ʻO Thomas Pool: No nā makahiki he 25 i hala iho nei, aia ʻo Cartoon Saloon ma ke alo o ka animation Irish. Koho ʻia no kekahi mau Oscars® a me Golden Globes®, a me ke kiʻi ʻana i nā lanakila BAFTA® a me Emmy®, ua lawe mai kāu studio i ka animation Irish i ka poʻe hoʻolohe a puni ka honua. Hiki iā ʻoe ke alakaʻi iā mākou ma kāu moʻolelo, kāu misionari, a ma hea ʻoe e hele ai?
Nora Twomey: I ka hui ʻana i ke aʻo ʻana i ka animation ma ke Kulanui ʻo Ballyfermot i ka makahiki 1990, he ʻumikūmālua o mākou nā animators i hoʻolalelale maoli ma ke ʻano he mea hana, a makemake lākou e huki pū a hana i nā moʻolelo no ka pale. ʻAʻole mākou i makemake e neʻe aku, e like me ka nui o kā mākou mau hoa hana i kēlā manawa, akā ʻaʻole nui nā manawa kūpono no ka hana ma ʻIlelani – ʻoiai aia kekahi mau hui hoʻoliʻoli nui ma Dublin, e like me Brown. ʻeke a me ka Monster.
Ua pili ʻo Tomm Moore me kahi hui ʻōpio nui ma Kilkenny i kapa ʻia ʻo Young Irish Filmmakers (YIFM) a ʻo ia, me Aidan Harte (ʻo ia ka mea i lilo i mea kālai a mahalo nui ʻia) he manaʻo no kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni e pili ana i ka hana ʻana o The Buke o Kells. Ma hope o ko mākou puka ʻana mai ke kulanui, ua hoʻomaka mākou ma ka hale o YIFM me kahi haʻawina FAS liʻiliʻi a lākou i noi ai no mākou, hoʻokahi kamepiula a me kekahi mau papa hana animation, i kūʻai ʻia mai kahi studio e pani ana ma Dublin. Ua aʻo ʻo Tomm, Paul Young, a me ka hui holoʻokoʻa i nā mea a pau e pili ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kahi ʻoihana a me ka hana ʻana i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ma ke ala paʻakikī, akā ʻo ko mākou makemake i ke kaha kiʻi, ka hoʻoulu ʻana a me ka haʻi moʻolelo e mau nō ia e like me ko mākou noho ʻana ma kēlā mau ʻanuʻu mua o ke Kulanui ʻo Ballyfermot ma ke kula. waena o 90s, kaʻana like ʻana i nā puke sketchbook a me nā manaʻo.
Ua ʻike ʻo Cartoon Saloon i kekahi mau manawa paʻakikī a me nā kūleʻa nui. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana iā mākou iho ma waena o ka ʻoihana a me nā hana noʻeau he mea liʻiliʻi a emi iki ka pilikia i ka hala ʻana o nā makahiki a ua hiki iā mākou ke hoʻonui e hoʻokomo i kahi hui nui i loko o ke keena, alakaʻi ʻia e kā mākou luna hoʻokele Gerry Shirren, ʻo Catherine Roycroft ko mākou Luna Nui ʻOihana, a ʻo Katja Schumann ko mākou Poʻo o ka Hana Hana, a me nā poʻo he nui o nā keʻena e hana pū ana e kōkua iā mākou a pau e loaʻa kā mākou hana maikaʻi loa ma ka pale.
Manaʻo mākou e hana i nā moʻolelo wiwo ʻole, i haʻi maikaʻi ʻia. Hoʻopili kēia mau moʻolelo me nā mea hoʻolohe a puni ka honua. ʻO ke ʻano o ka ʻike i loko o ka ʻoihana, ʻo ia ka mea hiki iā mākou ke ʻimi i nā ala e hoʻonui ai i ka ʻike o kā mākou poʻe pā, no ka laʻana, ma ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi pāʻani hoʻohui maikaʻi ʻia o 'Baba Puffin' mai ka moʻo kula preschool kaulana. Pohaku Puffin, no laila hiki i nā keiki liʻiliʻi ke hoʻomau i kā lākou pilina me kā mākou mau mea ma ka home me ka ʻole o ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ke kaiapuni, a i ʻole ma ka ʻimi ʻana i ka hui pū ʻana me AppleTV+ a me Netflix, i hiki i nā poʻe he nui a puni ka honua ke hauʻoli i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni e like me Nā Wolfwalkers a E Nihi Ka Makua.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke wehewehe i kekahi o nā kikoʻī paʻakikī o ke kaʻina hana? He aha ka mea e hana ai i kāu mau animation - mai ka manaʻo a i ka mua?
