The first chapter of the “Fate/stay night [Heaven’s Feel]” series “presage flower” is officially released in China from January 11th. In the meantime, I will review the thoughts and creations of the sudo by the interview of Sudo Takumi, published in Newtype Special

2017, it has been three years since the production was published. The first chapter of “Fate/stay night[Heaven’s Feel]” (hereinafter referred to as “HF”) “presage flower” was released in Japan on October 14th of that year. A few days before the official opening, the ufotable CINEMA venue in the event “town ★ play” held a preview

At this point, the film production has just ended, and for the supervision of Sudo Youde, I have not yet realized the completion of the work. Before the start of the preview, there is still the idea of “can it really be released?” After the end of the screening, the subsequent release in Japan nationwide, this allows Sudo to feel the real feeling of the first chapter of “HF”

With his own thoughts, he made some tentative challenges at the beginning of the film, which made Sudo very excited before the film was released, and also worried about how the audience would understand the work..

After the screening, Sudo was not only in Tokushima, but also in Shinjuku, Toyosu, Kyoto, Nagoya, Niigata, Saitama, Yokohama, and even South Korea, and participated in the stage in Japan and abroad. Meeting. After watching “HF”, different audiences will have different feelings. In the event, Sudo found that in addition to fans who have been paying attention since the initial release of “Fate/stay night”, they have been constantly Newcomers join

The influx of fresh blood into the fan family of “Fate/stay night” makes it possible for Sudo to feel that if there is not much face-to-face communication with the current fans, it is difficult to understand the audience of “Fate/stay night” fans. How wide, after all, among the young fans, there are many people who know the Fate/stay night series very much, which makes him sigh that there are so many age groups and fans with different ideas

Because I participated in many meetings, I also let Sato feel that the production of animation is inseparable from each other. He said that when he was making his own thoughts, he would think about the topic of “Where is it to be very bloody” and “Where can you make people laugh”? From the perspective of the audience, discovering these attractive places can be a creative time. The reference. When designing a performance, try to understand their reaction. If you don’t understand it, it will have a great impact on the actual performance of the work

Sudo believes that no matter what kind of work, the audience’s feelings should be considered and reflected in the works. This is the production guidelines of Sudo, which has not changed since he entered the animation industry. At the same time, because of the implementation of such ideas, compared with the box office income, he is more concerned about everyone’s feelings and evaluation

Speaking of the ninth week of the “HF”, which was well received by the audience, the attendee special code color paper, Sudo said that this was a new job received after the release. In the ninth week, the characters who appeared on the color paper were counted more than in the past, and the first was also included in the plan. Sudo felt that the theatrical version was also released for some time. The violation of Shen Er as the main debut character also disappeared. His story is inseparable from “HF”, and now is the right time

Sudo Tak is a fan of TYPE MOON before being supervised by HF. As a fan, it is natural to play the original game. To adapt the Fate/stay night published in 2004 to animation, first consider the three routes in the game: Saber Line / Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, Sakura Line / Heaven’s Feel, and this time The production of “HF” is the content of the cherry line. If the game route is not opened, the two routes cannot be opened

This animation project is divided into three chapters, and the first chapter of it is difficult for the first-time reader audience to understand what is being said. However, if you are playing the mobile game “Fate/Grand Order” and knowing the audience of the “Spiritual Calling System”, then you must be surprised by the original question about “The real name of this servant?” It is also difficult to see

Previously, Sudo also participated in the animation of “Fate/Zero” “Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]” (hereinafter referred to as “UBW”), and already know how to adapt and make “Fate/stay night”. Series animation. Therefore, in the process of discussing with the production staff, they will take into account the readers and audiences who know the series. Based on the style of Fate/stay night, they will explore how to express the characteristics and differences of HF..

