snknews: tdkr-cs91939: New illustration and S3(mentioned Part 2-RTS arc as well) interview with the directors (Araki Tetsuro x Koizuka Masashi) Edit: Forgot to mention, this is from the December issue of Animedia Translation of Animedia December 2018 (Scans Above) Interview with Chief Director Araki Tetsuro & Director Koizuka MasashiAll translations by @suniuz & @fuku-shuu of @snknews(Please credit if used) Introduction page highlight:The Structure of Season 3 Part 2 will change from “Humans vs. Humans” to “Humans vs. Titans” - Season 3 Part 1 has concluded smoothly. As the two of you said prior to its broadcast, the action sequences of combating fellow humans were quite exciting.Araki: Thank you very much! The Action Animation Director of the Levi 3DMG sequence, Imai Arifumi, has become a hero in fans’ eyes. Some have dubbed his work as “Insanity-Level Animation” (Laughs). Of course, that’s actually a compliment.Koizuka: This “Insanity-Level” moniker has already become an inside joke at work (Laughs).Araki: People would say, “Please create another ‘Insanity-Level’ scene” or “Is the ‘Insanity-Level’ work currently in progress?” (Laughs)Koizuka: All in all, the audience reactions to what our staff produced have been quite impassioned - that never happened before, but we’re also very pleased by this. There were even committed fans who voluntarily gathered fan letters/messages over social media and brought them directly to our offices, even though we already received them online.Araki: Yep yep. Even though we’ve had fans bring gifts to our offices before, we’ve never received this much cup ramen and snacks. For everyone who organized these things on their own, I want to take this opportunity to show our gratitude. Thank you all!Koizuka: Truly thankful to everyone. - That alone must’ve touched so many people. Did any portion of Season 3 Part 1 leave strong impressions on you?Araki: I would have to say episode 46 - when Rod Reiss transformed into a Titan and the battle to defend Orvud District took place.Koizuka: For us, that part took about a whole year to prepare.Araki: We completely separated the work for this episode from all the other episodes. The work itself already commenced last year, because Higuchi Shinji-san (SnK Japanese live action films’ director) did the storyboarding for us…Koizuka: Before we even had a screenplay and only confirmed the episode structure, Araki-san randomly suggested “for Higuchi-san to storyboard all the scenes in Orvud.” He asked, “What do you think?” to all the producers, and we just went from there. WIT Studio’s George Wada [T/N: President of WIT and Producer of SnK] made efforts to reach out to Higuchi-san and corresponded with him. After that, the two of us also went to visit Higuchi-san in person to discuss the prospect. He happily committed. 繼續閱讀 -- source link
