Camera Perspective You Must Know Before Making Animation – Fate Strange Fake Deep Staging Rules
You might think that a character’s personality is shaped solely through the plot, but in reality, character positioning and the way the camera frames them play a crucial role in defining their presence. And the director in this anime will make it very clear to you. The Fate series is part of the Titemoon franchise, a brand whose ideals and ideology toward anime quality have always been top tier. Even back in 2006, they were already ahead of the curve, showcasing highquality animation and direction. And if you’re unaware, this scene also uses structured framing setup that you can use as a reference. Especially this empty space of negative framing after Saber dashed forward isn’t without purpose. This scene is an example of subjective framing designed to immerse you in Saber’s perspective as you search for Lancer’s whereabouts, making you even more curious about what Lancer will do next to fight back against Saber. That scene may seem simple or even common, something anyone could create. But without understanding the underlying theory, a director would struggle to craft an attractive scene. The difference in power cannot rely solely on intuition when framing a subject is to maintain their highest status and aura. Deep staging is basic camera shot consistently used by top professionals in Japan and worldwide to create a perspective between characters within a frame. The basic of deep staging is when the character in the foreground acts as the king or queen while the one farther from the camera appears weaker. That’s why if you apply this technique in reverse, you might end up making your character who’s supposed to look super powerful appear weak. Because even until this scene ends, Orlando is never placed in the foreground. Only in the reflection of the mirror does his presence appear, where his position seems unreal and never higher than [Music] Francesca’s. Of course, in this scene, Orlando isn’t just standing still. He walks past Vera to emphasize the difference in their positions. If a basic framing technique is used to its fullest potential, the scene can become a masterpiece that plays with the viewer’s subconscious. And you might be one of the lucky ones to know this secret. Maybe I’ll show you another fascinating example, just in another video next time. [Music] Do you know the scene in the final moments of this anime is fascinating because its framing provides a conclusion to each character’s situation. For example, Jester remains alive despite being killed by assassin as he possesses a revolver heart which is clearly showcased as his pride for this holy grail war. The fouiest part was also interesting as it’s presenting a visual metaphor that he is hiding and running from a great storm. This reflects how the overwhelming power of Gilgamesh is beyond comprehension. However, the scene that call void framing like this is similar to a gamble if not executed with the right calculation and timing. But in this anime, this extremely budget savings scene actually peaks and showcases Gilgamesh’s godly strength as beyond imagination. Because in the previous scene, they fought in an epic battle filled with stunning particle effects the whole scene. That’s why this void framing part which leaves only the characters outlines and I colors ends up looking amazing as if Gilgamish’s power is so immense that it even breaks the animation itself. Even its impact can be seen from the moon. However, that framing technique is not recommended if you only want to cut the budget without sufficient story buildup to cover the weaknesses of the framing itself. The final impression cut that appears as a conclusion in this anime’s ending is indeed fascinating because in Orlando’s case, I’m certain that you’ve often come across this kind of positioning concept on Twitter, especially in anime memes that fill with suspicious things. This aligns with the mid-ep episode scene where Francesca discusses a major secret about the chaotic events that will unfold around him. Even for flat, he is only shown through the reflection of a sink faucet. However, this isn’t because he is in the bathroom, but rather because this framing is deliberately used to represent his secretive nature and genius and magic where he can watch Ankadu versus Gilgamesh without being detected by those demonst. [Music] Say hi, Seno.
Our eyes naturally look for movement, contrast, and focus. Deep staging helps direct attention without needing fast cuts or obvious cues.
