OVA Theater “Morning Glory and Coronation Classmates. “At present, it is still in the Japanese cinema online. In the field of the cinema dealers, the film supervisor Sato Tatsuya and the producer Tsujita Yusuke interviewed the two. The two have animated planning, painting, performance and music. Detailed answers were made. .
The first place where Sato met the original comic book series was the bookstore, which was the first volume of the comic book, “Morning Glory and Coronation.” Sato, who was attracted by the cover, bought the first volume. After reading it, the contents of the comics did not disappoint Sato, especially the personality of both Yamada and Coronation made Sato particularly like. .
Although there are times when Shantian and Jiayu will be jealous of each other, there will be times when they are twitching. But because the troubles in the two people’s love are all sound, so Sato does not feel annoying. After each misunderstanding of the two people, they will breathe a sigh of relief and say “Great!”, and Sato also likes it very much. .
And the producer Shiji Yusuke is attracted by the human emotions and sorrows depicted in “Morning Glory”, and also attaches great importance to the relationship between Yamada and Coronation, just like Sato. What is revealed is “the beauty of only two people.” .
Sato was involved in the production of a lot of dark-skinned works, so when I saw the pure works of the Coronation series, I felt very fresh, I felt that I came to a new world, and I had animated the “Morning Glory”. Idea. After reading the second volume, Bento and Coronation. “,” the third volume “Strawberry Cake and Coronation Classmates. At the time, Sato’s idea of “must enlighten the series of coronation” is gradually strengthening. .
So Sato began to add to the other people’s Amway series of students, among which there are people who have this animation set up for a long time. After asking about Sakai, Sato learned that Sakai was an old fan of comics. After learning about the popularity of the work through Sakai, Sato saw the dawn of the animation of the work, and began to explore the parties. Just then, Sato came to Temple Field through PONY CANYON. .
Although there is a producer familiar with Sato in PONY CANYON, the person is now far away from the production site, so this introduces Sato to the temple. After seeing the temple, Sato handed the original to the temple directly, but it was unexpected that Sato and Sakai had already seen the original. Seeing that there are so many people who like to join the series of students, Sato is more determined to be absolutely animated. .
Animation is not determined by Sato’s head. After the discussion between Sakata and Sato, everyone decided to make an Animation Clip “Your Light”, but it took four months for the short film to pass. Time. Terada Ziqian believes that the animation of the work is not smooth. It is caused by insufficient ability. When promoting the project, Terada needs to meet and send and receive mail frequently with Sato. Every day, he has to update the information repeatedly, and he has to go to Sakai to draw an impression for the project. It is said that every day is very tight, so Sitian feels that the four months have passed quickly. .
After talking about the topic of planning and turning to the script, in the eyes of Sato, it is more interesting than the scene in which the story itself is interacting with Yamada and Coronation. From this point of view, Sato chose to skip the first volume of the introduction character, and select the plot from the second volume to make an animation. Although Sato himself wants to see the plot before Yamada and Kasumi’s love, but when considering the animation, Sato found that he really wanted to describe as much as possible the plot after the two. .
And Sato also added the funny plots that are not in “Your Light” in OVA. For example, the more funny plot that was added to Yamada’s home was put into OVA. Sato thinks that it is also a good choice to describe the stupid side of Camus and Yamada. OVA does not have to portray only the beautiful world of Yamada and Coronation. Moreover, the original author did not limit Sato, which allowed Sato to choose the plot according to his own ideas. .
Since Sakai is the dead loyalty of the Kagyu classmates, and I am very good at the simple, yet sleek, sleek paintings of Sato, Sato asks Sakai to try to design the characters as simple as possible. There are few other requirements for the coronation of the person to be more lovely. .
The first version of the coronation is too much like a male, although Sato often hears that others praise and coronation is very handsome, but he does not agree with this view. In the eyes of Sato, it should be a more girlish and cute character. Whether it is Yamada or coronation, it should be a purely cute character.
