TRIGGER的创立人之一的“舛本和也”所举办的讲座
简易的翻译一下,推特连结那边也有一些讲座的影片片段
有兴趣的可以自己去听看看
讲座主题:日本动画是如何制作的

Trigger is currently comprised of a core 80 staff. The space of the studio is
about 8 times the lecture hall we were in, which was somewhat small. Most of
their animators still use paper/pencil.
Gradual shift to digital animation.
Fukuoka branch specializes in digital animation.
TRIGGER目前有80名核心成员,算是比较小间的动画制作公司
TRIGGER大部分的动画师还是使用纸笔作画
而在福冈的工作室,则是以数码作画为主
现代的动画制作公司

In the attached image are the main 7 points for the studio to survive going
forward. Goal is to get past the 2020 Olympics (not sure why the Tokyo
Olympics). The first point is about promoting the studio as a brand so they
insist on using the studio logo whenever possible.
这边列出了七个要点
1. 将工作室作为一个品牌来宣传(所以坚持不管怎样都要用TRIGGER的LOGO)
2. 高品质和低品质的制作
3. 理解观赏动画的人(目标客群)
4. 数码动画
5. 3D动画的项目
6. 全球化
7. shifting clients(应该有点像是拓展新客群的感觉?)
TRIGGER的目标是要生存到2020年奥运过后

Attached are images from Kill La Kill’s sales pitch to Aniplex.
There’s no template for a project pitch.
Mainly want to convey how the project will be profitable. Two main points for
KLK’s pitch was staff listings and the designs.
投影片上的内容是提交给Aniplex关于KLK的企划书
并没有固定的样本模板,主要就是传达这个企划是可以赚钱的

These are the ideal production standards but the reality is they’re
generally working with a budget of $150,000. They would like more to pay
animators more but isn’t happening. 2.5 months can fluctuate for pivotal
episodes or just running out of time (KLK finale 5 weeks).
理想的制作环境:
.每话的工期2.5个月
.每话的预算280,000到467,000美元
.除了制作的收入外,能够额外的创造收入
.员工培训
.数位化的管理
现实的制作环境:
现实的预算只有150,000美元
虽然希望能够给动画师们更多钱,但这是不会发生的(钱太少)
至于一话2.5个月,假如是关键集数还是有办法做到的
但也有那种赶的要命的
(美元X100大约就是多少日圆)

After project approval, they have to come up with a scenario/script. Rule of
thumb is there’s specific format of a script but no rule about the actual
content. After the script is finished, then storyboarding begins.
60-70% of how an episode turns depends on the storyboard.
在提交企划后,必须要撰写出剧本
剧本有既定的格式,但没有限制内容怎样
剧本完成后,开始制作分镜
一话的内容长什么样子,分镜就决定了6成到7成
Storyboarding takes 1-3 months(which is way longer than I thought).
Masumoto-san really emphasized how important storyboards are as they dictate
layouts, tone of the episode, how production intensive it’ll be, and just
overall quality. Then the layout process starts.
分镜一般要花个1到3个月,舛本表示分镜非常重要
因为会影响到之后的LO、剧情的调性、制作的密度如何,整体的品质等等
完成分镜后就是LO了
There’s character design work still happening at this time, so it matches
the story and not just what’s appealing.
There are also background reference sheets being made concurrently (art
setting?). If fantasy/anime original title, much harder to produce,
especially backgrounds.
人物设计在这时候依旧在制作当中(持续在修改)
这样才能让人设真正符合故事的内容,而非只是单纯好看而已
此外也会有背景、美术设计等等,假如是奇幻或原创的题材,那这部分就会更加重要

Animators will come up with layouts based off the storyboards, they are a
more refined version of the storyboards. Once the layout is approved then
keyframe animation begins.
之后根据分镜画出LO,LO是更加详细的分镜
当LO被认为没问题后,就可以开始进入原画的工作了
After keyframing, they start recording. Takes about four hours to record all
voices for a 20 minute episode. Depending on the scene, more time might be
allocated for important moments.
原画完成后,将开始进行配音,一话20分钟长度大约要花四小时完成配音的工作
根据场景的不同,也有可能花更多的时间(重要的场景)
For KLK due to the intensity of the show VAs had to match that intensity all
throughout so it was impressive they managed it all in four hours. After
sound effects are complete then work on BGM. BGM work starts after first
episode storyboards are done.
这边是以KLK为例子,因为剧情相对激烈,所以声优也必须要跟上这个节奏
所以相当让人印象深刻
在音效完成后,就开始BGM的工作
BGM通常是在第一话的分镜完成后开始制作
The episode director will be provided a set of songs from the composer and
apply the song that best fits scene.
A regular anime will have a set list of about 30 songs but a 2 cour might
have 40-50. Process will take about two to three months after storyboard is
provided.
负责每一话的演出会从作曲家提供的歌单中挑选最适合这个场景的歌曲
通常一部动画会有大约30首插曲,若是两季的话可能就会到40~50首
分镜完成后大约有2到3个月的时间可以完成这个流程

After that, they provide the work to the production committee.
This was Little Witch Academia’s preproduction broken into four areas. The
difficulty arises in balancing and interconnecting all four groups and why
show productions take so long.
之后,将作品递交给制作委员会
图中的内容是小魔女学园,将工作划分成四个区域
要如何平衡这四个部分是相当艰辛的,所以制作要花相当多的时间

At least for Trigger, the director is the ‘main tree’ from which everybody
branches off from. In the attached image are the four key ideas that drove
the production of the respective work.
至少就TRIGGER而言,监督是所有分支当中的主干
图中的内容是四个作品的关键理念
KILL LA KILL:不良少女(スケバン)和衣服
小魔女学园:魔法少女
宇宙巡警露露子:初恋
天元突破:钻头,成为一个男人
Trigger brainstorming sessions with main staff takes 6-8 hours. They say they
value it a bit more than other studios(might do it for a little over a year).
They feel staff can’t be only good at drawing but must have ideas as well.
TRIGGER的主要工作人员们之间在交流意见(脑力激荡)通常要花6到8小时
TRIGGER对于这个部分,比起其他制作公司还要重视
(常常一些访谈会听到一些人提到TRIGGER这独特的地方)
他们认为不能只会画画就好,也要有不错的想法
Masumoto strongly believes that those ideas are why people find their titles
interesting. He feels those meetings are the key to Trigger’s success.
舛本认为这就是为何大家会喜欢TRIGGER的作品,而这也是TRIGGER成功的关键
That was pretty much it for the main lecture. Q&A Part:
For storyboard, they would like multiple people working on storyboards but
due to budget, only have one person.
Hypothetically might interview an outside expert, probably case for multiple
series and studios.
就分镜来说,TRIGGER希望能够有多一点人来一同完成
但基于预算,只能一个人
Trigger has five lines of production. Might be able produce five episodes at
a time.
Takes about 3 months for them to deliver an episode (I guess after
storyboarding is finished).
TRIGGER总共有五个生产线,有办法同时制作五集
大约可以花3个月完成一话的制作(从分镜完成后开始算)
