[Image] As a visual animator of "The Orbital Children", "Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket", "Only Yesterday", "New Century Evangelion", "BLOOD THE LAST VAMPIRE", "Kill Bill", etc. In 2007, the participating director Iso announced "Denno Coil," which he wrote, wrote, and directed. Although he was the first director, he won many awards such as the Japan Media Arts Festival Animation Division Excellence Award and the Japan Science Fiction Award. The long-awaited new work "The Orbital Children" came from the earth with children living in a Japanese-made space station, set in 2045 when human beings' advance into space began in earnest due to the development of technology. Juvenile depicts encounters and adventures with children. It consists of 6 episodes, and the second part is currently open to the theater for 2 weeks from February 11th. Theatrical release limited edition Blu-ray and DVD are also on sale, and are also being distributed worldwide on Netflix. Following the first part of the interview, in the second part, we asked about his commitment to the video and the source of his ideas. ■ Merits and difficulties that the director also serves as "shooting" -Mr. Iso is the original, screenwriter, and director of this work, following "Denno Coil", and is also credited for "shooting" (*). increase. Actually, I've been worried about it for a long time, but I think it's rare that the director also works as a photographer. Iso Maybe so. I'm not just checking, but in my case I'm making the final screen in the "shooting" process. * Shooting is a part that combines the materials from each production department into one and finishes it into a work that is actually broadcast. Currently, I don't use a camera, but the mainstream is to import materials into a personal computer and work on them. This is the part where you can see the completed animation for the first time, and in addition to checking the contents, you may make minor corrections such as adding special effects. ――Is that inevitable? Iso I'm working on determining the degree of visual perfection, so it's an essential task for me. Shooting is usually the final process in animation production, and to be precise, it's a work called composite, but what I'm doing is not general shooting, but a staging decision such as adding effects and adjusting drawing. Most of the work includes including. ――But if the director is in charge of that, the amount of work will be enormous. The last part of the rocky shore production is about all night. I think it's hard to stay up all night at this age, but in the end, I stayed up all night many times. However, it is not a pain because I decide that it is necessary for the work and I should do it myself. ――When that happens, is the moment of completion when Mr. Iso is convinced? Iso I don't often go to the point where I'm convinced. It ends when time or physical strength is exhausted. When I didn't get a response, I said, "This is the end" (laughs).