The seiyuu selection was initially auditioned by a tape. The most distressing thing in the selection of seiyuu was the seiyuu of Yamada, and everyone who was present in the seiyuu of the coronation thought that it was none other than Sakura. Sakura’s voice is handsome and feminine, and is the seiyuu closest to everyone’s impression of coronation. Yamada’s seiyuu was not decided during the recording selection, and finally 6 or 7 seiyuu were selected to the recording studio for the second round of selection. .
Before making the second round of selection, let Sakura come to the studio to record the sound of the sakura’s coronation, and then hand over the sound source to Yamada seiyuu’s alternates. Since Sakura’s acting skills are already in place, it is necessary to find a seiyuu with a sound line and Sakura acting. In the final audition of the studio, everyone found that Takahashi’s voice was the best with Sakura, so he chose Takahashi as the seiyuu of Yamada. In addition, when I decided to make Yamada seiyuu, I also let the Mudo clothes blow the test to the Three Rivers. As a result, the sound line of the Muto was also perfectly matched with the impression of Sanhe in Sato’s heart, so the wooden sei was the seiyuu of the Mihe. .
OVA’s theme song “Tomorrow への扉” is also sung by two protagonists. Sato et al. thought that the theater OVA was like a documentary about Yamada and Coronation, so he decided to let Yamada and Coronation cover a song as the theme song. Although I also thought about making an original song, it was contrary to the original cover. In the end, I chose the “Imperial への扉” of the cover I WiSH, based on the “female pop music that ordinary female high school students like Yamada and Kagawa will sing at the time of karaoke.” .
Since the Coronation series has many fans between the ages of 15 and 35, Si Tian considers a song they are familiar with from the perspective of the audience. This is another reason for finalizing “Tomorrow’s 扉の扉”. As a producer, Terada himself is 28 years old and is also in the age range of the original fans. He is very familiar with “Tomorrow への扉”. Sato added that “Tomorrow への扉” is a song that transcends the times and can bring resonance to anyone. This is also an important reason for the final selection of “Tomorrow への扉”. .
The OP and the third part of these OVA are all the sub-mirrors of Sato’s own painting. These OVA and ordinary TV animations have different composition and position of the lens with the role. Sato wants to create a way to shoot the actors in a place by imitating the real shot, to create a sense of presence that Yamada and Coronation are around us. .
So the size of the character in the picture and the angle of the shot are not the same as ordinary TV animation. The character will be much smaller than the whole picture. In contrast, art will become very important, and collaboration between photography and other departments will become necessary. Sato has always wanted to try such a complicated production method, but there is no chance. This time, the production was relatively free, and Sato was able to realize his ideas as much as possible in this film. .
寺田 I also like Sato’s practice very much. For example, when the picture is in the foreground, there will be many people at the animation production site saying: “The front and back of this lens should be added to the close-up of the character”, but Terada will say: “ Since it is a vision, let’s grow up.” Sitian always wanted to participate in the production of such a style image, and made a good opportunity for the coronation students to say that they were rare, so I made a lot of comments. .
Temple is very fond of the film director Sophia Coppola. Coppola as a female supervising screen guides the line of sight, the control of the rhythm, and the use of music all have a profound impact on the temple. Coppola will take away the photographic method of real feeling, and Terada also wants to feel this atmosphere in this film. Also, when the plan for “Your Light” was about to be made public, Terada also liked the movie “Carol” which was released in Japan at that time. “Carol” is the same as the coronation class, which is a love story between women. It is a very beautiful film, so Temple Tian mentioned “Carol” at the opening of the drama conference. Sato Supervisor also likes Carol very much. This part of OVA is also a reference to the picture of Carol. .
Sato thinks that the color of “Carol” is very similar to that of photographer Saul Leiter. When talking to the music of the film Rionso, Sato mentioned that he injected “Saul Leiter Soul” in “Morning Glory”. The interview also mentioned that the goal of this film is to take pictures of Yamada and Coronation by imitating the way the camera is fixed in one place, creating a natural and unintentional sense of record, and it is Saul who inspired Sato. Leiter.
