2 questions for the smart ones

Post by The Hitokiri Battousai » Sat Jan 03, 2004 11:03 pm

k guys i have 2 qeustions for the smart people here that I've been wondering for a long time but never got a answer.

1). Does Japanese have anything against a American making an anime? Say a American came to Japanese, studies how to draw proper anime/manga and made one. Would the Japanese public be outraged or won't they mind?

2). I dont know the first hting of animation. How do they do it?? My friend said by computers. Is that true. I would just like to know how the creator "animates the anime".

thanks

1. I'm not really all that sure as I have no knowledge of Japanese social dynamics. Though I would go out on a limb and say that if it's good, they'll like it.


2. They use computers more than they used to. Before they would draw each frame on a cell, then scan them on to make a moving picture. Now they color the frames on computers, which is how series like Vandread and Raph Xephon get that bright look to em.

1) That's a good question. I doubt the Japanese have anything against it. Anime is just a style of art that orginated in Japan. If American animators want to use it, I think it would be considered flattery somewhat. There are two shows I know of that are American and drawn in anime style. Teen Titans and...well, I don't know the other title, but its about these three valley girls who are secret agents. ^^;

2) A complicated process animation is. :) Yes, computers are used, but most things are drawn but hand frame by frame, I believe. Computers are used for coloring and putting the pieces together. Don't take my word for it, though. I'm not 100% sure how the process actually works. ^^;

They wouldn't mind. American animators like Jan Scott Frasier work in Japan and have done so successfully and with no problems beyond overcoming the language barrier.

What I know about number 1:

If a non-japanese person tries to speak their language they are amused. If s/he becomes proficient then for some reason they feel as if there privacy has been intruded.

I don't know about anime/manga though.

1.) Well, the way I hear it (no factual basis on this, just a rumor) Vampire Hunter D was made in Japan and at first was only availiable in subtitled format here in the US. When Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust was made I heard that it was made in the US, and at first was only available in Japan subbed in nihongo, and the nihonjin were livid about that. Remember, this is a rumor!

2.) As I hear it, Animators do most of the work on paper. Animators are divided in two categories, Keyframe animators, who draw the most important scenes exclusively, and the In-betweeners, who actually do the movements between the key sequences. Exampple: Man draws gun. Key animators would have him with his hand on the gun, and the gun out. The in-betweeners fill in the material between the two. Each pic is photograped onto a strip of film, then voila! your brain blends the individual frames together to create motion.

As for computers, I imagine that they play a bigger and bigger part in animation. I knew a guy who could draw anime sequences using MSPaint.
