Hello everyone
It is Mr. Kawamori Masaharu of vision creator
I mainly think about the original animation
I direct and supervise
Then I am doing the work of mechanic design
Among them, what I am most concerned with is originality
There are also things truly trained in this school
I am treating originality very much
This time a multidimensional idea method to create originality
I think that you are wondering what is multidimensional
I’d like to talk like that
So what is originality?
If you talk about originality
It’s like contents that will take 1 hour or 2 hours by itself
Broadly speaking, inventive originality
A type that creates new things that did nothing
And the other made use of personality of each person’s own personality
Originality that makes use of personality
I think that two are big
As for my personality
This is 56 years ago when I was born in the mountains of Toyama
It was a village that was said to be the secret of Japan at that time
It was registered as a World Heritage site about 20 years ago
The village reflected here In this neighborhood
I was born a little away where I did not see it for a while
So they grew up to 3 years old
And I will move to Yokohama
Awesome from the mountains back out
I am excited about a steam locomotive that I see for the first time, I have nosebleed, etc.
I’m not going out.
I was supposed to have gone missing and went somewhere.
I went and chased the locomotive and steadily went
I was doing such a thing
Taking a culture shock while a 3 year old child
That culture shock is the starting point of making things inside of me
What I see for the first time I’m surprised and excited to be impressed
I want to tell such excitement I felt that such feelings grew.
First of all, one point in creating that originality
It changes the point of view
Changing viewpoint of things so that they often talk
To change this perspective in my case
It was trained with climbing a tree
Yokohama has a lot of trees as a child
There are many trees in this school
When arriving in 30 years, a tremendous tree grows up and grows
When climbing this tree – I was building a base on a tree
Looking up from the bottom
Friend’s appearance It is usually unfamiliar angle
And climb the tree and look down
Its appearance seen from above the head
I usually live on a two-dimensional plane in many cases
When climbing up a tree and adding three dimensions of height, the world looks different
And when you climb trees there is risk
It may slip
And if you go to the end of this branch, it may break and fall
Because of that little risk
What? Is it primitive instinct?
The instinct is activated when humanity was still a monkey
The view of something really comes to be sharp
I think that such experiences have been cultivated among themselves
So what happens if changing this viewpoint is applied to actual work?
One example
This is really a familiar cellotape stand
It has a very stable shape so as not to move even if pulled
What happens if you turn this stand on the cello tape upside down?
Suddenly will it be unstable?
This way it will be instable like this now –
It feels like floating in the air
So if you make an image like this floating in the air as a motif
For example, I can do this shape
(Cheers)
A familiar cellotape turns into a spaceship
This is one point when changing your point of view
I’ll go on with an example of actual work
[Development of a new leading mechanic replacing humanoid robot]
30 years ago when I was in college second grader
I participated in such a project to make leading role mechanic to turn into a humanoid robot
Because I was starting work while attending college
Most of my sleeping days had been continued
Among them, there were as many humanoid robots as possible
It is not a human being that is not a human being’s leading role Mechanism
If it is a supporting role mechanism, I will manage somehow
It was a project to make a lead role mechanic
I can not do it even if I can not do it quite a year
No matter how troubled I think it will be in a shape I saw somewhere
The rest do not become the lead role
I can not do anything so I went skiing for a change
I went skiing with my friend
So when you are skiing skiing like this you will slide like this
Although it may be a little difficult to see
When you bend your knees and ski your ski
The viewpoint will change at that time
Bent knee shape Mechanism of this form may not exist until now
(Lol)
But if we just bent this knee, we just bent the knees
Let’s change the point of view once again
Reverse front and back
Then you can do a mechanism where the joints turned in the opposite direction?
That is how I came up with that shape
I thought it was done at last
Finally it made a leading role mechanism replacing human type with this
However
When going to sell sponsors
It is said that “I can not sell it because I am not a humanoid”
“I do not need to be a humanoid”
I was disappointed.
But I can not keep myself for being sorry
I worked on a new project
[VF – 1 Valkyrie Development]
Although it becomes the leading role mechanism after the macross series
Well, if you try to make it humanoid but it’s boring if you are just a person’s shape
I thought about making such a mechanism that changed from an airplane to a humanoid robot
And when I was in the third grade of high school when I was a student
I had so many good friends
It is a manga that we collaborated with them
At that time I was in charge of mechanic design and a story though
People drawn here really
After becoming a professional becoming a manga artist and doing various things
Based on the design at this time I am creating this shape
This is still small, but make it even bigger from there
This is what made it the size of a real plane
At this time folding this arm with human hands in front
I was experimenting with such shapes when my head became a cockpit
I was trying to make a mechanism close to an airplane somehow
Reality does not rise easily
When I was doing such a thing again like this
“Airplanes can not be sold” (laugh)
“I’d like you to stop now because there is no chance that an airplane has played a leading role in mecha.”