Saul Leiter took a lot of shots of the subject being photographed in a natural state without realizing the presence of the camera. Moreover, his works are not well-focused and there are things in the foreground. It may be that for many people Saul Leiter’s work seems to be a failure, but Sato wants to move this style into the animation. .

Saul Leiter Photographs.
Of course, Sato also understands that it is too difficult to inject “Saul Leiter Soul” into all the shots. It is difficult to achieve this in TV animations even if it is just a few shots. This time, OVA is not able to get the chance to realize its own ideas, so Sato is very dedicated in order to create a natural sense of natural carving. .
Not only did the performance style get inspiration from other artists, but Sato also found references in the film when thinking about the style of the soundtrack. The third part deliberately added discordant sound effects in the soundtrack. This idea comes from the beginning of the film “Social Network” directed by David Finch. .
And the story of this film also makes Sato associates with the famous “Two Little No Guess” by Valis Hussein. In the “Two Little No Guess”, the hero and heroine who still read elementary school fell in love, but they were disturbed by the adults. In the end, they only ran away from the small town where they lived with the help of friends. The part of the animation that Yamada flies to the side of Coronation is very similar to the story of “Two Little No Guess”. Sato likes this powerful power called love. .
There is no plot in the original work of Yamada and Coronation on the way to the Shinkansen to Tokyo, but OVA added the scene of the two in the car after the ED. On this point, Terada summed up two reasons. First of all, although OVA is the plot from the first three volumes, the most representative name in the series, Terada, is not a “Morning Glory”, so I want to name the first volume in the animation. Secondly, the morning glory is also very well-coordinated with the work, so the combination of the two puts the flower of the morning glory into the story on the way to Tokyo. Although the addition of the game is not the idea of Sato, but the animation OP has the appearance of morning glory, this method of echoing back and forth Sato also likes it very much. .
The topic turned to the watercolor style art that OVA people care about. The background of these OVA is very white, and it also deliberately pursues the hand-painted texture. From the very early days, Sato wanted to try not to increase the amount of color on the pencil stroke texture, and to make an art background that is not like digital drawing. The main visual map and the original public special report image are experiments of this art style. In the end, everyone thinks that this style of art is very good. Sato also hopes that there will be more works with hand-painted texture background art in the future. .
In terms of photography, Sato and Sakai don’t want to do too complicated photographic effects on the characters. For example, many animations nowadays like to make the photographic effects such as subtle light in the eyes and the blurring effect of the hair as detailed as an illustration. This kind of photographic effect Sato is not very fond of it. In addition, in order to match the color change in the scene, Iwata has made a very detailed color design, which has a very beautiful picture. .
In addition to the watercolor version of the art, the effect of light in the animation is also very attractive. When Sato made “Your Light” and set the theme of “Drawing Light”, the incident light and transmitted light in the animation were not added by photography, but were drawn by the painter first. The theater OVA also used it. This practice. (. More OVA’s photographic content. ).
When asked about the most interesting place in OVA, Sato mentioned the beginning of OVA and the scene where there are no characters and only scenery. Because it is necessary to stuff female love stories and incomprehensible realist images into the film of Morning Glory, it is very interesting to think about how to rationalize the existence of these scenes. The use of the rhythm and vision of the work, as well as the production method of synchronizing the selection of the soundtrack according to the image of the image with Rionso, makes the temple more concerned. .
As a producer, Sato is hard to see the feedback from the audience, but after “Your Light” is public, Sato sees a lot of feedback on websites such as youtube and twitter, which can be made in everyone’s support. Animation, Sato thinks this is the most powerful place in the Coronation series. Terada called on fans to write their own feelings, and every evaluation of fans will be turned into a driving force for the planning of the Coronation series. .
