"Today's event A Day in the Home" was released on YouTube Live on April 24, 2020.In a situation where films cannot be made in Corona's evil, this is a 40 -minute middle movie with the theme of an online drinking party.I guess many people have seen it.
There are six performers.This is a work that feels like "now", which includes a drinking party through a video conference system like ZOOM.The biggest feature is that it has a different taste from the conventional "movie".
A very ambitious and unique work, "A Day in the Home".We interviewed Director Isao Soda about the process, the production scenery, the equipment used, and the future of the work, and the future of the work ( * Interview with the brother media "ROOMIE".)
I hope people at home feel like they are next to the drinking party
── Thank you for your cooperation today."Today's event A Day in the Home" with the theme of online drinking parties, how was this idea born?
Director Yukisada: In the Corona evil, the film shooting is stopped by being three dense.But the scriptwriter Chihiro Ito told me, "Can you do something if you make it from zero?"But I was a mechanical noise, and I wondered what I could do.
Probably, the young people of indies are taking self -portraits in their own rooms or editing their friends remotely.For example, "Don't stop the camera!I think Ueda and Takumi Saito are also using online systems.
I don't know that difficult thing, but I knew that I could simply record a drinking party, so I should shoot it in that style.I made it because I thought that a person who was spending alone at home would be like being next to the drinking party, or would be a matter of heart.
I was very saved by looking at the Twitter of Keiichi Suzuki (active in Moon Riders, etc..Keiichi tweeted, "If you are making music, you should make music."That's why I'm tweeting, "I was able to make one song today."
One day, I was uploading a photo saying, "It was fun. Zoom drinking party. With my high school friends."Everyone is all the people of the same age as Keiichi.And everyone is a smile.That's smiling.I saw Keiichi, who had that rock spirit, laughing very happily, so I thought it would be a movie.When I told the staff, "If I make this situation a movie, it's an online drinking party."He was born from there.
──What is the period from the fact that the production is decided to the release?
Director Yukisada: Two weeks.
──It's fast.
Director Yukisada: You decided by meeting when the emergency declaration (April 7) came out.I started from there and came to the public in two weeks.
Kazumi Arimura also set his own personal computer (laughs)
─ It was a real work with the online drinking party as it was, but what kind of equipment did you use?
Director Yukisada: ZOOM.You can record what you are talking about.It is the same as recording using the function.
か Are you not editing?
Director Yukisada: You haven't.
──No editing is amazing.
Director Yukisada: I also make use of all the sounds.What I learned about the sound using Zoom is what kind of computer you use the most important thing.Each PC has characteristics.For example, the sound band is different, or if the face is in front, it is very clear, but if you are a little sideways, it is useless.
The personal computer used by Asaka Watai was clearly difficult to hear depending on the voice of the voice, but if you tell him too much, you will care about it, so if you are difficult to hear, someone can do it.I instructed me to ask (laughs).
── It's already a normal ZOOM conversation.
Director Yukisada: That's right.It's normal.Isn't the image quality different for each person?I think it was relatively good this time.If you do writing, your face will be beautifully reflected, but this time I left it to independence without dare to specify it.
で す ね You only use the equipment that the actor has.
Director Yuki: Yes.Whether the lighting color is light bulb or daylight color, leave it to you.I thought that would have more reality.
After that, they do everything on their own.If you do not know the operation of the personal computer, we will give instructions."Can you raise the sound a little more?" (Laughs).It was interesting.Kazumi Arimura also set his own personal computer (laughs).
Just check if it is reflected properly or whether the volume is OK.Before having a drinking party at a really ZOOM, you say, "It's a bit hard to hear the sound."That's it.
Cuts, light, art, makeup and costumes have stopped all of them.
What was the director doing while shooting?
Director Yuki: I'm just watching.I am participating in that drinking party, but the image is turned off.No instructions have been given during the shooting.You don't have a queue.The only thing I just gave a signal to Kasumi -chan."Please come out soon" (laughs).Well, I knew it, so just in case.
── It's novel (laughs).
Director Yukio: This is not the case with a movie.You want something perfect.But this time, we stopped cutting, light, art, and of course makeup and costumes.Everyone says they do it.
I have been longing for Eric Romer's work for a long time.He was annoying to shoot with a large number of staff in the late half, and he was doing a natural light, with only himself, a female photographer called Caroline Shamptier, and the minimum staff of recording technicians.。After that, I decided to let the actors decide everything from makeup to costumes and make their own characters.
This time it crossed my head a little.It looks interesting.So ask the performers, "I'll leave it to independence."So, I think I thought about where to go background.Some people do the same as when they create a background for shooting or talk to friends.That was really interesting.
After that, there is no cut split.There are about 42 minutes, but since I record it all the time, I have to devise various actors.
Yusuke Emoto is a very movie maniac, but he's a bit of a fueling his face up, searching for a good angle, and making it a bit fantastic.He has no camera split, so he says he wants to show himself and drops himself on his own, and if he wants to pull it (laughs).
More specifically, you can go out of the screen on the way and get alcohol.It's all independent by looking at the opponent's appearance.The actors who can play gathered, and they show their performance (laughs).It feels like you did it.
It looks like a stage.
Director Yukisada: It's close to Etude (a type of improvised drama), but there was a firm script.
Basically almost the script.The part of the movie introduction is ad lib
I was really worried about how far the script was and how far the ad lib was.
Director Yukisada: Basically, it is a script.I talk about a movie on the way, but I wrote in the script that everyone would like everyone to talk about the movie he wants to talk about.
で す ね It's a place where everyone introduces your favorite movies.
Director Yukisada: There is a script until just before that, and it is an ad lib from the line of Asaka -kun's line, "What kind of movie do you like?"Each of them really chooses.It was interesting here.
For example, Kengo Takara is choosing Jarmusch's "Patterson".That is the theme of the compassion of everyday accumulation.Something like everyday richness is messed up at the end and the hero is disappointed.But from there, I'm choosing a part that I have to start again, or a work that makes me feel like that (laughs).
[Director Gyodo's favorite gadget]
A wristwatch "IKEPOD" (Ikbod), a watch that Director Yukisada has been using for many years.He said that he purchased a dead stock.It's the best favorite in watches.IKEPOD is a watch brand founded in 1994 by German businessman Oliver Ik and Austrian designer Mark Newson.Mark is a friend of Jonathan Ive, and it is said that he also participated in the Apple Watch design team, but this IKEPOD was a clock that triggered it, and the design taste that leads to the Apple Watch is felt.increase.
