The industry-academia collaboration “Digital Archive Experience Course” co-sponsored by One Billing Co., Ltd., Kyoto Computer Gakuin (KCG), The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics (KCGI), and Cyber Kyoto Research Institute (CKL) September 8, 2019 Was held at the Keihanna Open Innovation Center (KICK) (Seika Town, Kyoto).The lecture was given by Mr. Kenji Fujita, President of Keihanna Open Innovation Center (KICK), which is currently working to turn KICK into a base for archiving anime, manga, and games, while utilizing anime archives (materials and original drawings) with the AppleBooks-type e-book E-SAKUGA.
In the course, students learned about the basic procedures of animation production and the importance of scanning original drawings in the process, and then actually scanned original drawings for practice.When the original image is scanned, wrinkles and shadows of the paper will be introduced into the data and the color tones will be shifted, so it is necessary to use Adobe Photoshop, a photo correction software, to correct the image beautifully.With guidance, students tried their hand at eliminating wrinkles and shadows and adjusting the overall position of the original image.After the hands-on work, the students listened attentively to stories about past animation masterpieces and behind-the-scenes stories about the industry.
