Gedo Senki (Tales from Earthsea)

This is a supplementary entry while the director is busy.

Number 66 - 2nd Trailer in production

As a pinch hitter I've suddenly taken a vacation on my fifth time up.[1] I'm ashamed.

I've gone on with the Pringles topic for several entries but the reaction inside the studio was both "Interesting" and "Too much joking around, it's inappropriate for the Director's blog." Of course, holders of the latter viewpoint are overwhelmingly in the majority. But my own mentality is without a doubt the former. I want to somehow achieve a balance.

To that end, I need to transmit, not my own voice, but that of Director Goro, a little more. Unfortunately, today I was also out of the studio all day, so I had no chance to exchange words with him. That is, at present, we are in production of the second trailer.

In a twist from the original trailer, which was full of background art showing the world view and inviting the viewer into the world of Earthsea, the stage on which the story is set, the second trailer is loaded with highlight scenes. Please look forward to it.
