【YouTube viewers are familiar with short videos.】

【I think it is not appropriate to upload long-form animations from the beginning of the channel.】

Now that I hear it, it’s true.

I also don’t watch videos on YouTube that are longer than 10 minutes. I end up quitting in the middle.

Even sketch comedies tend to end within a few minutes.

‘But if you’re going to split a 130-minute animation into several parts, don’t you need to change the scenario a bit?’

I’m a beginner though.

If you just roughly cut it at 10-minute intervals and upload it at intervals, it will feel choppy and annoying.

Even dramas, don’t they build up the story with a beginning, development, turn, and conclusion and then add a hint about the next episode at the end?

【I will try to polish the scenario so that it is smoother.】

‘Didn’t you say that you can’t do the story creation area?’

【I can do some adaptation work that is not purely original. It does not violate production ethics.】

That’s good.

The 130-minute feature-length animation was thus re-released as a six-part series.

I tried watching it in time acceleration mode.

I am truly amazed.

How can such high-quality content be created just by thinking about it?

21st century AI tools have to do a whole lot of contortion just to extract a single desired still image.

“Space Opera is an animation after all.”

Even I think the drawing is bad.

Of course, there is no concept of a work failure.

What is the current quality level?

You can think of it as having been created by inserting 24 bromide images per second at a level that should be sold as limited edition goods.

We spent millions of won on each piece and created six pieces, 20 minutes each at 24 frames per second, to create an image that would have taken months to create.

I haven’t watched much animation, but

No animation drawing can come close to what video apps can create today.

Absolutely crazy quality.

The subscribers’ reactions are already noticeable.

‘I need to do some marketing before releasing it. I’ll make a teaser video that’s under 3 minutes long and make it cool.’

【Teaser video production has been completed.】

It’s so easy, really.

I watched the 3-minute teaser video all the way through.

I uploaded it to the 30THC channel with a refreshing mind.

[Green Star Journey]

[Sequential release after 1 month]

To an aspiring writer who sold a scenario, the production speed might seem ridiculously fast.

But there’s no point in wasting time worrying about that and avoiding it.

Now that we have finally acquired a video app that doesn’t take time to create video content, we should use it properly.

└What is it? What is this teaser?

└30THC is finally uploading original content?

└I got tired of watching the teaser

└Was Space Opera AnimationWowowow

└You can feel it just by watching the teaser, it’s definitely not of this world quality

└The teaser was released with a good ending, but the actual episode may be a dud, so don’t expect too much.

└Do not show off your drinking habits

I’ve become quite accustomed to expensive cameras that cost more than a mid-size sedan.

There was no need for a manual.

Because there was a top expert in video apps.

【Don’t touch the gain. At this stage, set the focus automatically. AF is auto focus. The aperture value is… .】

You said you got used to how to touch it, but you didn’t say your camera operation knowledge improved.

Just do as you are told.

Sometimes, when the video app gets frustrating, he asks for my understanding and handles the camera himself.

【At least it’s good to look like a professional who handles things skillfully in front of men.】

The video is recorded by the video app anyway, and my camera is just an empty shell.

If possible, it would be better to be seen as a veteran cameraman, at least for Hwang Hye-jin’s sake.

“Doyoung, are you really nervous?”

“No, I’m not really nervous.”

“That’s fortunate. Since you can’t tell what Doyoung’s emotional state is just by looking at his facial expression, you have to ask him like this.”

“Am I always that expressionless?”

“Yeah, you didn’t know?”

“I’ve heard a lot that the military is like a rigid machine.”

Today is the day of Hwang Hye-jin’s script reading.

That is, the day I first met other actors.

It was my first time meeting the stylist and coordinator and saying hello.

“Hello. This is Cha Do-young. Please take care of me.”

“This is Cody. Please take care of me.”

“I, I’ll take good care of you too.”

Both of them were nervous because it was a script reading, so their voices were shaking.

Since this is our Hwang Hye-jin’s first official acting activity, the staff must be nervous too.

Hwang Hye-jin was looking at the tattered script in the van.

Next to me is a sketch image I drew for him, which he looks at by turning each page.

To be exact, it’s something that the video app drew.

“Doyoung oppa, aren’t you really an art school graduate?”

