Hey everyone. Kimura here.
Sorry for the late post. This is my exclusive dormitory diary entry for September.
Continuing on from my last post, I’d like to lay out some thoughts I’ve been having surrounding portfolios.
You may be unfamiliar with portfolios if you haven’t been around a lot of creative work, but simply put, it’s a collection of pieces that one uses to sel...

Hello, Kaneko here.
This is my Dormitory Diary Entry for October.
My work hasn’t changed all that much, so I’d like to take some time to touch on what another fellow dormitory resident wrote about job hunting.
After graduating from high school, I left my hometown and went to a two-year vocational school that offered courses in illustration. When I first got there, I had on...

<September Assignment> A Person in Formal Attire (Suit).
Drawing people in suits.
In general, I believe it's better to take a more stylized (stocky) approach to drawing the body here. The drawings you guys submitted had a cool, suave sort of atmosphere, so I thought it'd be a good idea to draw the characters with a more substantial stature for this assignment.
(Of course...

Hello everyone. Kaneko here.
Here’s my exclusive diary entry for September.
My work has largely been consistent with my August post. We’re doing our final checks and revisions while pumping out in-between frames as the keyframes come in. My pay is up since I’ve been doing a lot of big, 30~50 page cuts recently. I try to think positively and calculate the daily frames I need to...

Hello. Kimura here.
This is my limited dormitory diary entry for September.
It’s job hunting season in the anime industry, so I’d like to take some time to write about that.
For reference, when I was job hunting for the first time, I applied to 7 companies, passed the first screening at 3 companies, and was hired by 1 company. This was my experience during my 4th year of u...

Hey everyone, it’s Kaneko.
Here’s my dormitory diary entry for September.
Since around mid-August, the whole company from producers to touch-up artists have been working double-time as we’re doing the final QA on a batch of films. I’m currently in the process of doing some last-minute re-takes on in-betweens while making new ones as soon as the new keyframes get the go-ahead...

Hello everyone, Kaneko here.
This is my exclusive diary entry for August.
I still went to the office during the Obon holiday to work as usual. I get so hot working long hours at the animation desk that I lose concentration, so I’ve been bringing a chilled water bottle with me every day. Looks like it’ll come in handy for a while.
In addition to the unannounced project weâ€...

Long time no see everyone. Kimura here.
This is my exclusive diary entry for August.
Starting this month, I’ve transitioned back to handling all basic work functions remotely. I guess getting a change of environment doesn’t always mean a productivity increase after all.
During training, we got regular work updates and such by Skype, so there was always an element of human ...

Hello, it’s Kaneko.
Here’s my dormitory diary entry for August.
Japan has been experiencing some severe weather this month. Typhoons, heavy rain, all that jazz. How are all of you holding up?
I took up some work outside of our company project and it went live the other day. I can’t disclose the name of the show, but most Japanese people know it, even if they’re not fam...
