My Melody & Kuromi|What’s your favorite scene?|Lead Animator Yukari Kakiuchi
I’m Yukari Kakiuchi, Lead Animator. My favorite scene is in episode 1. I was impressed when I first read the script. That episode starts off like this, with various characters constantly appearing, Mix something you don’t like
with something you like… and you get a sense of the scale of Mariland, the worldview, in just the first episode. It’s such a sunny, tranquil world. I think it’s a truly joyful scene. I want everyone to watch the river and wonder, How is it flowing? The director said
he wanted to express the flow of the river, since there are scenes
showing the river as a whole, as well as close-up scenes of characters
talking on the bridge above it. It took about a month of trial and error
to develop the organic movement, working together with an animator on the team. We experimented with applying
various frosted glass textures to clear acrylic. We placed paper
printed with a water mist effect underneath and subtly moved it frame by frame. You can see the river bubbling with beads,
which was the director’s idea. Although it is a handcrafted miniature set, intricate techniques make it feel like
a real river, with water flowing through it. Many creators were involved in developing the river, so please take a close look at it. Animators spend months working alone on the set,
surrounded by black curtains. You’d wonder if they can really
keep working steadily on their own. It’s tough, demanding work that requires precision and a lot of energy. Yet even when no one is watching, they work steadily, and the result comes out to be breathtaking. We, the animators, want to hear the laughter and cheers of the audience, so we animate each shot while imagining how they will react
the first time they see it. Thinking about how we can surprise the audience, this team of animators puts a lot of thought
and creativity into their work every day, whether it’s slightly exaggerating movement
or paying close attention to tiny details. I don’t think it would be possible to create
such an incredible film without these amazing artists. My apologies if this sounds like bragging.
