I am the Entertainment Tycoon-Chapter 343 Theo’s Lecture
"Starting next week, we will start recording the voiceovers. While the soundtrack will take some time to be finished." Theo added as he looked at the animators.
He would be the one producing the soundtrack, but because he would go on a vacation with his sister and friends, he would only have time to start working on that after the vacation ended.
But Theo was not anxious to start producing the soundtrack.
He needed to produce the intro and ending songs, and also the ambient songs that would go into the animation.
It would be a tough job, but Theo was up for it.
Theo asked Kanai, Emina, and Oichi some other questions just like he did with the other departments.
The animators were once again taken by surprise because it seemed like their boss was extremely knowledgeable about sound design too.
He asked questions without an ounce of doubt, and his silver eyes exuded confidence and calmness.
But 5 girls were even more surprised as they knew it was not so simple.
Kanai, Emina, Brianna, Mitsue, and Zofia knew very well that other than being a talented animator, their boss was also an amazing chef!
Now they saw that he was also knowledgeable in sound designing?
That was crazy!
Emina and Kanai were even more shocked than the others because the two of them were experts in the area, so they recognized that Theo's knowledge in sound designing was not small.
But they suppressed their turmoil emotions because the silver-haired man was still looking at them.
When Theo was satisfied with their answers, he looked at the last department.
The Editing Department was involved in all steps of anime production, they were also responsible for the last procedure in the production.
It could be said that great editing could change the final result.
"How about you guys? How's the editing going?" Theo asked as he looked at the editors.
As soon as he asked that, Nora Wells replied with a confident voice, "Boss, we finished editing the first episode already. And as soon as the voiceovers and soundtrack are ready, we can add to the animation. Then the first episode will be 99% ready. We are currently editing the second episode and helping the other departments."
In the past 3 weeks, Nora transformed into another person, she became confident and free.
She felt so amazing to work in her dream job without worrying about abusing bosses, she could work without any worries!
She had never felt so happy, and that made her more confident, that's why she didn't even hesitate to answer Theo's question.
Nora became even happier this week because her little sister arrived in Elffire City this week.
Her little sister stayed in Sakura City while she came to Elffire City because she needed to do her college entrance exams, but as she finished, the girl immediately took the train to Elffire City. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
Nora rented an apartment close to the studio for them to live in, so the two siblings were having a lot of fun in the new city, especially because Nora's little sister could see that her big sister loved her new job.
The girl only became even more determined to enter the Bluecorn State University in Elffire City to stay with her big sister.
Nora was admired by everyone in the editing department, they experienced Nora's amazing editing skills, and they had to admit that she was a genius.
Then they understood why Nora was the only one to get the supervisor position in the editing department.
"Can you show me what you got so far?" Theo asked as he looked at her.
Theo knew Nora very well, after all, she was the most likely person to assume the head of the editing department.
"Sure, boss! We brought here a short-cut of the first few minutes of the episode for you to see." Nora replied as she pulled a drive from her work folder.
"Amber, connect the driver to the projector." Ryoko asked her assistant who was seated by the side.
Amber nodded, and soon after, Theo and the others were watching the first few minutes of the [Sword Art Online] Anime.
No voices were coming from the characters' mouths because the voiceovers were not ready yet, but the other sound effects were already in place.
The sound of Kirito walking through the streets, and other things could be heard.
Several things could be adjusted, but Theo's shone in excitement as he watched the shortcut.
This was the result of his painstaking efforts to open an animation studio!
After months of working, they finally produced the first few minutes of his first anime!
Theo had to admit that he was a little emotional as he watched the shortcut, but that didn't stop him from judging objectively the animation.
His eyes were like hawk eyes analyzing every tiny detail of the animation.
When the animation shortcut ended, Theo was silent for a few minutes, he was thinking about what he saw.
While he was immersed in his thoughts, the animators were having a hard time controlling their nervousness.
They were so afraid that Theo wouldn't like their work.
This animation was the result of everyone in that room, and if he didn't like it, it would be everyone's fault.
Even Ryoko was nervous because she was the one coordinating and guiding them, so she would be the most to blame.
Everyone in the room held their breaths when Theo suddenly woke up from his reverie, it was truth time!
"I have to admit, you guys did a better job than I imagined. Especially because this is your first time working together. Good job, guys!" Theo declared with a smile.
The animators felt like a heavy weight was lifted from their back when they heard, they sighed in relief and smiled when they heard that.
Working together for the first time was always difficult, especially when they worked in the animation industry, so Theo was genuinely impressed by their work.
"But there are some points that need adjustments. Let me explain to you." Theo said calmly as he stood up from his seat and walked toward the projection.
The animators became a little nervous again, but they didn't avert their eyes from him, they wanted to know what adjustment he thought was necessary to make.
Theo stopped beside the projection and replayed the beginning of the shortcut.
"For example, the shade of the background needs to follow the precision..." Theo started exposing his view of the anime as the shortcut went on.
Sometimes he stopped at a certain moment to explain a frame, sometimes he asked them to listen to the sounds, and sometimes he showed them a different view of the animation.
Word came out of his mouth calmly as he easily dissected their work and explained the adjustments they should implement.
Everyone looked at him as if they were in a trance, his words were a knowledge that made their minds wander. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
He seemed like an experienced animator who worked in the industry for decades.
His words resonated with their own knowledge and made them understand what they did wrong.
Most of them started writing Theo's suggestions and opinions, with those words they would be able to become better in their jobs!
Everyone had looks of contemplation and shiny eyes when Theo finished his mini-lecture.
Theo taught them as if it was something extremely normal.
Just like that, Theo gave his first lecture to his animators and made them see what they should do better.
With Theo's guidance, they would only become better.
But what would the ending result be?
