Chapter 251: Extravagant

Conference Room 1-A, Tokyo Animation Studios.

"How about the designs of the background, characters, and others? Show me what you guys got?" Theo asked suddenly as he looked at the animators from the art department.

Even though Theo had given them the most important designs, he left the designs of the secondary characters and backgrounds to his employees.

These secondary designs took time to complete as they involved many things like designs of monsters, cities, clothes, forests, and others.

If Theo did that alone it would take months for him to complete, even with his enhanced physique and intellect, but if he gave the task to his employees, they would be able to speed up the production, and Theo hired these animators exactly for that.

To facilitate his life, if he didn't use their expertise, he would be throwing out money down the drain.

"Boss, we have finished designing half of the monsters. We already passed these designs to the in-between and keyframe departments." Brianna replied with a confident voice.

Her team was the one responsible for designing the monsters' visuals, so she knew what she was talking about.

They had to speed up these designs productions because the in-between and keyframe departments needed these designs to draw the frames, without them, they wouldn't be able to produce the anime.

"Boss, we finished the background designs of the first three episodes. We already passed to the in-between and keyframe departments. We are currently working on the designs for the fourth episode." Bruno chimed in when Brianna finished talking.

The background design department could be seen as one of the most important departments in anime production.

Without a pleasant and nicely drawn background, the audience would feel that the characters were misplaced in the scene.

Especially for an anime like the [Sword Art Online] Anime.

As a virtual reality game genre anime, the background department had to produce amazing sights that the normal world couldn't give.

But they were lucky because of Theo's designs for the Aircrad (SAO Virtual World), they were able to progress much faster, they just needed to supplement some things.

The job that would take months for them to complete only took them less than a month to complete, but the extra number of background designers also helped to accelerate the procedures.

They just needed to follow Theo's designs and they would be able to finish these background designs in time.

Theo nodded and asked them a few questions.

He paid extra attention to the art department because they were the creative brain of his studio, they were responsible for the visuals of his animes.

Even though their work was a little diminished because Theo would design the principal features of the animes, their work was still important because they would design the secondary features.

As it was said before, the visuals of the secondary design took more time to complete than the principal visuals, that's why Theo designed the most important visuals and left the rest for them.

It may seem like their work was not important, but they were extremely essential as they would have to understand and follow designs and implement their own views based on his designs.

It was a delicate and complicated job.

Especially because Theo planned to start the production of a Studio Ghibli movie next year.

Studio Ghibli movies had amazing visuals, they were beautiful animations that depended heavily on the art department.

Theo wouldn't be able to design everything in the movie, so he would need talented art designers to help him.

That's why he paid extra attention to the art department as he inquired them.

Theo asked about their styles, their issues, their opinions, and many other things.

Just by his questions, the team leaders were able to notice that he was extremely knowledgeable in art and designs.

He seemed like a veteran animator, but that was not possible because he seemed so young!

They could only sigh in admiration as they observed their boss.

Soon after, it was the composition department's turn to be inquired by Theo.

This department was extremely important because they were the ones who transformed the frames drawn by the in-between and keyframe departments into an animation.

They were the ones who brought the anime into life, they were also the ones with the most potential to become animation directors.

That was because they were the ones who 'filmed' the scenes, so they needed directing skills to do their job.

"Boss, we only filmed one episode. It's ready to be edited and added to the voiceovers and sound effects. We are currently working on the second episode, we predict that we will be able to finish it next week." Aidan replied when Theo asked.

Differently from other departments that were divided into several teams working on different things, the composition department teams worked together to 'film' the scenes.

That's why Aidan became the symbolic 'leader' of the composition department, as the only one who was able to earn the supervisor job, the other animators of the department saw how talented he was, so they accepted his instructions.

That's why they were able to finish their task so quickly.

That's right!

Finishing 2 episodes in a month were extremely fast because their work was extremely complicated.

They had to pay attention to so many things as they put together their frames, so it was normal for them to finish 2 episodes while the others were already working on the third episode.

Theo let out a happy smile when he heard Aidan's explanation, he was satisfied with the man, Theo could see that Aidan would become an exceptional animation director someday.

Theo asked them some other questions just like he did with the other departments.

Soon after, it was the Sound Studio Department.

There were only 3 team leaders from this department.

Emina, Kanai, and Oichi.

The three of them had only been in the studio for weeks, but they have already become friends with everyone.

It was the first time that Theo was seeing them since they were hired, so the three of them were a little nervous as the silver-haired man looked at them with interest.

"I assume you three are the new people, right? My name is Theodore Gray, I'm the Animation Director of the [Sword Art Online] Anime." Theo introduced himself as he smiled at the three of them.

"Nice to meet you, boss. My name is Kido Emina, and I'm a sound engineer."

"My name is Isaki Oichi, and I'm also a sound engineer."

"My name is Isaki Kanai, and I'm also a sound engineer."

The three of them introduced themselves to the handsome silver-haired man.

"How's work since you guys arrived?" Theo asked calmly as he looked at them.

"Boss, we already finished producing the sound effects for two episodes. But the thing is that we will need the voiceovers from the voice actors and the soundtrack to properly finish the sound effects." Kanai explained.

Theo nodded when he heard that, he already expected an answer like that.

"You don't have to worry about the voice actors. I don't know if Ryoko told you guys, but we are opening a Branch Studio in Sakura City to work with the voice actors from there. This branch studio will be responsible for recording the voiceovers of the voice actors." Theo explained with a light smile.

The animators were a little shocked when they heard that.

They wouldn't even imagine that the studio would suddenly open a branch studio in Sakura City.

And the most amazing thing was that this branch studio would only work with the voice actors!

How extravagant was that?
