mention ordinary people, but animals, plants, monsters, aliens... ...and even desks and chairs and melon bread... ...or even a gunk can, as an existence that has inner personality... ...and a specific role in a certain story, can be created. A dream character can be anything and can be drawn in any way. A character that a real actor cannot play, even if he tried. However, because of this unlimited possibility... ...animation characters are forced to suffer from not being able to shoulder... ...the ideological demands placed upon them. In other words, the preferences and personal feelings of the people involved. Tall. Short. With long hair, or short. Pretty. Ugly. Man. Woman. Child. Old man. The planning meeting gets entangled, the director gets mad... ...the animation director is called names, the sponsor is cursed... ...and the fans send razor blades. A character is drawn by multiple animators... ...and does not bear the slightest resemblance. Yet, as long as its voice is performed by the same person... ...or even if voice talents change in an emergency situation... ...the existence of that character is unquestioningly identified. What a mystery. After all, is a character an existence which, using images as a catalyst... ...and propagates itself inside the mind of the audience... ...an existence without substance? Is it an image reinforced by countless episodes and situations... ...and nothing more? I suspect the director's hesitation resided on this point. The task given to me, to design an "absent character"... ...may have been derived from his fresh attempt, secret malice and his obsession. A character who is repeatedly spoken of in the movie. The one who is always the main topic of conversation... ...and yet does not appear on screen even once-an absent character. A character doesn't need a persona or a specific instance of a mysterious air... ...of a certain character which is emitted as the sediment of the persona... ...because it's absent. A character who is never exposed to the eyes of an audience... ...although recognized as an inner personality. A character defined solely by the intention of the creator... ...a pure and ultimate existence. But, after having shut myself up in the apartment, waiting for death as I am now... ...what comes to my mind is something exactly opposite. A character that is constantly on screen, but who in reality is absent. Maybe such a character could also exist. OK. Thank you. Thank you very much. Quite a performance. If at least half of it was in color, I could've added a bit more sound, too. It's alright. You even added some neat effects. It turned out to be a nice posthumous work. The line-drawing is the posthumous work? Pathetic. So, what about the autopsy result? The estimated time of death is a week ago. From starvation. His stomach was completely empty. So it was right after the mutilation murder of Itoh... ...and 5 days before Aya and Tsuya's drawings. I wonder if it's a serial murder case by the same killer. From the screenwriter... ...to the animation director... ...to the color keys. Who's next? Can't tell you. But... But, what? Judging from what's happened so far... ...you could say those with whom the director had... ...or tried to have a meeting with are being killed in that order. Congratulations Kawai, you are on. What? Why? Because the sound effects and music are in one and the same boat. Mutilation, starvation, and drowning. The next murder method would be... What do you think? Don't know. Recording Director Shijimi Shiba Composer Ken Kawai A serial killer or whatever he is. We the sound producers can, if we want to... ...decide life and death of a character by a mere sound effect or a line. I'd like to see him try to kill me! The introduction of voices into movies.
