The preview was very fluid and smooth. Lots of mass battle scenes. Tanaka leaving. #sdcc #berserk

18.14

Q&A done. Sneak preview of movie 2 now. Since part 1 was short (70 min), part 2 is longer (96 mins), part 3 is 126 mins #sdcc #berserk

18.12

All three parts of the film trilogy were done simultaneously. #sdcc #berserk

18.11

Zodd was the most difficult character to do. They drew his joint movements first and then re-render in 3d #sdcc #berserk

18.06

Western swords, unlike Japanese, are two-edged, and big swords are more like clubs or axes. #sdcc #berserk

18.05

They got an actual medieval fighting instructor and motion captured him to assist in battle animation. #sdcc #berserk

18.03

They, alas, had to cut out the scene where Guts and Griffith are splashing water at each other. I remember. #sdcc #berserk

18.02

Tanaka: I promise you the animation gets better in part 2 and part 3. #sdcc #berserk

18.01

Drawing characters, esp face and expression, was hard in 3D. Drew the faces first then attached to body. #berserk #sdcc

18.00

Fight choreography for Berserk was very new to Studio 4C. 2D and 3D mix. #sdcc #berserk

17.58

Loved portraying the friendship between Griffith and Guts. But of course. #sdcc #berserk

17.56

Decided to adapt vol 4-13 (Golden Age Arc), and ended up with 6 hours worth of storyboards. So it’s a film trilogy. #sdcc #berserk

17.54

Currently the third movie is in production in Japan. #sdcc #berserk

Manga author Kentaro Miura said: show it to me again! He then said: let’s do this. #berserk #sdcc

17.53

Tanaka: needed to figure out how to cut a human in half with a big long sworc in a 70 second pilot. #sdcc #berserk

17.51

I submitted a question about how #Berserk’s genre is less mainstream now, and if the film might rekindle interest #sdcc

17.50

Neon Alley is to be released on PS3. #neonalley #sdcc #viz

“It’s a love story between two men” #berserk #sdcc

17.45

An introduction to #Berserk. Manga sold 30m copies?! #sdcc

17.39

Studio 4C highlight reel: they definitely do a lot of Western adaptations and more experimental stuff. #sdcc #berserk

17.36

LOL< we are probably going to be on a Japanese DVD extra. I consent. :) #sdcc #berserk

17.33

Technical difficulties with the Powerpoint. Not starting yet. #sdcc #berserk
