Hayao Miyazaki's new film is finally coming out!
Hayao Miyazaki has met you with his latest short film "Caterpillar Pineapple"!
Unfortunately, the new film is only there
Screening at the Ghibli Museum of Mitaka No Mori, Tokyo
This is after the feature-length animation "The Wind Rises" released in 2013
The first video work handled by director Miyazaki
The protagonist is a caterpillar pineapple work hatched from an egg
This is the caterpillar --- pineapple
The story is told
A caterpillar that has just hatched from the inside of the egg – pineapple
Seen for the first time in the world
Moved by all kinds of things
The story of moving toward a world where partners and enemies come and go
Miyazaki with pineapple eyes
Depicts the beauty and fear of the natural world
Why is there such a story
In fact, it is also a question that Miyazaki has not solved since he was a child:
"Newborn little bean-like caterpillar."
How do you see the world?
When I was a primary school student, my teacher taught me the photosynthesis of plants
So, I've always been interested in photosynthesis
What the hell is going on to die for
"Caterpillar can it see particles in the air?"
Is it jellyy when chewing leaves?
Horse bee images not like drones on the battlefield today?
...... Wait, wait, wait,
Hayao Miyazaki, 77 years old
It is with such a lovely question
Only then did such an animation come out
A comic strip called "Flying Akuma" that I read as a teenager
It also had a great influence on Miyazaki
1948 (Showa 23) in "The Adventures of Cogomo"
A short story is recorded in a book
One day, the bug saw a green bug lying on the side of the road
The green worm was in a very bad state, after eating nectar
His abdomen ruptured
The bees that parasitized him flew out
This depiction of the real world of bugs
Symbolizes the terrifying side of nature
Until now, it is still hidden in Miyazaki's memory
In the new work "Caterpillar Pineapple"
The appearance of the wasp
Appears in the image of a ruthless "unmanned attack aircraft"
This side is also reflected
It is a microscopic world that belongs to animals and plants
We humans do not have the opportunity to understand in our daily lives
Miyazaki with a vibrant
Lush colors to express
And this anime will be Miyazaki's first challenge
Use CG technology to animate short stories
CG？？？
Gong Laozi actually wanted to use CG to complete all the animations?
The jaw of the Hinata Junjun is about to fall!
But anyone who knows anything about Miyazaki will know
He is a stubborn old man who is obsessed with traditional hand-drawn animation
"Animation needs to be drawn with human hands,
So, in my lifetime,
I always create with colored pencils. ”
...
Miyazaki's bold words of the year
Nichiren Jun still remembers it to this day
The old man would actually throw himself into the arms of CG
Is this the rhythm of punching the face to the end??
Hey hey hey, sorry
Is it really a punch in the face?
No, don't forget he's a 77-year-old grandfather
Miyazaki himself once said helplessly:
"Concentrate as much as before,
Halfway through the painting, the body begins to stiffen. ”
The operation is far less than it used to be
Painting also began to be inadequate
Because, he had a heart attack
So, although the heart of ten thousand unwilling
But Miyazaki also had to accept it
Suggestion by producer Toshio Suzuki
The first attempt was to use a computer to assist in authoring
Even if you compromise with CG
Miyazaki didn't miss any details either
As pineapple walks, each hair rises and falls gently
The movement of the foot is real
Even if it is CG, you can feel the feeling of handwriting
This is the first shot of the film
However, Miyazaki was not satisfied
He felt the feeling of the protagonist Pineapple first seeing the world
It's not reflected at all in the animation
To give animators a better understanding of their own ideas
Miyazaki personally learned computer drawing
The stubborn old man who pursues perfection and strives for excellence
After months of repeated revisions
Finally there is a perfect modification scheme
"I finally figured it out.
It's the lack of anger around! ”
Before modification
After modification
Except for CG
It's worth mentioning
The entire anime is dubbed by Japanese star artist Tamori
Whether it's plants or animals
Tamori Capital Effort: The True Voice of Kashihara University
The sound of desperately growing plants
Polo ate the sound of well-watered leaves
The sound of insects flapping their wings
Even the sound of a human girl riding a bicycle...
Dr. Tamori
He is a Japanese entertainer who is particularly good at false and imitative sounds
Whether it's lizards, monkeys, flies
Or the sound of water pouring into the kettle
The roar of fighter jets and other special sound effects
He can do a great job
Wild animal harmonies
Interwoven with African Folk Music [SOBAYA]
It used to be very popular among fans
Tamori-sensei-like voice
It can already be called an "instrument"
Polo the Caterpillar
It can be said that the stunt of Mr. タモリ is perfectly presented
Miyazaki also said
"This anime would never have been possible without Mr. タモリ"
Tamori Yokizaki Kakuzaki, 仿仿艺动ga
- Two people are gifted
The perfect blend of two worlds
It is the essence of the animation "Caterpillar Polo"
Except for "Polo the Caterpillar"
The old man also has a long animated film
It is expected to be released in 2019
According to him, the title of the new film
"What kind of life do you want to live"
Genzaburo Yoshino, Japanese writer
The name of the novel of the same name published in 1937
In the dialogue, Miyazaki said
This book is for the protagonist in the new movie
It makes a lot of sense
He also revealed that the film is expected to be completed in three or four years
He was such an old man
Just have him gasping for breath one day
It is not easy to hand over a flawed work
We still hope that this one will continue to regret and write a pen
The old man who "itched" his hands out of the mountain again
Can always, always accompany us to go on
