The supervision of “Liz and Jade Bird” Yamada, who asked Westinghouse to ask “Liz and Jade Bird” how to do it, Westing only knew the plan of the Jade Bird for the first time. At first, Westinghouse thought that Yamada was joking. Understand “Liz and Jade Bird” as “Blow it!” After the independent theater version derived from Euphonium, Westinghouse was interested in this work, and after further understanding the content and concept of Jade Bird, Westinghouse took the job with confidence.

Although Yamada is a series of performances by Jing Bing, Yamada tells Westinghouse that he wants to create an independent world view for Jade Bird. Therefore, from the beginning, Westinghouse and Yamada reached a consensus on the “beauty” and “transparency” of the girl through “Blue Bird”.

In order to design a person who fits in with the unique atmosphere of “Blue Bird”, West House draws the air in the Yamada mirror and modifies it over and over again. Because the Jade Bird is a meticulously portrayed subtle emotion, Westinghouse thinks that the character should be as slim as a girl’s comic, so the character’s head is taller, the neck is more slender, and the hands and feet are more slender.

Although Ikeda’s fleshy, animated beauty is also a great person, but because of this person’s emphasis on real feelings, Westinghouse has changed the person’s design into a less sensible look. In the end, in order to achieve the effect that Yamada wanted, the Jade Birds were changed five or six times. In the two main characters, the people of Ximei and Ximei are more difficult to grasp the essentials than the latter. The density of the bangs and the performance of the eye acting are all bothering Westinghouse. After Westinghouse discovered that as long as the eyes of the sly eyes were slouched, the squatting person would appear calm and stable.

The blue-eyed fairy tale set up, Yamada bought a lot of Nordic-style picture books for Westinghouse for reference, and did not mention specific requirements, basically let Westinghouse free to play. Because the atmosphere of the fairy tale is simpler than the real film, Westinghouse initially thought if it was a little more animated. But think about this fairy tale is not a brisk story, so the final head is more realistic than what Westinghouse originally expected.

Because the story of the film is basically not leaving the school, the clothing other than the uniform does not need to be painted at all, so the work has a strong sense of box. Because it is all uniforms, Westinghouse reflects the natural posture of the character through details such as the length of the sleeves and the outline of the character’s dress. This adjustment also makes the body shape of the Ximeibi be more bumpy.

As for the new character, Pear Blossoms first asked Ikeda to draw a version of the design, and then Westinghouse took the useful elements from the Yamada paintings, and finally designed a cute character unique to Yamada’s supervision work. Yoko is only slightly shortening his hair. In other respects, he has little difference with the third-grade version of Ikeda’s paintings. Xia Ji is slightly more handsome. When designing the Kumiko people, Westinghouse paid considerable attention to the performance of the fluffy curls. Renee did not make any changes, but the sincere and sincere eyes were reserved by Westinghouse. Both Luhui and Yeyue were designed to be more plain than the Ikeda version.

“Blue Bird” pursues a part that has a girlish feeling, such as a beautiful, slender, dreamy, slender hand and foot. In order to express the charm of the girls from the time of the mirror, as in the reality of the girls in the real world, at the painting meeting, Westinghouse emphasized to the painters to fully read the mirrors and fully understand the intelligence and intentions on the mirrors. . Westinghouse believes that it is more important than anything to participate in the production of Yamada’s works, taking the nuance of the mirror and then painting. This time, the performance part did not stump Westinghouse, because the two TVs have been honed by the previous two.

Finally, Westinghouse hopes that everyone who has seen the TV version and the viewer who has not seen the TV version will personally feel the unique air feeling in the work “Liz and Jade Bird”.
