00:00The meeting with the drawing staff is based on the storyboard.

00:16What Takahata is always looking for is a sense of realism.

00:23On this day, Takahata was concerned about the movement of a certain cut.

00:30Even if you cut this, you can't cut it like this.

00:33You have to hit it like this before you cut it.

00:36A boy who is a childhood friend of Princess Kaguya cuts the uri and eats it.

00:42It is said that it is difficult to make an animation with a sense of realism

00:45because of the unconscious movement in everyday life.

00:49Takahata is concerned about the movement of a certain cut.

00:53Yes.

00:54Yes.

00:55I'm worried about that, too.

00:57Yes.

00:58I will never make a mistake this time.

01:00I will never make a mistake this time.

01:01Yes.

01:02When will it be finished?

01:04Oh, it will be finished.

01:06The watermelon will be finished, right?

01:07Yes, yes.

01:08Yes, it will be finished.

01:09I can't see it.

01:10Yes.

01:11It's strange.

01:12Oh.

01:13It's like tofu.

01:16Look, it's a watermelon.

01:17It's amazing, isn't it?

01:19The scene where the main character, Seita, cuts the watermelon.

01:23Takahata was afraid that the watermelon would be cut too easily.

01:30Uri and a knife were prepared for the reference of the animation.

01:34It's good.

01:35It's good.

01:36It's good.

01:37No, it's not here.

01:42It's great.

01:44What Takahata was particular about was the way of cutting the knife and the speed at which the knife entered Uri.

01:54He captured the details of human movement and depicted them.

01:58By doing so, he gave the animation a sense of reality.

02:06That was what Takahata had been doing consistently.