Why do you think that’s why this happens
But I think that it is a great opportunity when denied
Because they do not do everyone’s denying it
There is a huge opportunity that nobody does it
Because everyone is jumping to do
In such circumstances it is hard to compete
But if you are saying that no one will cease
I guess it’s good
That’s why I tried thinking it was a great opportunity
At that time I was told that the plane can not sell
I decided to bring more of the airplane closer to a more real airplane
And F – 14 Tomcat It is a famous aircraft
I reviewed it again and studied it
Short nose
Even if you folded such an arm a while ago the nose is long
I just could not see it as a real airplane
And this aircraft engine is away
Normally it is closer to the place but the engine is away
When the arms folded into this gap, it flashed
When viewpoint changes, when you see from the bottom “You can fold here”
Thanks to that, it took over an idea that took quite a while
This sketch was drawn first
It’s so clumsy that I’m not good-looking
I will be here until another week there.
Once you have just broken through it is fast afterwards
Just take time to break through
Whether or not I can not give up at that time is a great point
When actually carrying prototype
A toy shop says “Airplanes can not be sold”
Suddenly stood up and said, “Let’s do it”
(Lol)
It is a very happy moment
And made “Super Dimension Fortress Macross”
It is a work when you are in school
I made a story with the original work that I thought jointly with the staffs together
I think that it is possible for mecha people to make original ones by themselves
I thought that I want something epoch-making originality in the story
At that time “change the dimension”
Can you make a solution of an unprecedented type?
That is “war solution not a weapon”
There are various SFs, space wars, some real wars
But basically against war
Solve with the power of superhero solving with force
Basically it is the idea of the same dimension
So it’s not an arsenal against war
Can not approach from a different dimension
So think about a solution that is not a weapon
I arrived here.
“Culture shock by song”
End war with the power of culture
By chance
Because we were setting that enemy aliens had no culture
It came to think of such a story that the opponent was impressed by the power of the song and quit war
Moreover, it is not a brave music but a simple idol song –
Stop the Space War
In this way it made me thinking that others would not do it as expected
And as one methodology when creating original
Combine as much different dimension as possible and deform and transform
For example, in many SF works
Recently when you are stuck in an idea
High technology and mythology
A story that combines awesome old things and awesome new things
This is made a lot
And, for example,
Telephone, computer, TV monitor and camera are united
And it surpasses each function far
It is about to change the lifestyle
I give impact to society
So if you could make a completely different combination even if you had it so far
The possibility that a new thing is born is hidden
At such time, “feeling power” on making things
“The power to create questions” is tremendously important
It does not start to nothing to watch and see anything
Then to create a question
This is for questions asked by someone
It does not mean to answer the question
Test problem If the teacher were thinking
The teacher knows the answer
When playing games
If there is a strategy book
I know how the person who made the game can solve it
Whatever answers to what someone knows the answer
Originality will never be born there
Where there is still no problem From where I think that the problem does not exist
Find a mystery and find a strange thing
I wonder if there is something wrong with it
That’s why I think that “the power to create questions” is very important
There is one methodology to cultivate the ability to create that question
“Change the standing point”
I told that I changed my point of view as I was here
That’s how we change the way we look at things
But changing standing points is a little different
I am talking as a speaker here now
I step down this stage and sit in this seat and listen as audience
It was very fun to listen until a while ago
Your story was very exciting
Changing the position all the way to a position that is not your usual
This is to change the standing point
Keeping my usual self as training actors
Thinking about various things and thinking that it will move like this Type of play
On the contrary it can be done without thinking about anything already becoming useful
It would be better for you to become a part of that role
I think that it is close to the sense of changing this base point
For example, leaving Japan
I go to a country completely different from Japan’s values
Not only to be confused but to be puzzled not to deny the values there
I try to feel like I was a person in that country
For example, this is my simple story
When I went to India
You eat curry by hand when you eat it
Mix by hand with sticky
At first I feel a little disgusting
As I get used to it for a while, I get to know the taste
At the moment I touched it, “Ah, this is a bit billy.
This is good today, is not it good? “
At that time I noticed that my hand was an amazing sensor
It reminds me of the feeling I had forgotten
Just get out of your usual way like that
I will experience what has changed
For example, understanding different cultures
I understand others and it will be like that
By changing my way of thinking usually
How to view new things New ideas are easier to be born
This is to the students of the ordinary department which my graduate school is from
Changing this point of view
It is a sight that is doing workshop of multidimensional thinking method
Do you understand this?
Everyone is in a tree
It’s a tree.
They become trees
What would you feel if you were a wood, not a man?
How do you see the world?
Frequently said environmental problems
Rather than seeing the environment from a human standpoint
If I were a tree being cut down
What would you feel if you were an animal deprived of your residence?
When that happens it’s not an environmental problem
It turns into my own problem
If I could change the pedestal in that way
Various New Ideas Is not it that new ways of life will be born?
[Let’s take a step from the frame of common sense]
Everyday life that really lives all the time
Take one step from here
I do not need money and I do not need any device
If you have your own body and your own heart
Instead, courage to leave your usual life for a moment
It will be necessary
It is denied from people
It may be said that such a funny thing
It may be said that you can not read the air
However, when you take a step even slightly from there
A new world is spreading
Everyone creates their own originality
I will relate to the world
I sincerely hope that such a time will come.
Thank you very much today
(applause)
