This is not the same as a script. Japanese TV animation is usually adapted from comics, novels or games. Comic writers and animators are usually different (there are exceptions, such as some works by Miyazaki Hayao, and Genax often makes original animations by himself), so the word "original" comes into being. Refers to the author of the original comic book/novel. For example, the original work of cowboy BEBOP is Hajime Yatate.

*OVA
First of all, explain what OVA is.
OVA = original video animation = original animation video tape.
OVA occupies a very important position in the history of Japanese animation, and she can often be seen in various animation files. A work that can be regarded as OVA can only be called OVA if it has not been shown on TV or theater when it was first introduced. When a work that has been shown on TV or theater is reissued, video tape /LD/VCD, etc. It cann't be OVA The "V" in OVA also refers to all video/LD/VCD/DVD media, not just video.
theater edition
What is a theatrical version (animation)? It's called the first animation publicly shown in the cinema. The production cost, investment and manpower of this kind of works are higher than those of OVA and TV animation, and the more luxurious the painter, the better. No matter in the fluency of movements or in the number of separations used, the difference between them can be clearly seen. Usually, a theatrical animation is 90 minutes, but it is not certain, and there is a big difference. Nowadays, as long as it is a popular TV animation, there is usually a corresponding theatrical version, but the theatrical version is usually different from the original TV version in terms of stories and characters. For example, the theatrical versions of "Girl Revolution" and "Time and Space Fortress" only retain the main lines of the original stories and characters.
* Original painting
The original painting is to draw the starting and ending pictures or still pictures of the characters in the picture on paper in the form of line draft. Shadows and horizontal lines of color separation are also drawn in this step. Therefore, some people translate it into "Key-Animetor" or "Illustrator" (less used).
* Animation
The work of drawing every action in the original painting on paper at intervals specified by the mirror table. Finally, these lines are photocopied on celluloid sheets, and then the coloring operation can be carried out. Some people also translate it as "assistant animator" and "in between".
* paint supervision
What is the job of an animation director (key animation director)?
Modify the finished product of the original painting and animation to see whether the face of the character conforms to the character setting, whether the movement is smooth and so on. You must be able to repaint when necessary, so you must be a senior original painter and animator.
* Role assignment
The task of assigning colors is called "color setting", which has different names. In English, there are color setting, color modeling, color designer, color coordinator, color key ... In addition to specifying things like "clothes should be red, pants should be black", it is more important to specify the shadows and gradient colors needed for celluloid painting, which is XXX pigment.
* Shishang
In Japanese, the original meaning is to complete and complete the manuscript, Chinese means painting, and English means painting and completion. Draw the reverse side of the celluloid piece according to the pigment number marked in each piece.
:: Sound supervision
What is the job of the audio director?
Responsible for the arrangement of the soundtrack, the preparation of the effect sound, the dubbing recording, the supervision of the mixing project and so on.
* Producer
The job of a producer.
The producer's job is mainly to plan the production schedule, arrange the daily production schedule, find the production company of the production team and win over foreign investors. At the same time, he must cooperate with the executive producer to ensure that every component of the plan can be completed on time and correctly.
* Supervision
"Supervision" is actually written in Japanese, and English is Director, which is a common director in Chinese. The director of Japanese animation production is the key to determine the atmosphere style of the whole work, and is in charge of the rhythm of the story, the turning point of the atmosphere and so on. Even the same role setting, the same painting style and the same production team will have completely different styles because of different directors.
* role setting
The person in charge of designing the appearance of the character is called "character setting". His job is not only to let the subsequent painters know what the person to be painted looks like, but also to tell them the facial features, eyes and expressions of the character, so as to design the face of the same character from several different angles and a clear sea with closed lines different from ordinary cartoons. The design of robots, vehicles and weapons responsible for appearance are all "mechanical settings". In addition to drawing the shape of the machine, it is also necessary to mark the possible detailed structure, movement mode, openable place and so on. Unless otherwise specified, design drafts are generally clean line drafts without shadows.
* Sinario
That is, scenario in English, which means script. Write stories in pure words, including scenes, places, background sound effects, character dialogues, character movements, etc.
* Split mirror table
English is a continuous font, while Chinese is something called "split mirror table". The homework in this step is the first step to truly transform the things on the paper into the pictures to be presented in the future. The person who draws the mirror table turns them into pictures in his mind according to the instructions of the script, and then draws them on paper. The purpose of drawing a mirror-dividing table is to decompose the continuous actions in the animation into units of 1 cut (1 mirror-dividing), and mark the way of moving the mirror, dialogue, special effects and so on beside it. The most important time, number of sheets, etc. It will also be written on the far right side of the stage.
* Layout
"Layout" is a relatively rare job, which is close to Chinese "composition" in nature. It can only be used in some dramatic works, such as designing multi-level backgrounds, so that each layer of background moves at different speeds, which can show a realistic sense of distance. The person who draws the layout must be aware of the existence of the camera in his mind, look at the grass and trees in the scene from the camera's point of view, and then draw these pictures in detail. There will be this job, mainly to make up for the mirror table painted by directors who are not good at painting, and to carefully present the messy and simple pictures as the basis of the original painting, animation, background, color designation and so on. Works in Mamoru Oshii, such as Machine Story Police Theater Edition, Machine Story Police Theater Edition 2, Ghost in the Eggshell, etc. , are examples of extensive use of layout, characterized by "2D painting can also accurately express 3D visual effects".
* Performance
Japanese "performance" is a unique title in Japanese animation production. To put it simply, he is an assistant director, and his role in TV series is different from that in OVA and movies.
In TV series, because the director is too busy to take care of every episode, the "performance" of each episode is equivalent to the "exclusive director" of the episode. He always controls the production of the episode according to the (general) director's intention. In OVA and Movie, the position of "performance" is more like "assistant director", who understands the director's intention and helps to deal with the details of the performance work ("performance work" is the process of "transforming script words into lens pictures", which is a bit like the so-called "scene scheduling" in western movies or stage plays). His job is quite similar to supervision, and he must be familiar with animation language, but he doesn't have to be good at painting (just as a director doesn't have to be good at painting ...). Therefore, some people translate it into "co-director" and others translate it into "assistant director" or "practical director".