“I didn’t go to college. I just dabbled in it as a hobby.”

“What a shame. You seem to have a real talent for drawing. If you had gone to art school, you would have become a really great artist. ”

How can this kid think and speak so beautifully?

By the way, thanks to the video app, I’m treated as an unfortunate genius who failed to get into art school despite his talent.

‘Outsourcing CG is harder than I thought.’

I thought the Chae Seo-yoon polar bear video would be a black hole that sucks in outsourcing.

Or is it because all the CG work that can be outsourced has already been contracted?

Arrived at the studio.

Hwang Hye-jin had her styling checked one last time inside the van.

I also followed Hwang Hye-jin from behind and pretended to take pictures with an expensive camera.

Actually, I’m just pretending to take pictures,

The video app takes the video and records it on the memory card.

If I only knew how to write good scenarios, it would have been a perfect combination.

‘Video app, don’t you think so? If possible, it would have been better if it was installed by another famous PD or director instead of me.’

【That is not the area for this app to judge.】

Moved to the script reading room.

The desks are neatly arranged in a U shape, and there are simple bottles of water and snacks on the table.

Each table had an actor’s name on it.

Our Hyejin was relatively in the corner.

It can’t be helped that the female protagonist is playing the role of a child.

‘I guess they are the managers of other actors.’

Those who appeared to be managers were holding simple hand cameras and filming a making-of video.

Suddenly, the large camera I was holding felt sturdy.

-Do you know why I buy you a large sedan instead of a normal compact or mid-sized car?

I completely understand how you feel, Team Leader.

Other managers misunderstand me as a cameraman belonging to a production company.

It’s pitiful to see rookie managers taking pictures of their own actors with their cellphones while keeping an eye on the reactions of other senior managers.

The PD and writer have arrived.

“Hello. This is PD Son Jin-goo, who directed Winter Castle.”

“This is Lee Si-hyang, who took charge of the script.”

The actors applauded.

Our Hyejin also smiled brightly and clapped her hands enthusiastically.

“Let’s do it gently since it’s our first meeting. Don’t be too nervous, relax, and don’t forget to act as if you’re not acting, hey hey. What if I film this too?”

The person in charge of making the video took detailed pictures of every single scene without paying any attention to it.

While I was taking pictures of Hwang Hye-jin, I also captured the PD and writer on camera.

‘Are you filming the entire video app and the gambling scene?’

【Yes.】

‘Let’s give it a try.’

I ordered it because I was curious about how to film it.

I almost dropped the camera because the sight was playing like a 3D hologram.

‘Crazy. Are you sure you’re recording 3D space right now?’

【Yes.】

That’s why I said there’s no need to take pictures with a camera.

Cameras can only capture images with limited compositions and fields of view.

However, the video app is recording everything that happens in the reading room as 3D data.

【After recording the 3D raw data, you can extract the appropriate composition needed for the 2D viewing medium and work on it later.】

This is a feature that would make Hollywood directors who make 3D movies with expensive equipment jump right in.

‘I heard that when filming a drama, they set up dozens of cameras at various angles and film them all at once.’

By editing the various angles of footage collected in this way, a good picture is created.

But there is no need for a video app that records the entire 3D space.

“Who asked you to stay by my side? It was all up to you! It was your decision!”

“How can you say that now!”

“Go away, I told you not to stay next to me, but you were right next to me! ”

The actors deliver their lines with just the right amount of strength and just the right amount of force.

PD Son Jin-goo reads the script and gives simple requests to the actors between scenes.

The actors recorded the feedback they received in their scripts without fail.

The heating isn’t that strong, but the actors’ heat makes the room warm.

***

Some actor managers felt a subtle dissatisfaction with the reading process.

“Mr. Making, aren’t you favoring only rookies? You’ve been taking pictures of rookie actresses since a while ago.”

“Even though it’s a remake, it’s still disappointing. Why don’t you turn the camera to the other actors?”

“Aren’t you discriminating against that side because the team leader came to take care of them directly?”

The big making cameraman was chasing Hwang Hye-jin the whole time.

Sometimes when the PD reads the script, or when the writer makes a request.

Except when Hwang Hye-jin’s counterpart is delivering her lines, the lens is always focused on her.

“You’re being too blatantly biased.”

“I guess that’s my taste.”