However, it is not easy to express all the content in the animation. There are about 2 hours of movie time limit, and some places can only be reached. Therefore, Sudo and the rest of the production staff thought about it, and wanted to make a pre-draft version of the “School and Sakura, the story of these two people” at the beginning. In this section, although there is also a part about the Grail war, it is more about depicting a two-centered picture

The original “Fate/stay night” tells the story that happened within 16 days, and the content that I intend to paint this time is to show more and more parts outside the “16 days”, such as in the game. There are few stories of the past mentioned. How to move forward in the storm, how to escape this whirlpool – of course, it is not this storm (the Holy Grail War), but the two people involved (Shi Lang and Sakura)

Speaking of this, Sudo opened the voice, revealing that in the audio compilation, it was the first time to see the cute and beautiful Sakura on the big screen, which made him happy, bluntly Sakura is a bit Cute girl. In particular, the story of the past and the Shi Lang talked about the past. “Yes, he is the senior who is sitting next to me. I have known the seniors since then.” This is the heart of the stalk

Of course, it’s not just this cute that makes you feel awkward. In this episode, interspersed with a memory of the past, and then thoughtfully, want to confirm the person’s Shi Lang, follow the turn to look at the cherry blossoms and switch the lens, presented in front of the Shi Lang and the audience Looking at my own cherry. The gentle eyes and gentle words are like a warm stream flowing in my heart. This part is responsible for the supervision of the painting and the original painting of the painting (the supervised version of the fourth chapter of the Realm of the Empty”, “Gala Blue Cave” supervision), and the effect of Sudo on the film is full of praise

About the adjustment of the painting, and the sudo of the master painting supervisor, it is not only Sakura, but all the characters have been revised one by one. “HF” is the content of the original game “Sakura Line”, and the part of Sakura is not to be taken seriously. For the role of shaping cherry, consider the difference between Sakura in the middle school and Sakura in the future

Sudo believes that this contrast should be intentionally expressed in the animation, especially in the rain, without umbrellas, and wet to the Sakura of the Weigong family. Let the audience feel that Sakura is the one who wants to go to the Weigong family, and such other others are ignorant. After coming to the house of the Weigong to enter the house, Sudo hopes to depict the feeling of the nestlings that are still lost. Perhaps because of this, when the growing cherry blossomed to Shi Lang, he also got a response

Sakura in the middle school period, after waiting for the doorbell of the Guardian Palace, wait a little. This part shows her restrained but stubborn and strong character

Let the audience watch the growth trajectory of Sakura, and let everyone understand the idea of Sakura. Sudo wants to create a cherry tree with a “stubborn” side. It makes people feel that she is not mechanically acting because of obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is because of a kind of persistence. For example, if she is refused many times by Shi Lang, she will come to his home to do it. Housework is such a thing. Sakura is not the kind of genius that suddenly has nothing to do, so I want to portray the type that will not give up no matter how many times (failed)

Recalling the scene in the PV where two people went to school together, Sakura said, “If you don’t eat at the school’s home, I will feel that the food has become unpalatable,” full of happiness. Sudo said that this paragraph is responsible for the half-zei Cai, a young animator who he has taught for a while. After being corrected by Sudo’s instructions, this scene became part of the original painting

This is about the story of the Sakura Line, so consider the relationship between Sakura and the Holy Grail. As the story progressed to Shi Lang, he noticed that Lancer and Archer were fighting, and that the part of Sakura who met Gilgamesh was intentionally switched back and forth between two different scenes in order to show that both of them were involved in the Holy Grail.At the moment when Shi Lang encountered an accident, Sakura turned to look at the city at night, and the hair fluttered in the wind, indicating that the wind was coming and the storm was coming. At this time, the music created by Mr. Ji Pu’s teacher sounded and the theme song was inserted. This series of scenes is to make a deep impression

The scene where Gilgamesh and Sakura meet. Through the different positions of the two people, you can see the relationship between them

