personal record

Chuansen Shizhi was born in/kloc-0 on February 20th, 960. When he was studying at Keio University, he visited StudioNue, which is famous for its sci-fi art, with his classmates Haruhiko Mikimoto, Hoshino Bujiro and Noki Hiroshi. After being admitted to the Engineering Department of Keio University, I became a designer, so I joined the company of 1978. Gong Wuyigui's _ Tao, a predecessor, began to attract attention as a cutting-edge mechanical designer in his works such as _ Shi, so please drop out of Keio University.

1982, the main mechanical variable fighter VF- 1 Valkyria was designed for the first time in StudioNue's original sci-fi animation "fortress of time and space", which became famous with a brand-new concept. In addition, he also played his own personality in the composition and performance of his works in the planning stage.

/kloc-in 0/984, he was promoted to * * * producer in the theater work "Love in Time and Space Fortress". At the age of 24, the strength of the first producer work was highly affirmed. Although many people were looking forward to his next work, they failed to get the project. 65438+ spent the second half of the 1980s in the downturn. The animated short film "Dancing Dreams" was also suspended due to the performance bottleneck.

After entering 1990, I came back to be a mechanical designer. After his works such as "The Equation of High Intelligence", he officially returned to the supervisory position in "MacrossPlus" on 1994. Since then, he has continued to be active in all aspects and also participated in the production of the series of games called "Real Core". The renovation design of Sony's pet dog AIBO has also become a topic. As an image writer, I can see the style of inheriting the world from myth after the war of the original work Holy Sky. I opened up a new realm beyond robot animation in ィトハブ Fantasy Kenjiの Spring, which describes half of Kenji Miyazawa's life.

1995 participated in the establishment of Setlet Company. Since 2003, he has served as the company's banned clothing, using 3DCG technology to challenge more complex mechanical movements. The unprecedented masterpiece "Akerlio" has aroused heated discussion among animation lovers.

The life of the character

Chuansen Shizhi joined the animation circle in 1978 and loved fighters since he was a child. In 1982, he met a godsend opportunity, which was the birth of the classic fortress of time and space! ! He became famous for his breakthrough design "Mutant Warrior", and the overwhelming popularity of the film made Chuan Senxiu quickly become the first person in mechanical design, matching Kunio Okawara's status as a master. Later, he became a sports car designer because of the famous "New Century Equation CYBERFORMULA", and he is still the latest series of OVA "Sin! It can be seen that its position is firm!

Although Kawamori Xiuzhi has made great achievements in mechanical design, he is not satisfied with his immediate achievements. 1984, the movie version of Time and Space Fortress was released. When everyone thought that the director was still the TV version of Noboru Ishiguro, it was surprising that Shinji Kawamori was actually the director! Its "amazing" degree is like a movie version directed by Kunio Okawara, which is very strange!

However, since Chuansen Xiu has been given such an important job, he naturally agrees with his ability. The final result is also very good. The film version of "Time and Space Fortress" headed by He Sen is very solid and smooth, and the overall feeling is similar to that of Hollywood blockbusters, especially in the first 20 minutes!

After the film version of "The Fortress of Time and Space" was a great success, Chuansenxiu conceived another work, which was more original, with a script, a director and a producer, and found the person who made the scenery and supervised the painting in Haruhiko Mikimoto. This set is considered to be the masterpiece of the reorganization of the team of "Fortress" in time and space, most of which are dancing dreams! But somehow, the film was finally stopped.

Despite the unfortunate incident in which the idea was beheaded, Kawamori Shihji did not stop because of it, and his activities were even worse. After that, Time and Space Fortress released Time and Space Fortress Plus》OVA. Chuansen Shizhi not only booked the film, but also wrote a story and supervised the work "Carrying the Banner". He met Shinichir? Watanabe, the director who is famous for COBOYBEBOP. As a result, The Fortress of Time and Space has achieved a rare "European and American flavor" in Japanese animation, and it has also received a good response overseas. Later, Fortress of Time and Space 7 was also written by Kawamori, and achieved good results. With the above works, Kawamori's position as a complete creator of animation has been affirmed by the market and people in the industry! The relationship between Kawamori Shi Zhi and Battlestar of Time and Space is endless, because he even made the mechanical settings of the game version! This is really a long-term relationship!

