Chae Seo-yoon has really good eyesight.

Find a scene that matches the storyboard exactly and compare it by pausing.

“Wow, the lines are exactly the same, as if you actually traced them.”

Director Kim Seong-jin seriously accepted Director Kim Kyung-wook’s admiration.

“If I hadn’t seen it drawn by hand, I would have thought it was tracing. It’s really exactly the same. Oh, and by the way, is the scale different? ”

“The conti is a little bigger. Is it because the laptop screen is small?”

“No, but more than that, how on earth did a CG company apply this quality to live… When did Hollywood CG technology develop to this extent?”

“This is crazy. Wow, I’m speechless.”

The two men were whispering to each other and expressing their admiration, but I couldn’t hear them clearly.

I was only concerned about the back of Nanchae Seo-yoon’s head.

I’m really curious about what kind of expression you have on your face while watching the video.

I can’t even sneak forward and look at their faces.

Chae Seo-yoon plays the video repeatedly from beginning to end.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the back of her head as she calmly flipped through the Conti sketchbook.

The director and the manager also became quiet and watched the video without saying a word like Chae Seo-yoon.

“Why does this break every now and then?”

Was the screen broken? I didn’t see it.

【Hardware performance is not suitable for playback. Replacement is recommended.】

“Oh, it’s not a video issue. It’s because the laptop’s graphics performance can’t keep up with the video quality.”

“I see.”

Only then did Chae Seo-yoon look back at me.

It’s a strange face every time I see it.

How can the eyes, nose, and mouth be placed so harmoniously on such a small, white face?

Aren’t the odds of winning the lottery so bad that you can’t even imagine it?

“I wish I could see the finished version soon.”

“It’ll be done soon. 30THC is using AI-based CG tools, so it can work at such an unbelievable speed. ”

These days, it’s a very convenient world because anything works if you use AI as an excuse.

If the future app had come 10 years earlier, it might have been difficult to find an excuse to hang around.

Come to think of it, isn’t the future app also a video production AI a thousand years from now?

“The camera doesn’t have much to do. In the end, CG does everything.”

Director Kim Sung-jin spoke awkwardly.

Will filming end like this?

“There’s no need for additional shooting. Even the rough CG is already beyond what I imagined. How can we continue shooting?”

Originally, Kim Seong-jin was in charge, but the advertiser wanted it so our three teams started handling it.

Team Leader Jo Woon-seok made the decision… Where did he go in the meantime?

“Just a moment.”

I went to a quiet place and called Team Leader Jo Woon-seok.

-Why are you asking me that? It’s up to the head of the car to decide. What do I know?

“Can I really judge?”

-Isn’t it natural that the CG section is also under the control of the head of our team?

I thought that Team Leader Jo Woon-seok would at least play a nominal role as general manager.

He left it all up to me.

Well, I like this and it’s comfortable.

The director, the manager, and the model kept looking at the rough CG version while I was on the phone.

“I’m still a beginner in video composition, so it’s hard for me to judge… .”

Director Kim Sung-jin’s expression becomes increasingly strange.

“The director said it came out so well that there was no need for additional filming, but what do you think, Chae Seo-yoon?”

“If I want to film more, can I film more?”

“Maybe?”

“Will the CG get better if I take more shots?”

“CG comes out with the same quality. However, if the original is different, the video will naturally have a different feel.”

“Then let’s take a few more shots. It’s a shame to finish filming all at once.”

When I looked at director Kim Sung-jin, he was already moving to set up again.

I try to move, but something weakly grabs my elbow.

Looking back, it’s Chae Seo-yoon.

He’s carefully pulling on the sleeve of my clothes with his fingertips.

“Is there anything you want from me?”

“Yes?”

“Are there any slightly different acting orders?”

hmm….

The tone of the acting now is basically calm.

“Is this kind of feeling possible? A middle school girl with extreme E tendencies, someone who just bursts into laughter even when fallen leaves roll by? Is that possible?”

“I can do it. But my face is mature, so I don’t think it will fit.”

I looked closely at Chae Seo-yoon’s face.

Unlike the babyish Hwang Hye-jin, she has a pure and pitiful visual that is full of maturity.

“I’ve had this face since middle school.”

“Yes?”

This is my first time hearing that too?

“You can do it, but can’t you laugh?”

“Why would I laugh?”

“I’m not used to girlish emotions. I’m in my early teens with extreme E-type tendencies who gets excited even by falling leaves. It doesn’t suit me.”

If she had that face since middle school, is Chae Seo-yoon trying to act out emotions she’s never experienced before?

“Seo Yoon-ah, you don’t really like playing young and energetic characters, do you? Are you really going to do it?”

“The executive producer wants it. Then you should do it. You’re an actor.”

Director Kim Kyung-wook looked at Chae Seo-yoon with an embarrassed look, and then their eyes met.

From what I’ve heard, it seems like I gave Chae Seo-yoon a acting order that didn’t match hers.

“Well, feel free to try it. I’m going to use the best one anyway.”

“That’s right. What are you worried about?”

Chae Seo-yoon shook her head and moved.

I should bring my sketchbook too… Where did it go?

Oh, there’s Chae Seo-yoon holding it in her hand.

“Hey, Chief Cha.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Since our Seo Yoon has a mature image, she doesn’t really fit with innocent and pure characters, right? Even if you don’t laugh, you’ll get hurt.”

“Don’t worry. Why am I laughing?”

“You must endure it. You must endure it.”