As a 3D supervised, Nishiwaki, a tree, once said that Sudo emphasized the use of jellyfish in the work. Sudo recalled that he had long thought of designing Sakura and the aquarium in the same scene, because he felt that the image of the jellyfish floating in the water is overlapping with Sakura. This is a scene that will leave people impressed, so he wants to use the image of jellyfish as much as possible

Sudo believes that Shiro can be said to be the most important person for Sakura. Therefore, in addition to focusing on the image of Sakura, the description of Shi Lang and the encounter between Shi Lang and Sakura should also be seriously considered. Sudo has to realize that Shiro has to look at Sakura as a love object, such a thing with a subtle sense of distance, as the focus of the relationship between them. However, in “HF”, more often it is treated as “friend’s sister”, so I hope that it will be better to reflect the sense of the young man in this subtle sense

Although it seems that Shi Lang does not have a deep sense of gender, but after all, to this inciting youth age, more or less can still notice the existence of “heterosexual”. Moreover, the previous feeling of confrontation shows that he is not the kind of “wood man”, but in an animated film, there is no way to describe such content in various scenes. So the final decision, around Sakura, by describing the conflict between Shinji and Shiro, and Shi Lang’s dream world, makes people feel that Shi Lang also has such a side

NaiきのこOnce said, Shi Lang is the kind of “robot” that is desperately pretending to be “human”, but if it is to be bound by such a setting, it is difficult To shape this role. It is Shi Lang who sees others dying in front of themselves. The person who is fascinated by Yan and Sakura is Shi Lang. In his daily life, he can also be a Shi Lang as a funny character. Therefore, Sudo believes that it is the character of this character that can show different self in different situations

Even so, Shi Lang is not always able to find a suitable “one side” to face, in some respects is still very limited, for the “this aspect” Shi Lang, Shen Er is very concerned about. As far as Sato, he is not irritated by Shen Er. It is better to say that he likes Shen Er, but people like Shen Er seems to have some headaches. Although Shen Er is not a good person in the normal sense, the audience can create the same feeling and understand him in the drama. Therefore, Sudo thinks that the reason why Shen Er (for Shi Lang) is angry and the feeling of hostility can be understood and accepted by everyone

In the scene of the conflict between the Weigong family and Shi Lang and Shen Er, Sudo wants to show the relationship between the three people by composing the picture and using the positional relationship of the three people. In “HF”, there are not many scenes like this. At this time, through the description of light and shadow, with the afterglow of the sunset, the two people who are in confrontation and the cherry who wants to stop the two further add the language of the picture. At this time, Shen Er stood in the place facing the afterglow. This was done in order to let everyone notice the situation and deliberately did it

慎 慎 和 and Shi Lang also have a cherry blossom that looks at all of this, the triangle composition expresses the relationship between the three

When talking about the most impactful scenes in the first chapter, the fighting scenes in the middle of the game have to be mentioned. From the beginning of the highway to the city streets, and the battle at the Liudong Temple, it can be said that it is very extensive. Sudo mentioned that the idea of fighting on the move and switching the battlefield is the idea of Miura Takashi (“UBW Supervisor”), who is responsible for the action scene. Miura wants to make Lancer chase the scene of true Assassin, so this battle begins in the port

Sudo admire Miura’s consideration, saying that he did not think so complicated at first, and the finished product achieved unexpected results. Speaking of this, Sudo can’t help but smiling. He said that in this last part, it is actually more than the standard in terms of scale, so he has to cut it down. In general, in terms of movements, whether they are involved in the original painting or as an animator who is supervised by the paintings, they are excellent, which allows the sudo to give them free play

On the other hand, the battle between Saber and Rider, Sudo said that because Rider underestimated Saber, the battle did not last long, and the original was also using the surprise of Shi Lang to express the battle. How to express this kind of conciseness is also a subject that needs to be discussed

On this subject, Sudo thinks that because of the battlefield, Rider, which can show high-power in three-dimensional space, should be more advantageous, so it is necessary to limit the area to the narrowness of the building and the obstacles. Lanes. Contrary to the battle between the last Rider and the real Assassin, the battle limited to a small area is not what Rider is good at. This is why Rider seems to have changed someone in the battle. In the production, this change is given to Show it out