In addition to "fortress of time and space", Kawamori Xiu also conceived a successful work "Escalowne R", which has a strong stamina in Japan and even released a movie version in 2000! And the movie version of COWBOYBEBOP, its TV version of the world setting is also from Kawamori Shiki.

Interview with Kawamori Ishiguro

-from MP-3Starscream manual.

Program hunter

* Chinese characters have been translated.

As a producer, shji Kawamori, the founder of MP-3Starscream, is a Japanese writer and an expert who is better at flying machines than anyone else. After absorbing Hesse's knowledge, "MP-3Starscream" was born. From Herson's speech, we can also feel his enthusiasm for this product.

Please say a few words about participating in the design of Starscream this time. =====

Because VF- 1 Valkyria in Battlestar of Time was originally designed based on F- 14, I think it is really interesting to challenge the series of deformation toys with the theme of F- 15. Therefore, it is really surprising that this can be achieved this time.

● Has there been a great change in the original experimental works? =====

This song MP-3Starscream is another producer after HybridStyle-02Convoy. When I saw the experimental work of Starscream made by TAKARATOMY, I took this opportunity to make a lot of suggestions because TAKARATOMY said at that stage that "it doesn't matter even if it is changed on a large scale".

Basically, in the initial experimental stage, the modeling from above has been done very well, but in the following part, there are still some "Diaclone", "Combat Robot" in other words "Transformers (hereinafter referred to as TF)" Starscream, which can not help but make people whisper "hmm ~?" This place. Anyway, these places are still very interesting, right? At least, I think as an airplane, some parts have great air resistance, so something must be done anyway.

Although as a "TF" toy, the deformed robot state must have details and bumps that conform to the world view, the "front longitudinal section" is unacceptable. In addition, even if you can temporarily turn a blind eye because it is a small place of the deformation toy, you want to create a work that can be smoothly connected and combined into a whole.

● Is this work quite close to the real body? =====

In order to add the deformation mechanism naturally, there are still several places that cannot be realized in any case without making some modifications on the real body. Originally, it was based on the common F- 15, but considering the sense of quantity of hands and feet, because F- 15 StrikeEagle is more suitable, so I finally decided to use StrikeEagle. I think the arc of the engine part is the charm of F- 15. But the Starscream engine of the experimental work was blocked by the tail wing, which I think is really a waste. Unfortunately, legs are wings, and the original good figure was murdered like this.

So, this time, try to move the tail up. Also, the toe deformation mechanism in robot form is also very interesting. Include deformed parts, but in terms of the number of joints, it must be a multiple of VF- 1 Valkyrie.

● What is the most promising part of robot form? =====

Although it is part of the original factory test work, part of the nose is folded under the canopy, which makes people feel that it is done well. On the other hand, because what I did here is very interesting, it gives me a kind of courage: as I said just now, we must achieve the same quality for the problem of air resistance. Then the nozzle is also good. Although it is different from the actual body, it is made into a three-dimensional nozzle that can move like shaking its head, and it also improves the landing performance of the robot.

But then again, the gatling gun (Gatling machine gun) on the side of the car body is also a good place. Although the actual attack eagle was only equipped with Gatling machine guns on the right side, because Starscream is a Transformers, it was installed on both sides this time. It can also be used as a weapon on the shoulder in the robot state.

Recently, my robot design deliberately deviated from the proportion of human design. But this MP-3Starscream, I hope some people will think it is an attempt to keep the nostalgic style in a sense and add some elements of today's style. Just like upgrading Valkyrie to Super Valkyria, I think it will be easy this time.

