Participated in EF prequel and two-part films and PS2 films; event records retain explanations of camera organization and collaboration.
The visual focus of the first part of the OP
Dengeki Shinkai produced two PC and PS2 films. The opening of the 2007 activity record first part focused on three key points: paper airplanes, rooftop surround shots, and paper turning into feathers; Source: Live interviews compiled by the audience.
Background range and drawing collaboration
In the same documentary, Sakai requested a rising shot to expand the background range, and Shinkai discussed the production burden; He also discussed tsukune's 3D modeling and the frame-by-frame movement of small figures in rooftop distant shots, illustrating that the camera effect is formed through different collaborations.
2006 Prequel: Storyboard organized from the theme song
When Shinkai reviewed the previous film, he explained that the intense tension of the theme song drove him to create more ornate storyboards, which the production team then recreated.
2006 Prequel: Scheduling overlaps with theatrical films
The production of the previous film overlapped with the closing phase of "5 Centimeters per Second," and Shinkai described the heavy workload at the time. He recalled that by then the usual professional division of labor had been adopted, with different members handling painting, art, and 3D visuals.
2008 Part 2: Storyboarding, Cinematography, and London Delivery
In the latter part of the film, Shinkai sketches the storyboards at the beginning and completes filming, with the team responsible for the actual visuals. During his work, he was in London and the network transmission was inconvenient. Minori staff eventually took the hard drive to retrieve the data locally.
