“the FIRST of Lubang III”, which will be released in Japan on December 6th next month, is the first series to appear on the big screen in the form of full 3DCG, which undoubtedly evokes the loyal fans of Lubang III, Fiat. The interest of the fans. Before the film was released, Yamazaki, who was the supervisor and scripter, accepted an interview with Fiat magazine CIAO!, an interview with Fiat magazine, and interviewed Nakayama Yuki to share his experience to “The FIRST of Lubang III” and the Fiat 500.

Since the supervision of the debut in 2000, Yamazaki has directed a number of hot works, from the “ALWAYS Three Ding Sunset” that won the 16 departments of the Oscars in Japan to “Doraemon with me”, from script to VFX (visual effect), Yamazaki has a multi-disciplinary position in each work, and controls each position

When Yamazaki was a child, he worshipped the people who made the monster movie. At that time, he wanted to work on image-related work. After moving from Nagano Prefecture to Tokyo, Yamazaki participated in image-related work through odd jobs, met some related parties on the set, and then officially began to work in this industry, fulfilling his childhood dreams

When I was young, Yamazaki liked monster movies and special photography. The Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster that I saw in middle school was even more shocking for him. The works of that time were not only praised at the time, but also now and in the future. What impressed him the most was the VFX technology used in these films. Yamazaki is determined to make such a work in the future, aiming at the world

Steven・Spielberg’s “Third Contact” made him feel a huge impact. When I heard that this was a movie of a spaceship, he did not particularly expect it. The thought was nothing more than the emergence of the Adams flying saucer in the movie. After the actual reading, he was shocked. The superb image made him dazzled. The mothership is really big, it’s all images that he has never seen before. Just like watching a special movie, for the first time, I feel “this is the real spaceship!”

Yamazaki said that in the past, when watching a movie, there was always a subjective opinion of his own. Before he saw it, he also had some psychological preparations. However, “The Third Type of Contact” completely broke his thoughts and even made him “ This is not a movie, this is the real illusion. After that, excellent movies emerged in an endless stream, and Yamazaki felt a big baptism from these movies

Yamazaki, who was fascinated by these thrilling works from the student days, brought these touches to his work. At that time, the impact of the continuous, “image is a surprise” has become his guide to action. In addition, Yamazaki’s first movie “Rocky” in the cinema was deeply attracted to Yamazaki at the beginning of the story, which also gave him the idea that “the story is equally important when making a work.” In the production of Archimedes, not only part of VFX, but also the plot part. Yamazaki believes that VFX can’t be used only to shock the audience, but to completely integrate it into the story. In the future, VFX will also be used to bring images and stories together to create a backbone work

In the production of the work, Yamazaki also always wanted to show the audience images that they had never seen before. Even with numerous themes that have been adapted, Yamazaki hopes to let the audience see new performances in terms of sight and feeling. For example, in the battle of Archimedes, the warships were sunk and sunk. This scene has appeared in different movies many times, but Yamazaki still has to show unprecedented images. While following the basics, it brings a newer and more thrilling side to the audience

Speaking of the relationship between Lubang III and Yamazaki, Yamazaki can’t help but talking about his car, that is, the Fiat 500, and it is still a yellow limited car. In the production of “The FIRST of Lubang III”, I watched the yellow 500 on the screen of the studio, and returned to the house with a yellow 500 waiting for him, which is such an incredible feeling

From Lubang III to the City of Cariostro, Yamazaki believes that Lubang III’s worldview and 500 are simply a combination of heaven and earth. Yamazaki himself is both Lubang III and a loyal fan of 500. Both Lubang III and Fiat are familiar names. Therefore, in this movie, their active scenes must be indispensable. In this movie, 500 will be very active. I believe that every viewer who has seen it will understand his love for 500 at a glance