What do you think of coloring? =====

The overall tone may feel different according to everyone's preferences, but the real reproduction of StrikeEagle is given priority. Because now the style of the real entity has been truly displayed, I want to refer to the real entity in coloring. As I said just now, it is a key point to eliminate the sense of disharmony from below and from above. In the robot form, blue will be dispersed to different parts such as arms and body, while in the airplane form, blue cannot be dispersed. This consideration is also an important point in deciding the color scheme used now.

And if you don't need to consider the role of Starscream, you can come up with other color schemes, so please look forward to redrawing this piece. Isn't it great? As an airplane fan, you are also interested in repainting.

Please say a few words about the future = = =

I also want to participate in the design supervision of TF in the future. Personally, I want to try the BinalTech series based on real cars and classic retro cars. Ah, I would be very happy if Diaclone's robot base can be copied with the current technology. (Laughter)

It's called "Transformed River Sen" (Tucao: it can become a Japanese transmorphers God), and its livelihood is to design the transformation mechanism from robots to other types (airplanes, cars). Not only do you write a composition on paper, sometimes you make your own trial model and put forward a three-dimensional business plan. Lego bricks are used in the experiment, but it may take several years to complete the design because the relationship between movable parts needs to be carefully examined. When I was a child, my parents bought a building block, Huiyu, which was several times easier than Lego in nature, but I couldn't get it, so I used Lego. This passage is in mechanical instruction (ァマドコァメカニカガィダンソ).

As a creator, he insists on originality, such as "not imitating others" and "not repeating the same pattern". Every work has amazing creativity, but most of the characters are described in a traditional way.

In the fictional mechanical design, planes and cars that exist in reality will be projected into the works as their characteristics. In addition to real machinery, it is also influenced by Thunderbird team. The character of loving airplanes is well known. Some people use the name Bucky of XB-70 supersonic shock wave, and MacrossPlus is a tribute to the realistic film THERIGHTSTUFF.

Ichir? Itano, whose selling point is high-speed mechanical movements (commonly known as Banmustang Opera), actually conducted an air simulation war in pursuit of the realism of the performance.

In the works of Mamoru Oshii, a film director with a deep personal relationship, he provided an empty ship weapon with active performance. In 2006, in the film "Li _ Shi Lie _" produced by Mamoru Oshii, he played as a pseudo-Indian Li _ Shi.

In the MACROSS series, sometimes "_ Heyingji" and "Lily Meiji" are used as pen names.

Other information

Now people mention MACROSS, and the first reaction is basically the three elements mentioned above, but a very important content in the first generation of MACROSS is more or less ignored. In MACROSS, the contact-war-integration between human beings and Jetrati civilization is the main line and core of the whole story. Two different cultures meet unexpectedly in a small corner of the universe, go to war because of different customs, and merge because of the deep soul of the two races. The romance and grandeur of the Great Galactic Age is an important reason why MACROSS was refreshing at the beginning. He Sen hopes to show this point again in 〈MACROSSF〉SF.

"After filming Remember Love, I traveled to China alone. I have been to Inner Mongolia, Yunnan and areas where ethnic minorities gather along the Silk Road, and I have been greatly impacted by culture. At the same time, I began to think that a guy like me, who is making works with the theme of "MACROSS" and "remember love", has suffered such a great cultural shock in neighboring countries. I'm surprised that I am so convinced of the propaganda of China by TV and media and have so many misunderstandings about China. At the same time, I feel that Japan is still locked. These misinformation are obviously intelligence control. So in this mood, I first arranged the plot of Sharon EPP's brainwashing music in MACROSSPLUS, and later the brainwashing technique of Balotea's army was also applied in Macross 7. At the same time, cracking these brainwashing techniques is to use songs belonging to culture. "

Then, we can enjoy the sky-blue timbre VIOCE, which cracked the magic electronic sound of Sharon Epp, and Bassana restored the fighter pilots in Barrotta to the human plot with her bloody and heroic singing. In Hessen's mind, culture is the most effective means to get rid of those improper misunderstandings and conflicts: "So, I first added a lot of misunderstandings to the plot of MACROSSF, and any sentence in the play, or a missed expression, may cause a misunderstood plot. It can be said that this is a work with the theme of misunderstanding. "