As the camera rolled, I realized why Director Kim Kyung-wook said that.

Where did that veteran actress with such great acting skills go?

Like a child who was forced to go to the school festival because no one else wanted to do it, Seo Yoon stood stiffly in front of the camera.

I was barely able to pull off a really long take, and I had to hold back my laughter.

‘I think it doesn’t match my self-image at all, so I feel like acting is becoming more awkward.’

The cut sign fell.

Chae Seo-yoon approached me with a calm expression as if to say, “When was she so stiff?”

“Not really?”

“Yes? No. It was very good.”

“Lies. It’s written all over your face?”

“Honestly, I thought it was very refreshing because it felt human. Usually, it’s a bit,”

“Was it cold?”

“Calm down. Very much.”

I can’t tell what those eyes are thinking as they stare intently.

Hwang Hye-jin’s emotions were immediately revealed in her eyes.

“Please also give me other concepts.”

“Oh, yes. Then this time… .”

I thought I would be satisfied since it came out well at first, but that wasn’t the case at all.

Chae Seo-yoon was very greedy, contrary to her appearance.

I treated the CF filming as if it were an art film submission.

So, my early departure from work was canceled, but I also enjoyed the work site.

***

A few days later.

I submitted three versions of Na○ki.

Director Jenny Kim was so surprised that she contacted me.

-I had no idea you could make 3 final edits in such a short time. It’s really amazing.

Beyond the interpreter’s voice of the skinhead I had seen before, I heard the excited voice of Jenny Kim.

-But CG costs money for each frame, so if you make three copies like this, won’t the cost triple?

“There were no additional costs other than a small electricity bill. Above all, advertiser satisfaction is the top priority. That is 30THC’s belief. ”

Now, if Na○ki chooses one, it’s over.

In fact, it’s something that can be finished quickly with a click of a button in the future app.

We need to give advertisers a choice so they can feel satisfied with outsourcing.

If you entrust a job to someone else and they only submit one completed version, the advertiser who spent a lot of money feels like they are being forced to make a choice, so their satisfaction level decreases.

The reason why a plan that was worked hard to create is rejected without a reason is because of that damned lack of satisfaction.

[Team Leader] I will use my half day off in the morning and come to work after lunch.

[Team Leader Jo Woon-seok] I won’t just submit it for approval and call it an outside job.

[Team Leader Jo Woon-seok] This is the job, right?

[Me] Oh, then thank you.

After finishing my work in the morning, I headed to the office.

As I was walking with my camera backpack on my back, a sign suddenly caught my eye.

[File oil painting]

It was a store that sold oil painting materials.

I stopped in front of the store without realizing it and took a quick look inside.

‘Premium cut, is it possible to extract the image using something like oil painting rather than pencil sketch?’

【Of course.】

【It doesn’t matter what the method is, whether it’s oil painting, watercolor painting, acrylic painting, ink painting, color painting, or mural painting.】

【Contents produced by the future app can be ‘output’ in various ways.】

I thought of a scene from the CF I submitted that I particularly liked.

[Seo-yoon squats down on the lakeside, putting down her surfboard and putting on sandals]

The CF is full of flashy, pretty, and beautiful images from beginning to end.

Of all of them, I liked that scene the most.

I’m also curious about what the result will be like if it’s ‘printed’ in oil painting.

【I will provide an explanation of the necessary materials.】

A list of materials I needed to buy came to mind.

The displayed materials had marks on them that only I could see.

I entered the store.

***

I had the purchased oil painting materials delivered to the 30THC office and headed to the office with a light heart.

‘The pencil sketch is amazing, but I wonder what the oil painting version will be like.’

As a versatile video production app that can handle everything from production to editing, output, and broadcasting, its functions are amazing.

Well, it’s not like they can make a full-length blockbuster movie with just one word, ‘Please do it.’

‘If the CF gets a good response later, should I put it up for auction? Then what will happen to the rights between me and ○○ki? After all, I’m an insider… .’

The materials haven’t even been packaged yet, but my mind has already flown away to the goods auction.

But I am sure that the CF response will be very hot.

No matter how much I think about it, it came out really well.

If that gets made public, the beverage can company might ask to film another commercial.

“Chief Cha! Why aren’t you answering the phone?”

“Huh? Oh, I guess you didn’t feel the vibration because you were walking. What’s going on?”

As soon as I entered the office, Team Leader Jo Woon-seok started making a fuss and causing a ruckus.

“I’m talking about the Na○ki CF! I got a call from Director Jenny Kim and she said she made a decision! The number 1 that Director Cha said was the best was chosen! ”

“I knew it would happen.”

The version I filmed first ended up being chosen as the final version.

Even if you open up your closet and think carefully about choosing clothes to wear, you end up wearing the first thing you take out.

“But it doesn’t seem urgent enough to warrant a phone call, right?”

“I guess there was a fuss at the US headquarters because the final edited versions were so good. The response was very enthusiastic.”

Of course, you wouldn’t be able to come to your senses with 30th century CG.

The more you know, the more you will feel the greatness of future technology.

I’m trying to hold back my laughter to maintain my serious image.

“So let’s make it into a movie.”

“Yes?”

Oh, my poker face is broken.

“The head office is going to make a movie with this CF concept and make an official proposal soon.”

“… How far will this go?”

“Well? I don’t know since it wasn’t something I raised.”

I was confident that the response would be very hot once the CF was released.

It was already boiling over even before it was released.
