The big kahuna He and us both

The big kahuna

He and us both must experience the thrill, thinking it might brings the movie a good result. The finished part of e-konte is handed to the animators. Miyazaki checks the all genga and often re-draws them by himself. When Im checking and drawing the lines, little by little I get to understand what the characters are thinking or how they behave! He checks the scene of genga in which Ponyo returns to Sosuke and hug each other. He redraws the genga drawn by the staff to make the action of Ponyo more vivid and dramatic. The true line truly exists somewhere. We must find it. Why dont you start producing after you complete the story? Do you have the clear storyline in your head? Miyazaki says, That doesnt go well either. If I start working on the big kahuna e-konte with a detailed conception, the e-konte never traces the original plan. The plan surely breaks. I can realize where the story should go only while I see the rush film or when Im struggling on checking genga and making e-konte. When making the e-konte reached its final phase Miyazaki s pencil completely stopped moving. He thought the film needed an impressive sequence before ending, even if would not effect anything on the story development. The story has already been the big kahuna in my head. I know how the ending will be, but tracing the story with e-konte isnt good. It lacks Wasabi, tells Miyazaki. In the fall of 2007, his e-konte stopped and didnt proceed for a long time. Every week Miyazaki called the massage service to come by to the studio. Because of the e-konte delay the production department got into some serious trouble. They had a meeting with Miyazaki and asked him to hurry. Miyazaki was driven into a corner After quitting Toei, Miyazaki worked on TV series animation with Takahata. On Heidi, he showed enough of his skills under director Takahata.