He lōʻihi loa ka hana ʻana o ka Animation, akā, ʻoi aku ka manawa o nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ma mua o ka hana ola - ʻoi aku ka 2D animation, kahi i ʻike ʻole ʻia ai ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻenehana, no laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻololi kikohoʻe i ka manawa o kahi. ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni 3D akā ua ʻelemakule, ʻaʻole maopopo. Loaʻa nā ʻano hana ʻē aʻe i nā studio like ʻole, e hilinaʻi ana inā he loea lākou i ka 3D, Cut-Out, Stop Motion, a i ʻole kekahi helu o nā ʻano hui like ʻole, akā ʻo Cartoon Saloon ka mea hana mua i ka 2D, huki lima lima.
Hoʻohana maʻamau mākou ma waena o ʻeono mahina a hiki i hoʻokahi makahiki ma kahi papa kiʻiʻoniʻoni hiʻona, hana hou i ka moʻolelo no ʻelima mau kiʻi kiʻi e hōʻoia i ka maikaʻi e like me ka hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa, e kono ana i nā memo a me nā manaʻo mai kahi pūʻulu o nā loea moʻolelo i koho ʻia e hana. i mea koa a nani. ʻO ke kālā kālā i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni hiki ke lawe i ka manawa nui; ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i nā mea hana pū a me nā hoa kālā hiki ke lawe i nā makahiki. Aia nā mākeke kikoʻī no ka hoʻolilo kālā ʻana a puni ka honua kahi nui o nā mea hana e hele ai e hana i nā pilina a loaʻa nā kiʻi kiʻi i ka hana.
Inā hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo piha o kēlā screenplay no ka hana ʻana, e hana ka hui papa moʻolelo ma lalo o ke alakaʻi a ke Poʻo o ka Moʻolelo a me ka Luna Hoʻokele e nānā i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni holoʻokoʻa. Eia hou, e hana mākou i kekahi mau mana o ka papa moʻolelo, e like me ka pinepine, nā pilikia moʻolelo a me nā hoʻonā e hōʻike iā lākou iho i ka papa moʻolelo a me nā pae hoʻoponopono. Ma nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni animated, hana ʻia ka hoʻoponopono ma mua o ka animation, no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke pana i ka 'coverage' e like me kāu e hana nei ma ka hana ola, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ke kumukūʻai. Ma ka animation e koho ʻoe i kāu hoʻokani pila ma ka papa moʻolelo a hoʻopaʻa iā ia i ka pau ʻana o ka animatic (ka papa moʻolelo i hoʻoponopono ʻia i kiʻiʻoniʻoni moʻolelo).
Hoʻopaʻa mākou i nā mea leo leo ma ke kahua papa moʻolelo, akā no nā mana mua o ka papa moʻolelo, hana mākou i kahi leo leo manawaleʻa me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hana leo o kā mākou hui ma ke ʻano he manawa pōkole, ʻoiai mākou e hoʻololi nui i nā laina o ke kamaʻilio ma ke kahua papa moʻolelo. A laila, komo i loko o kekahi mau papa hoʻomākaukau e alakaʻi ana i ka animation: ka pena kaiapuni (ʻo ia hoʻi ka hui pū ʻana o nā media kuʻuna a me nā kikohoʻe), FX animation, ka haku ʻana i ka animation a me nā kaiapuni i hui pū ʻia, rendering, a laila mākaukau nā papa.
I ka manawa like me nā pae hope loa, ke hana nei nā Sound Editors a Designers i ka Foley a me nā hopena kani, e hana pū ana me ka haku mele helu e hana i kahi aural-scape e kūpono i nā kiʻi. Hoʻohui ʻia ke kani, hoʻopaʻa ʻia ke kiʻi, a laila hoʻomaka ka ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa o ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ʻo ia kahi hana ʻē aʻe a pono e hoʻolālā maikaʻi ʻia e hōʻoia e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke kiʻi a ʻike ʻia ma ke ala maikaʻi loa me nā kumuwaiwai. i loaʻa iā mākou a me kā mākou mau hoa.
Hana ʻoe me nā mea kūʻai aku hanohano, e like me Netflix a me Disney (ma ka mea hou Nā Hōʻike Hōʻailona Hōkū series) a me kekahi hui Kilkenny-based, Lighthouse Studios (ma ka Kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻo Bob's Burgers). Pehea e kaulike ai ʻo Cartoon Saloon i kēia mau papahana me kāu mau hana mua? Ke ʻike nei ʻoe i ka Cartoon Saloon e mālama nei i kēia kaulike i ka wā e hiki mai ana, a i ʻole ka hoʻonohonoho mua ʻana i kekahi ma mua o kekahi?
