In January of this year, “A place farther away from the universe”, relying on the shape of a large figure and a solid setting, vividly tells a new story of “high school girls going to the South Pole”. .
After the journey of the protagonist and his party, “Febri” magazine produced a full 36-page “Farther than the Universe” topic in July 2018. Through interviews with the founders, we will review this for us. Works that bring me many unforgettable memories. .
The characters appearing in the animation have a personal style and a masterpiece to supervise Jisong Xiaobo’s strong personal style, and at the same time combine the current popular elements. The veteran animator, who had been in contact with Shijie Dunzi (いしづかあつこ) just over a decade ago, met her. .
At that time, Jisong saw a beautiful woman who was incompatible with the atmosphere of the animation production. He was very confused in the studio: “Who is this person?” Asked everyone knows, NHK TV station “みんなのうた” program broadcast The “Monument of the Moon” animation supervision is the young man who joined the Mad House shortly after graduation from the university. .
.
“月のワルツ” was broadcasted very enthusiastically. Although it was broadcasted from October to November 2014, it became the most popular work received by NHK in 2014. This song has also become a masterpiece of the singer Lushan. . The fact of
Made Gisson shocked. However, the animation of “Yue の ワルツ” is very avant-garde, Ji Song thought, the person who made this kind of work, and he is afraid that there will be no intersection. .
The intersection came earlier than Jisong imagined. The OVA series OVA, which was released in 2011, was supervised by Miyazawa and Ishiguro Tatsuko, and Jisong served as the person-in-chief and master painting supervisor. He is very happy about this. .
.
Jisong was serialized on Web Anime Style at the time. 图片 Columns. I mentioned that when I called Shijie “beauty”, Ishiguro would be angry. .
After the actual cooperation, Jisong discovered that Shijie supervision is not only superb in painting, but basically everything will be done. In the two supervisions of “Evil Forces”, the Palace Supervisor is responsible for the hard-core part, while the Shiji supervision is responsible for the emotional part. Because the things that were made at that time were too sensational, Ji Song also gave her a nickname called “エモやん”. .
After that, the two had no working relationship for a while. Until Shijie Supervisor began to make his own original plan, Ji Songsong was appointed as the person. That plan is now the “farther than the universe.” .
Although the TV anime “The Prince of Scooting” aired before “Farther than the Universe”, the two had cooperated; but it was decided after Gisson received the invitation to create the original painting. Of. .
When attending “The Prince of Scurrying”, Ji Song began to consult with Shi Yan and adjust his style. It may be because Ishigaki Supervisor was not a housewife who was watching a lot of animations. She is very keen on analyzing recent animations and studying them. Gisson believes that she may be summing up the trends and coping methods of today’s animation. .
Jisong remembers that at that time, Shi Jie supervision and himself talked about the outer corner of the character. She said: “If you use force on the outer corner of your eye, the style will look old-fashioned.” Jisong listened, such as 醍醐 top. .
Just as Gisson listened to the supervision of Shijie, the planning experienced a period of preparation. In September 2016, Gisson traveled to France. During this time, he picked up the iPad, and the letter drawn a sketch of the characters. “A place farther than the universe” officially entered the design stage. .
After that, Jisong repeatedly received criticism from Shi Jie’s supervision and revised it repeatedly. Ishigaki’s supervision specifically named the characters of several animation works that were in the fire at that time. Gisson got the character list of these works and studied and improved the design. He looked at the character list and just felt awkwardly “this character looks good” and would not notice the details. The Shiji supervision can design these characters to be refined into specific languages and tell him.
For example, for the painting of hair, Shijie supervision will put forward an opinion: “The current hair is popular with the design of udon noodles.” Because Ishigaki supervised myself to paint, the two came to me by painting you. The exchanges made a little of glamorous characters. .
Because the opinions of Shijie supervision have changed a lot, it is the hairstyle of the character. Although the hair style of each character is relatively conservative, Shijie supervision has made meticulous adjustments and added charm points to make the hairstyle more fashionable. .

In the “Farther than the Universe”, the adult characters have painted the bridge of the nose, but the noses of the four heroes have been omitted. This is because the Shiji supervision proposed that it is possible to clearly reflect the age difference between the adult group and the high school student group on the screen. Ji Song suggested that while the body shape is different, the nose bridge is also used to distinguish two groups of people: the nose of the high school student group is removed, and the high beam is used to make the nose. .
Although this is Jisong’s own proposal, but it actually encountered a lot of difficulties, and dragged the production. The nose of the animated style is the “mark of beauty.” It is very hard to get rid of the bridge of the nose and paint the newspaper as a beauty. Moreover, the character in “A place farther from the universe” will draw nostrils. It’s not uncommon to see the beautiful girl animation of the nostrils. This is a big challenge. .
The highlight of the character’s outline is the idea of Ishigaki’s supervision. Highlighting near the outline is a tradition of Jisong’s Studio Live, and many works will do the same; but what Jisong is directly aware of in this work is the animated film “To Communicate Your Voice” by Mad House. . Both animations are about high school girls, all of which are works by Mad House. The production period is similar, and the staff on both sides of the studio know each other. .
.
Anitama has also been. 大篇幅介绍过 “Want to convey your voice.” This is also a masterpiece depicting the youth of a girl. Readers who like “A place farther from the universe” may also be interested in it. .
Jisong doesn’t want to be said by others to be “learning your voice” and wants to find another way. In general, the highlights will only be on one side; he wants to be on both sides and draw twice. If there are highlights on both sides, the outline of the character will be thin, so generally it will not be done. .
As the master of painting, Jisong carefully listened to what Shi Yan supervision said and concentrated on what she wanted to do. In addition, he did not try to read the mirror – because he was afraid of being spoiled. .
.
The picture is Jisong who was spoiled by the speculation. From the Web Anime Style. 专栏. .
Of course, as a job, he will confirm the subtle line communication, the emotional flow of the scene, the positional relationship of the characters, etc.; but because the desire to enjoy the finished picture as a viewer is too strong, he strives I want to “catch out” the plot from the mirror. .
In addition, not only this work, if you know that a character will die in the work, the pen will be affected when the painting is made. The character itself is impossible to know that he is going to die. Ji Song believes that since the character does not know that death is coming, he should draw a picture that he does not know and live normally, so that the picture will be established. .
In the view of Gisson, who has participated in many excellent animations, the charm of Shijie’s supervised works lies in its “exquisiteness”. She knows how to subtly display beautiful pictures, is good at controlling character feelings, acting naturally, and the image is persuasive. In particular, she often describes the actions of the character’s unconsciousness, which greatly increases the charm and realism of the characters. Even if you know that it is an animation, you still can’t help but swaying for the presence of the characters as “people.” When the emotional lines of the characters on the screen are intertwined with each other, Shiji supervision can sort out the mixed feelings of the characters and present them to the audience. This is also a rare talent.
Looking back at “A place farther than the universe”, Ji Song said that although he has been working in the animation industry for many years, he feels that he has reached this age and can make a new masterpiece. This is a rare experience. In particular, the audience also loved this work, and he was very grateful. Although his friends around him are already uncles, they are crying all over, and they can be said to be “uncle killers.” This work can make people cry in places where there is no intention of tears. It is a miraculous animation. Being able to participate in this miracle also made Ji Song deep and sensible. Although he always said this sentence, he still had to repeat it at the end of the interview:
Thanks to Shiji supervision, took me to the South Pole. .