In the original work, there is no scene in which Caster uses the symbol of breaking the commandments of all things and pierces the chest. This scene was made because Sudo believes that if it does not work and demonstrates the ability to break the symbol of the commandments of the universe, in the following content, it will have to mention this again, and then describe the treasure

After using the symbol of breaking the commandments of all things, the contract between the lord and the spirit will be eliminated, which is to be shown anyway. Therefore, if you create a dramatic point of view, it is more important than the role to let the audience notice the symbol of breaking the commandments of the universe and leave an impression on the minds of the audience. True Assassin was born from Assassin and is an existing part of the original. (Assassin who guards the Liudong Temple as a singer to summon the true Assassin) Because the control of the curse remains, the story needs to develop

The scene of breaking the ability of the command of all things is to make the first time the person is easy to understand, but also to become the foreshadowing after the second chapter

The point to note about the removal of the laws of all things is that the original game is like the Caster standing in front of the body of the lord. From the perspective of Shi Lang, and based on the content of “UBW”, why is such an incredible love between Gemu and Caster annihilated in this situation? Sudo wants to let the audience experience the feeling of tragedy and legend through this scene

If you just look at “HF” as a movie, there will be a lot of doubts and problems in the follow-up. Sudo wants the audience to fully digest the cause and effect of the matter, and then go to watch the next content. “HF” is not the whole three chapters of continuous disclosure. This is the case. If you don’t do this, there will be any foreshadowing in this scene, and there will be any development after that, you can not shock the hearts of the audience

This time, Sudo is not only supervised, but also supervised as the master of painting, and is responsible for related work. When it comes to making yourself feel miserable and interesting at work, it is a slogan. When depicting the sacred rituals, if the lower eyelids are slightly higher, the state of the whole character becomes different. This will make a big difference in the image. This also makes it difficult for Sudo to deal with subtle expression changes. In the first chapter of “HF”, I want to make a good impression of the image of Feng Qili, and I also think about whether it is properly matched

There is also an important role in “HF”, that is, the ivory. Regarding his image design, Sudo said that when he first appeared, he wanted to shape him as an ordinary grandfather. At the same time, Sudo also asked the teacher of Jin Jiashan, who is the seiyuu of the role, to express the appearance of the grandfather who sent his grandchildren to school and spoke to the children. The voice of Teacher Jin Jiashan made Sudo praise, and he thought that he showed this well in the title song, and this contrast is extremely important. Viscera is a relatively small character in the work, so it is difficult to let the audience feel his sense of gas and pressure in the design of painting image. After all, it is just an old man with a cane

Sudo thinks that the charm of a character like a dirty one is due to the charm of being a counselor, and the second is the charm of this two-sidedness. To make the audience feel that this character is not a good guy, it seems to be secretly calculating what. For example, the scene that first appeared on the scene, after talking with Shi Lang, the back to the dark is accompanied by the sound of closing the door, and the sound of a worm blowing, and then the insects are silent, so designed to let the audience I found this

Looking back to the first chapter, Sudo believes that the stage of the story has been set up. In the upcoming chapter 2, I want to portray the relationship between the characters and the entanglements. Because there will be a fierce collision in the emotional situation, we should discuss with the Hengsonggui who is acting as a performance

Hengsong once mentioned that no matter what kind of movie, he will think about the meaning behind some scenes after reading. Such thinking will also become a kind of food for his performance. Sudo said that in the first chapter, Hengsong served as the performance of “Sakura and Shi Lang from the beginning of the Holy Grail War” and “Two people in the warehouse”. These two paragraphs also contain quiet feelings. In the second chapter, he also has to discuss with Hengsong a lot. After all, there are several scenes that can bring people a strong impact, and also hope to be able to show through the picture