In the whole MACROSSF, misunderstandings are diversified, including the misunderstanding between the emotions of the three protagonists and the misunderstanding of the unknown life Vajura. Vajura also has misunderstanding and hostility to non-group creatures like human beings. Conflicts between cultures are also caused by various misunderstandings, but when misunderstandings are eliminated, the two sides in misunderstandings begin to merge with each other, which is the proof of the power of cultural integration. When Jetrati soldiers turned from initial fear and hostility to singing, and finally all became fans of Lin Mingmei, the soldiers turned to the earth camp to jointly fight against the backbone fleet that wanted to destroy the earth civilization, which is the embodiment of this theme. The original Jetrati soldiers were brainwashed by a kind of "fighting weapon", and the brainwashing was eliminated by Lin Mingmei's songs that resounded throughout the galaxy.

"In 『MACROSSF』, Miss yoko kanno and two singers are responsible for brainwashing (laughs). But if the singing goes bad step by step, it will also become a brainwashing tool. After all, songs are more brainwashing culture and more difficult to crack. Therefore, as a' cookie' animation, this must be careful. But it is impossible to break cultural barriers completely. Even if I went to Chinese mainland in person and received such a strong culture, I can't say that I was completely brainwashed. I can only say that singing can eliminate the sense of confrontation as much as possible. Therefore, "『MACROSSF』" tries to express a value that is not absolute and will not be forced to accept. I hope this multi-cultural level can be * * *, not just a simple integration. "

The expression of Hessen's point of view in animation is the confrontation between Grace who tries to establish a unified thinking network system through Vajura and the protagonist. Vajura is a bee-like race, and its individual thinking is controlled by the race queen. The whole race is a whole, and each independent Vajura is actually a complete cell. Grace wants to use Vajura's thought nerve transmission system to make herself the ruler of the Milky Way, so that people's minds are under their control. But in the end, not only human beings can't control this plan, but even Vajura, who uses this nerve transmission system, did it for Grace herself.

Even if Vajura has a unified consciousness, his individual also has his own different thinking. Although he commands the whole race, he still has his own ideas. So at the end of 〈MACROSSF〉SF, although humans and Vajura rely on singers to bridge the gap between them and fight together, they don't accept human values and integrate into human social life like the original Jetrati soldiers. It is the mutual acceptance between human beings and Vajura. The two cultures have eliminated their hostile consciousness, accepted each other, maintained their independence, and sang their own love songs under the same galaxy.

However, there are some flaws in the setting of the role of Gus. He Sen set the role of trying to control human thinking as an artificial semi-robot, which has to be said to be caused by his own cleanliness. Vajura is a pure natural cosmic creature. The character representing the "evil" power has no human body, but has endless human desires, which can be regarded as a reaction of Hessen's obsession with himself. He Sen himself is an extreme naturalist and environmentalist. He tends to advocate natural life and oppose some industrialized civilizations. Even because of this, the audience dubbed him "Qigong Master" (Editor's Note: See the animation "Arjuna, the Girl of the Earth" edited by Chuansen for details). In this work, he told the audience the fallacy of anti-civilization in various simple and rude ways. This behavior of adding one's own consciousness to the film is not commendable, but at least it converges a lot in MacrossZero, so it has little influence on Macross as a whole.

Under such a tone, "『MACROSSF』" has deepened the communication between cultures compared with the original generation, and the influence of culture is no longer just unilateral transmission, but multi-directional reconciliation. The burden of singing is no longer a tool to win your own weapon or brainwash the other side, but a way of communication. Humans and Vajura use their own songs (for example, "Ai Mo" is a courtship song from Vajura) to break the hostile brainwashing effect imposed on them because of incomprehension and fear, and go to the other side of the galaxy together.

From the cultural absorption of "macross" to the cultural existence of "MACROSSF", it is a kind of cultural shock charm, and it can also be said that it is a precipitation and accumulation of Hesse's thought. When people move from high-spirited young people to stable and mature middle age, there may be an ideological nirvana.
