That's what I call editing.
This is also the correct way
of viewing a movie.
It's necessary to see it twice.
It's necessary to see it twice.
It's necessary to see it twice.
It's necessary to see it many times!
That's why you bothered to show up?
You have to be diligent to be an editor.
Seems there isn't enough material
for me to start, so I'll see you later.
How dare they drop dead
without permission?
The deadline is almost here, and
we don't even have the trailer finished.
Can I ask something?
When did you start being
a migrant animation director?
Maybe it pays good, but isn't it
tough with enemies everywhere?
Why not settle down at some studio?
The best work is always done in a foreign
place, in a situation similar to exile.
They say all of Lenin's ideas were
formed while he was outside Russia.
In those days, the Russian people
suffered from hunger...
...but Lenin himself was riding a bike
in the mountains near Zurich.
By being in such a situation...
...by being in two different places
simultaneously...
...one can best contemplate ideas.
In two different places simultaneously.
Right.
Having one's self divided into two.
A situation like that.
But anyway, doing what we're doing...
...are you sure anything
will come out of it?
From here to there, and from there
to here, we'rejust moving.
What a movie always protests is
"a different place and a different space."
A movie is made by moving.
Look.
The movie is right in front
of our eyes now.
Hey, wake up!
Are you alright?
Pretty good, aren't you?
A mere migrant animation director,
acting as he pleases.
This is where your filmography ends.
Finish him!
Yeah!
Director.
This photo-gun is capable of
24 FPS rapid-firing.
When they break the rule of the subjects
and go over the 9 feet line...
...that's our chance.
Go.
Having failed to arrange
an army of subcontractors...
...those 3 launched a desperate attack on
us, but ended up destroying themselves.
And, things continued to take turns
for the worse.
The evil hands of the faceless killer...
...began to reach out toward
the other members of the staff.
The next day, Kawai the composer...
...who had been frightened by the
shadow of death and gone into hiding...
...was found drowned in Yugawara,
where he had run away.
And, upon hearing the news, Handawara...
Han?
Han!
Haann!!
Haann!!
Our one and only ally,
the chief who was struggling on...
...while leading the
incompetent assistants, was no more.
And as if to deliver a final blow...
...the sound director Shijimi
was killed by poison laced in her lipstick.
I can't see you
From behind the curtain, a voice came
I lifted it with the tip of my finger
And saw only an empty space
It's only my imagination
There's nobody there
The past I've been looking for is a fake
The days I miss so are not here
Oh, I cannot say goodbye
Twisted times passing each other
Behind the time when the light shines
You block them off
The color that changes
when the moon waxes
Light and shadow do not mix
Fascinated by the closed world
I start falling without knowing
Looking through a piece of blue glass
Maybe I can meet my shadow self
The colorless outline is sneering
Oh, sharing a dream, that's all it was
One person replacing the other
Behind the time when the light shines
I block them off
The color that changes when the moon waxes
The front is the back of the back, so...
...From behind the door
of the emergency exit
Looking for tomorrow...
Looking for tomorrow...
Can't sleep?
You should try to get some rest at least.
As if to race against
the looming deadline...
...the situation took an abrupt turn.
Yet, the movie had to be propelled
forward without a moment to spare.
However, on that day...
...I was beginning to understand the
true nature of the strange feeling...
...that had constantly clung to me...
...since I first set foot in this studio.