Ke hana kūʻokoʻa nei ʻo Cartoon Saloon a me Lighthouse Studios e pili ana i nā papahana a mākou e hana ai, akā ke hana like nei mākou a kaʻana like i ka ʻike i ka wā e hoʻāʻo ai e mālama i ka palekana hana o ka animator, no ka mea, pili ka ʻoihana animation i ka ebb a kahe e like me nā ʻāpana āpau. Ke hoʻāʻo maoli nei mākou e hoʻolako i ka hana no ka poʻe e koho e hele mai e hana ma Kilkenny. Aia i kēia manawa kekahi mau lumi liʻiliʻi ma Kilkenny, e like me Distillery Films, a me ka nui o nā poʻe manuahi e hana ana mai ka home no nā studio honua a me ka ʻāina.
Ma Cartoon Saloon, ua hoʻāʻo mau mākou e mālama i ke kaulike ma waena o ka hana i loaʻa iā mākou a i ʻole mālama ʻole IP, a me kā mākou mau papahana i hoʻokumu ʻia i loko o nā studio a mākou i hoʻokele ai i ke kālā kālā me nā hoa a puni ka honua. Hāʻawi nā ʻano hana ʻelua iā mākou i nā manawa a me ke aʻo ʻana, a ʻoi aku ka nui o kā mākou hoʻokumu ʻana iā mākou iho ma ke ʻano he hoʻolālā a me ka ikaika moʻolelo, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā hoa hele mai i Cartoon Saloon e hana i kā mākou hana maikaʻi loa, no kā mākou ʻano ʻokoʻa a ʻaʻole e e ho'āʻo e hoʻolilo iā mākou i mea ʻē aʻe. Ua hauʻoli wau i kēlā, no ka mea, no nā makahiki mua, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka wā e hana ana mākou i nā pāʻoihana no nā keʻena hoʻolaha, ua noi ʻia mākou e hana i nā ʻano o ka hoʻolālā ʻana a me nā hāmeʻa i kūpono ʻole i ko mākou mau manaʻo. ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana i loaʻa iā mākou me YIFM, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole mākou i lalo o ka paʻakikī e ʻae i kekahi hana e hele mai ana no ka mea he haʻahaʻa loa kā mākou overheads, a ua ʻae iā mākou e hoʻokumu i kā mākou leo noʻeau me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni pōkole a laila kā mākou kiʻiʻoniʻoni mua.
Pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai i ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana animation ma Ireland i nā makahiki he ʻumi e hiki mai ana?
He mea maikaʻi loa ka ʻike ʻana i kahi ʻoihana ikaika ma ʻIlelani e pili ana i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni, series, nā pāʻani, a me nā ʻenehana hoʻomohala hou. ʻO nā hoʻopukapuka kālā i hana ʻia e ke aupuni ma o ka pauku 481 incentives, Screen Ireland, Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) a me IDA Ireland, a me Enterprise Ireland i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana a me nā kākoʻo hoʻopukapuka kālā, ua uku ʻia nā mea āpau i kahi limahana hoʻomau, mākaukau loa a noʻonoʻo i mua. . Hoʻohana nui ʻia ka huaʻōlelo 'punching ma luna o ko mākou kaumaha' me ka hana ola a me nā kūleʻa animation no nā talena i hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ʻo Irish, e hōʻike ana i kahi ʻāina nona ka heluna hapa o ka nui o ka hapa nui o nā kūlanakauhale nui o ka honua.
Aia kahi hui kūʻokoʻa o ko mākou wahi ma ka lihi o ʻEulopa, ko mākou ʻike honua, ko mākou pilina i kā mākou moʻomeheu ponoʻī a me nā moʻomeheu a puni ka honua - kahi mākou i hoʻouna aku ai i kā mākou ʻōpio a hoʻomau i ka hoʻouna ʻana iā lākou i ke kumukūʻai o ka pilikia ola. Hoʻohui kēia i ka moʻolelo o ka hoʻokumu ʻana a me ka empathy Irish aʻu i manaʻo ai he maikaʻi maoli. I mua o nā pilikia a me nā manawa kūpono e hōʻike ʻia me Artificial Intelligence (AI), ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, he liʻiliʻi koʻu hiki ke wānana i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka ʻoihana e like me ka mea e hiki mai ana, akā he mea hoihoi ia, ʻoiaʻiʻo.
ʻO Nora Twomey he mea hoʻokumu a me ka Luna Hoʻokele o Cartoon Saloon a he Luna Hoʻokele Koho ʻia ʻo Academy Award®.
