Best wishes for animation production

Half past eight in the morning.

In the Gu family, two sisters sit opposite each other at the dining table.

Gu Xue lowered her head to eat, refusing to raise her head no matter what.

"Xiaoxue..."

"You don't need to say anything."

Gu Rou just called Gu Xue.

Gu Xue put down her chopsticks with a snap, stood up, turned around and ran away, "I'm full, let's go take a shower..."

"Hey...wait a minute." Gu Rou called her.

But Gu Xue did not stop, and did not dare to look at Gu Rou. She quickly ran to the bathroom in her slippers, and then closed the bathroom door forcefully.

boom.

Gu Rou: "..."

She put down her chopsticks, dragged her cheek with one hand, and looked in the direction of the bathroom, unable to help but laugh.

Nearly an hour later, when Gu Xue wiped her wet long hair and sneaked out of the bathroom, Gu Rou had already gone out.

The dining table has also been cleared.

Now there is a note on it, which is very conspicuous.

Gu Xue came closer and took a look at the note.

"Xiaoxue, I don't object to you doing flexibility training, and you don't have to be embarrassed. After all, you sit for a long time every day. In fact, it's good to do these exercises occasionally. Just be careful not to strain. Besides... you don't want to Wear hot pants to do these actions, otherwise what will you do if your pants get torn (′▽`〃)”

The last kaomoji that Gu Rou drew was lifelike, and she seemed to have quite a talent for painting...

"Well……"

Gu Xue crumpled the note on the table into a ball, threw it into the trash can, and then covered her face.

wanna die.

She already had a premonition that she would definitely regret it in the future, regretting the stupid move she made that morning...

You said you were so good at testing the softness...

Although it succeeded in the end...

…

Gu Xue took a shower, rested for a while, and then went out.

Although it was quite embarrassing this morning because Gu Rou saw her doing the splits out of curiosity...but she still had to do the work that needed to be done.

Take the tram to CDD Animation Workshop.

Because it is still morning, there are not many people in the CDD Animation Workshop, and the original painting department is not at work yet.

However, Sengoku, who storyboarded and acted in the second episode, was in charge of the production of the second episode of the anime, and Kigami, the animation production director, are all in the company.

Now the first episode of "Embracing a Better Tomorrow" has been aired, and the second episode will be aired next week. There are only a few days left before the airing date. It's quite a rush. They came so early today, they should be going there. The recording studio completes the last step before V editing, which is the synthesis of audio and video.

In this regard, Gu Xue has already conveyed the desired effect to them, but she doesn't have to do it herself. She can't do it herself, because as the second episode of the animation plays, the OP and ED of the animation will also be added. This part is Gu Xue's responsibility. Responsible for storyboarding and performance, she came to the company this time to focus on the OP/ED post-production photography.

Gu Xue said hello to Qianshi and others who were discussing something in a low voice.

When several people heard the sound, they raised their heads and discovered Gu Xue.

The looks are different.

The production of the second episode was probably due to the popularity of the first episode. Gu Xue looked at her with admiration, while the production directors Kigami and Qianshi looked at Gu Xue and seemed a little worried.

Especially Senshi.

He ate the durian candy and looked very stressed.

Gu Xue could understand their mood.

Because the first episode of an animation is broadcast, the better the feedback it gets, which means the greater the pressure on the staff of subsequent episodes. Especially the plot of this animation will usher in a turning point in the second episode. This turning point is now watching The audience may not necessarily buy it...

It's normal to be stressed.

Gu Xue couldn't help them either.

Because... Gu Xue is also under a lot of pressure.

She is the supervisor of this production.

Without leaning over to ask anything, Gu Xue nodded to them again and went to the photography department.

Mu Shang and Qian Shi, who stayed in place, glanced at Gu Xue's back, then looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

After a moment of silence, Qianshi suddenly said: "Now I really hope that the heroine's withdrawal will cause a big deal, so that the audience can be mentally prepared..."

"Then let's make a secret post?"

Production director Kigami seemed to agree with Sengoku and made a sneaky suggestion.

"But I really tried my best when doing this episode. I want to see the audience's reaction..."

"Damn it." Mu Shang cursed, "You producers are so troublesome, what do you want?"

Qianshi: "Is there any discussion about the plot of the manga on the Internet now?"

"Not yet. Those who have read the comic feel it is quite bad. They don't seem to want to say it out loud. They just occasionally say that it is a black animation..."

"Then we'll just leave it to fate."

Qianshi gritted his teeth, "If most viewers learn the news, it will be equivalent to giving them a vaccination. This is a good thing, but if most viewers are still in the dark when the animation is broadcast, in fact, It’s not necessarily a bad thing, right? Maybe it can increase the popularity of animation to another level.”

"……you sure?"

Hearing Qianshi's determined tone, Mu Shang asked cautiously.

"I don't know."

Qianshi, who had been extremely confident just now, looked at Gu Xue's back and sighed.

Mu Shang: "..."

The production was going on next to me, and I felt a little headache listening to the two bosses talking like they were having sex.

He proceeds as a production.

Of course he knows the plot of the second episode, but he won't worry about gains and losses like the two bosses. He thinks the plot unfolds quite normally...

Because he is exposed to original paintings every day, his focus has long since shifted from the plot of the animation itself.

It can only be said that he is still too young.

He didn't consider that the audience was different from him. They... could empathize with animation.

This may be a good thing for the animation production team, or it may be a huge disaster.

…

Just when Mu Shang and Qian Shi were worrying about gains and losses.

the other side.

Gu Xue came to the photography department.

I found the guy who was responsible for the OP/ED post-production work.

Generally speaking, the OP of an animation is a very important part, while the ED is less important. The reason is not complicated. The picture to be presented to the audience at the beginning is ultimately more important than the picture presented to the audience at the end.

This time Gu Xue came here to mainly check the OP.

Although whether the OP is good or not does not affect the animation itself at all.

But now people in the industry and ordinary viewers believe that the OP of an animation can very well illustrate the quality of the animation itself.

Like the kind of animation that randomly cuts some clips from the first and second episodes to make the OP, the audience will think that the animation is a bad film, or the kind of animation that has an extremely tight deadline... Therefore, generally a production team with strength will not To fool the OP.

As a traditional person, Gu Xue has no intention of cutting corners. She designed the storyboards for both the OP and ED this time, and she also completed the original painting by herself. The process was very laborious.

Of course, it’s hard work for one person to be responsible for the original painting, but it’s not as hard as having the supervisor personally dance and be the OP...
