Aymeric Kevin.
Art background, as the name suggests, tend not to be the center of attention in the discussion of the animation, but often provides a wonderful work of talented artists. Labyrinthos Labyrinth (1987 monastery. Rintaro) will not be the same without art Yamako Ishikawa. Helped Expressionist art Shichiro Kobayashi determine the programs he worked in the 1970s as a target for ACE! Adventure and Gamba., And the same can be said about the, "Ping Pong state of the art back from Tokyo French Aymeric Kevin, who led the work in the past presented on the Cartoon Brew. contribution for the show by Masaaki Yuasa, worked Aymeric pace cumbersome, however, and produced many beautiful images that define helped the show while he was working on a completely different style from what it was like I had done it Aymeric and his team used in many quality circles short program.? Aymeric was nice enough to some of my questions via e-mail to highlight the art of answering tennis background.
Cartoon Brew: What made you interested in animation?
Aymeric Kevin: Japanese anime. As was with many, began as a hypnotic with this type of Shonen installed. Anime has a large presence in France shows in the 1990s, such as Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, City Hunter, Fist of the North Star, and there are many programs that are broadcast on television at the time. Later, the spirit Masaaki Yuasa game and Hayao Miyazaki Princess Mononoke me is gone and to this day still my favorite films. It was during high school when I was really intrigued in the process of animation through the production of videos, to see the world from many dedicated people who work together, sweating offices to which crunched on a single mission. This gave me the desire to work in this industry. I spend hours re-watching the documentary, I Mononoke (Mononoke Ethiopians Amrita Wa him) was it born, For those who have not seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
Cartoon Brew: Gobelins has a good reputation for the production of films outstanding students. What distinguishes them from sprites and what you learned there?
Aymeric Kevin: The pace here is fast if they believed in the school in the walls of the growth rate to accelerate. The truth is, they usually choose the ones to start with strong drawing skills, and perhaps this is the reason why the pace is not sustainable. Sprites want to remind people that they do not know how to draw, learn to activate. However, they offer a very comprehensive course where the students in each step of the animation production. You know that all the steps and processes that will help you better decisions you end up making animation.
What I learned most of which began as an investigation into the first entrance exam. I was in a large room with rows of tables, but most importantly, the lines are full of hundreds of candidates. War
Clear: There are many drawers. This emulation is this competition still strong and vigilant reality over the years Gobelins. Whether good or bad, it is definitely pushes them to do their best at all times.

Cartoon Brew: How did you come to work in the field of Japanese animation industry?
Aymeric Kevin: at the end of the work of two and a half years in France, I had the opportunity to work in production, French / Japanese where I Eunyoung Choi, Episode Director / animation to such incredible Komonozume, Kaiba, Tatami Galaxy, etc. to show. Since the first concert work, she was my guardian angel in this industry. Offers to animated short Masaaki Yuasa money, Coup de Coeur was making in the production of IG be a dream come true. I left it all behind, prevent my life in France and flew to Japan. But none of this would have happened without my wife Yoko, they supported me as much as it is possible that the movement in Japan is not an easy process.
Kevin called real places where there is the history of the place, including Japanese schools and the National Centre for table tennis training. (Click to enlarge).
Cartoon Brew: You recently shot the impressive performance of drawing all the art in a new episode of Space Dundee How many pictures exist and if it does not take so on, what you need to do was.?
Aymeric Kevin: Episode 340 cuts Eunyoung Choi, which is a bit more than usual, and the average for the Japanese TV is 250 cups. Gobelins well, I've heard of Michio Mihara guide and move the entire episode Kaiba himself. I think that with the production of the entire stadium alone is very cool, and it has inspired me to do the same day. I thought it must feel like a baseball home run, felt satisfaction is very strong, with such a performance. Was the first opportunity for me to do something about short kick-heart, yes, and then the idea came naturally to the space of Dundee No. 9
Eunyoung Choi Shinichiro Watanabe and accepted immediately because we had time on our hands and fight Japanese studios currently the background to find staff. It took four and a half months to complete, dedicated with a little time to work in parallel adventures episode Masaaki Yuasa in time. This method allows you to feel the art to a uniform level, sometimes to keep a challenge in managing a large team. But the "home run" accident is not often to tight deadlines come Animation, especially in Japan. Ping Pong example, we only have one week to do a complete loop.
Cartoon Brew: one week? Is this true or just animation and media?
Aymeric Kevin: Only backgrounds. To edit the entire animation, calendars can vary from episode between two to three weeks. It includes Genzu (Planning) Genga (key animation) Nigen (second key animation) Sakkan (right model / animation) and Douga (between), which means that the speed is incredibly fast.
Cartoon Brew: Do Yuasa program loop in a week?
Aymeric Kevin: Yes.
Cartoon Brew: So it would be more typical, the calendar as representing Dandy space?
Aymeric Kevin: the area of Dundee are the rings in advance. In a few episodes I've worked the timing between three to four months may vary. Although it is more convenient and animation teams usually smaller, at least until there is a very dangerous time. But this is not typical. Completion of Japanese anime episodes almost before they are broadcast on TV, and what I saw, and times vary from one month to three months.
This piece was made to show the personal background of the drawing and painting of buildings and the level of detail required on the basis of different distances. (Click to enlarge).
Cartoon Brew: Before tennis, you're kicking back in the heart of the artist Masaaki Yuasa What is it like to work with Masaaki Yuasa.?
Aymeric Kevin testified that he is working on a daily basis an incredible experience every day and I feel really lucky. As a fan, it is a magical feeling! He said he does not know, but I feel that I have secret apprentice. I am happy and I try to study everything he does. It is a model for me. At one point, he ran on time adventure, Dundee and tennis field at once. The average person has melted under the pressure and fatigue, but he seemed very quiet, even though he told me that he slept one night 30 minutes in this period.
Cartoon Brew: What are your impressions of the unique artistic style of Taiyo Matsumoto, what is your approach to the art of table tennis?
Aymeric Kevin: I do not know why, but it's hard for me to compose certain ideas such as the art of Taiyo Matsumoto. Its essence is beyond anything conceivable in theory, so I can only think of one word: freedom. Each of these frames look unique. For many artists, it may be the ultimate goal, I think. In order to do be able to create, so be instinctively as breathing air. I am sure that it will not be easy for him. But that's how it feels enjoys his work. With tennis circles, and I am determined not to disobey him and the work Yuasa San vision.
Use common, but Kevin Aymeric you create a script for dyeing short "shock heart" that the director Masaaki Yuasa useful no scripts Colors in Japanese animation. This led Kevin, a script of color for each episode of creating "ping-pong". (Click to enlarge).
Cartoon Brew: Can you guide us through the production process to the background image in table tennis?
Aymeric Kevin: Tennis Fund, use the pencil line and digital color. Today it is more common to see media Photoshop exactly executed as it is much faster, but in our case it is very difficult, shakes on the shelf for hybrid dynamic lines Matsumoto still controlled. Thus, the arrangement of the mediator, I have to draw a line on the paper and the style of writing. It took months to get a very good line, because it's not my specialty, and I am very grateful, San Yuasa and Eunyoung Choi to share their advice. Plate, I made a script that color per episode, I refer to them and drag a background in Photoshop. We use a number of special brushes, particularly scanned from the actual brush strokes. Therefore, it is sometimes like traditional paintings look like is important to stay true to the organic touches that we feel in Matsumoto manga. My role is to make the 25 to 30 most important settings for each loop, until I try to take out of the ground not more than 3 hours, so I do at least five a day. And spends the rest of the time with the team at the bottom, so that the times.
