Best wishes for animation production

This so-called 'Animation Future Project's Best Work of the Year' is actually just a title. It does not bring any benefit to YUKI Studio. Even if there are rewards and support fund quotas, they belong to the old club.

But it’s really nice to be able to force the association to add an award.

Um.

There is a feeling of letting a tsundere give in.

"Let me tell you, no matter how popular your work is with the audience, no matter how popular it is overseas, I will not let you get the gold reward! If I say it out, it will be like water thrown out!"

"Crowdfund more than one million? So what? How could I care."

"What! I added an award... I added the award because of technical adjustments, definitely not because of you. Your work sold well and happened to meet the conditions so I let you win the award. You see, I put it at the top of the page. Bottom line, I don’t like your work at all. Although it is the best of the year and the name seems to be able to lift the gold, silver and bronze awards above, I can’t read it at all. .Your work.”

perhaps……

That's how it feels.

Sexy association, online tsundere.

Gu Xue found that her imagination was quite rich...

After Misawa learned the news, he stood there with a red face, waved his arms and shouted YES several times, then ran out to announce the good news to other people in the studio.

His actions were very eye-catching, but Gu Xue didn't say anything about him.

No matter what the actual situation is, it is his name that is attached to the future version of the animation director of "Little Witch Academia". Now the association is clearly pinching its nose and punishing itself. While finding a way to get off, it has approved "Little Witch Academia" in disguise. " was the best work of the animation future project last year. It is not surprising that he is excited about it.

After all, it is really exciting for him to receive the award and pretend to be sexy with his peers...

Watched Misawa Guang leave.

Gu Xue looked at Miss Mihara.

Chisa Mihara was holding a mobile phone and seemed to be equally happy.

"I'm not lying, am I?" Gu Xue said coldly, straightening her back slightly and looking a little proud.

"Um."

Chisa Mihara put away her phone, nodded slightly, and looked at Gu Xue with a slight change of eyes.

"But... this is not a gold reward, so you don't have to pay it back."

As if she had thought of something, Gu Xue raised her head slightly, lifted up her air bangs, covered her forehead with the palm of her right hand, and smiled sheepishly.

Kinda cute.

Chisa Mihara: "..."

"cough……"

Seeing that Miss Mihara was staring at him, Gu Xue thought she thought she was stupid, so she quickly put down her right hand covering her forehead, sat up straight, picked up a pencil, leaned over the workbench, and pretended to draw the original painting.

It's really stupid.

Gu Xue slowly twisted the wrist holding the pencil to outline the original drawing of the card she wanted to draw. At the same time, she was multitasking and reflected on her actions just now.

Since watching the fireworks display, she has tried to accept everything.

But it seems like it’s been taken a little too far.

Gu Xue felt that it was necessary for her to make a heart-warming and passionate animation to remind herself what femininity is!

etc……

Not... a man...

Gu Xue shrugged her shoulders, feeling a little desperate for herself who subconsciously shouted "femininity" in her heart. She gave up reflection and focused all her attention on the original painting.

Although Gu Xue currently serves as the supervisor and painting supervisor of "Little Witch Academia", she actually prefers to draw original paintings, so she still took over the original painting work of more than ten cards. Occasionally, when she is not going out, she will draw original paintings after checking what the original painters have handed in.

Although it is indeed quite tiring.

But compared to going out and going to voice actor recording sessions, Gu Xue still prefers to stay in the office and draw original paintings.

Comparing the two, the latter is almost like relaxing.

Of course...the idea of ​​relaxing is something only she would think of.

The cards she was responsible for were quite difficult in the eyes of others in the studio.

Just like this card now.

Yaco sat on the other end of the catapult, and Yasminka, a foodie girl from Russia, fell from the sky and sat on the other end of the human-powered catapult (seesaw).

Then, the physical witch Akko transformed into a flesh bomb and headed straight for the giant's arm.

It only takes two sentences.

But it’s really not easy to draw.

The first is the problem of the lens.

If it were an ordinary TV animation, it would actually be much easier to draw if it were divided into two shots. For example, the moment the foodie girl falls, the camera immediately switches to Akko's side, and then it would be much easier to draw her flying up.

It's a pity that this is not the TV version of the animation, and. Even in the TV version of "Little Witch Academia", there are very few such performances.

This is one card of footage.

The foodie girl fell from the sky, held her breath in mid-air to expand her body, and finally sat on one end of the catapult. The camera quickly pulled to the left, passing over the tight long arm of the catapult, and the main body of the catapult as the fulcrum of the lever. Finally, she sat on the end of the catapult. At the other end of the spectrum is Yaco.

The transition from the long arm that is pressed down to the long arm that is tilted up must be very good, otherwise it will look very strange, and the scene when Akko ascends to the sky will become soft.

Very troublesome.

At first, Gu Xue felt something was wrong no matter how she painted, and she always felt like she couldn't sense the energy accumulated.

After all, she has never painted this kind of lens. Although she knows the principle of the lens, she knows that it is really different from what she can draw, and some memories have been blurred.

I crumpled the original painting that I just finished but still didn't feel very good into into a ball and threw it aside.

Gu Xue crossed her arms in front of her chest and thought hard for a while.

Finally caught some inspiration.

She immediately picked up the pencil, lowered her head and started drawing.

Chisa Mihara came behind her at some point, and without saying a word, she quietly looked at Gu Xue's serious profile.

Gu Xue couldn't care about Miss Mihara for the time being.

She finally knew how to draw.

When drawing the foodie girl falling from the air, the character should be on the right side. In this way, when the camera moves to the left, the transition will be smoother. When the camera stops, it will be logical for Yakko to become the main subject of the picture, and then Draw her tense body falling backwards, her long arms thrown upward, flying into the sky.

That's it.

The more Gu Xue painted, the smoother her ideas became.

The drawing speed is also getting faster and faster.

However, because it was just Yi Yuan, Gu Xue's drawing was quite rough.

Half an hour later, Gu Xue drew the last key frame, put down the pencil, grabbed a stack of original paintings, and started flipping through it.

Brush brush brush.

The paper was flipped, and the static painting suddenly started to 'move'.

Although there is no mid-cut and it is a bit grassy, ​​there is nothing wrong with the design of the lens.

Gu Xue smiled with satisfaction.

"sharp."

"Eh..." Gu Xue, who had always known that Chisa Mihara was standing behind him, turned his head, "Really?"

Chisa Mihara turned her back to the floor-to-ceiling window, with two shallow pear dimples exposed, "Well, when you painted the original painting, you were really..."

"Handsome? Is he handsome?"

Gu Xue's eyes lit up and she raised her head with anticipation on her face.

"It's really...beautiful."

Gu Xue: "..."
