I hope you saw and liked the 2020 anime "Idea Reader."
The story talks about a student named (Yoshi) who has supernatural power that enables him to read the thoughts of his classmates and steal their answers during the exam, and his archenemy is the superior student (Hito), and he has a supernatural ability to memorize information and complex issues within an hour, which made his classmate He is envious of him, and of course we do not forget the mathematics professor, who knows the abilities of these two students, and is constantly trying to put them under harsh tests, and put the most difficult questions that no one can solve, and his main goal is to see them as they fail even once, so the teacher does not He loves to overcome one of his questions, especially those who possess supernatural abilities, and here he surprises everyone with the exam next day, so who will succeed between them?
During home quarantine, I told myself, instead of spending time on social media, why don't you make a movie, especially since I am full-time, and I really decided to do a short anime movie, as I do every year.
The first step in any work is the idea, and I took it from a manga that my sister designed ten years ago, and then I converted it into a digital manga, and since the story is beautiful, I decided to reformulate it in the form of a movie, because as you know well, I am not good at writing! Then I turned it into a script, especially since I own the story "from the manga", and I easily passed this stage, as everything is ready. Until now, but I modified the ending a lot, only this part that I am familiar with.
The second step is the storyboard, which is a very important stage. Without it, I would not have been able to complete any anime movie from A to Z. Here I drew the required scenes, based on the scenario, and the drawing was random, and there is no need to focus, Because the most important thing is to outline the scenes.
The third step is the backgrounds: I spent 3 days drawing backgrounds, and I was inspired a lot of school scenes, from some anime, and with the help of Clip studio paint I was able to add seats and chairs, which were in 3D format, this made it easier for me to work, and everything I did I drew a little bit of books, pens, etc., and changed the color of the seats, the floor, and the windows, and it is worth noting that I do not like drawing backgrounds, as it requires time and focus, so I did not pay much attention to it, because it is not my specialty.
If you want, sometimes I do a little bit and finish the previous things in a hurry, just in order to come to the animation stage.
The fourth step, the animation was "my playground of course", and before that I was able to prepare and draw the main characters, with the colors of the skin, hair and eyes, and the school clothes were uniform, as the subject of the school uniform was solved!
The biggest challenge for me was that I chose a difficult school movie, and this means that there are many personalities here and there, and I found myself involved with all of them, but I tried to circumvent the problem, and I had no choice but to risk leaving the extras, and focus only on The two heroes, and the professor more, while making a slight movement on the students who appear in the scene, such as the hand that writes, or moving the features of the face and so on, so as not to make more effort than required.
The fifth step was the most difficult, which is dubbing, I do not hide you a secret that it is the most tense moment, because I did not know where I would come with voices performing the characters, I did not find at the beginning, but then I got to know the team de Family and from there we cooperated with us regarding the Arabic dubbing of the film While I took care of his dubbing in Japanese through independent Japanese artists, and I set my sights on forming a team specializing in animation someday.
This movie is about Japanese characters, but in the near future, we will be producing works with an Arab environment
And now, I will leave you with the storyboard pictures, backgrounds and part of the script. I ask you to share it via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for the benefit to prevail and see you well next time.
