, it is clearly stated how “how to exaggerate the movement”. To put it bluntly, it is to try to render the panic and despair in the disaster-like movie “The End of the World” at the moment when the Japanese metasequoia pollen floats. Imagine that the toss is so earth-shattering that people turn their heads and turn over. In the end, they only want to break through the skin, and the audience does not blame in the heart. This is very interesting. .

If you talk about the popularity of the characters in “Working Cells”, the red and white blood cells of the close-up screen are self-explanatory, and the soft-blooded platelets are also very popular. The B-cells are unexpectedly popular with the authors. It is necessary to count macrophages. When Shimizu’s teacher draws a comic version of the macrophage, the heart is still very enjoyable, but the on-site animators seem to be discouraged by the macrophages, even called “animator killer.” You must know that the complicated folds of lace make the group complain, because the original painting is too thin, the animation will definitely collapse. Also for the artist, the three characters of the character comb, the pen is blood and tears! .

Again, the basophils of the second disease are also very stealthy. Suzuki Supervision greatly appreciates the inclusion of basophils. At his request, the performance of the actor was released and funny, and there were many impromptu benefits. At present, the role of seiyuu has not been announced, but the supervision guarantees that there is absolutely good play to watch. In short, looking at the film’s seiyuu array, it can not be said that it is not luxurious, and the casting angle is also appropriate.

Then, I explored the correct way to open “Working Cells.” Suzuki Supervisor suggested that when watching animations, you can use everything in the film as a live broadcast in the viewer’s body. As a result, you will pay more attention to your own health. After all, if you are making science care. It is a great irony to overdraw the health of the work and become a “strike cell.” .

By the way, Shimizu’s teacher mentioned the original intention of the creation of the work, mainly to reduce the burden of studying immunology in Japanese and high school students. Therefore, the teacher hopes that the students will join in the school. Moreover, the subject of partial medicine may become the motive of some readers to apply for medical school, and Suzuki Supervisor is also willing to persuade people to study medicine. .

Finally, Suzuki Supervisor hopes to deepen people’s understanding of their own bodies and their thinking about health issues through the easy-to-understand interpretation of the drama. Because, once you reach the microcosm as a cell, you will find that our body is not as mechanical, boring, and dogmatic as a textbook. On the contrary, it is a busy and busy figure of cells everywhere, full of laughter when working. World. The teacher of Shimizu hopes that everyone will be happy, and at the same time, I would like to thank the Suzuki Supervisor for her meticulous and dedicated dedication. Of course, if you are interested, it is also recommended to watch it carefully at any time. .
