Kohei Kawase

It was really interesting to be given a talk by Kohei Kawase, a producer from Warner Entertainment in Japan. It was actually a little  surreal, he was the producer not just on some Anime’s that I’d heard of (Accel World) and knew were popular but on one that I actually really liked! (food wars!!!) It was also an interested experience because he had a translator, of course he did he was Japanese! I don’t know why I assumed he spoke english, ah I am an entitled westerner I suppose. The first thing he did was go through a chart with us on what it takes to produce and anime (and I suppose it works for all tv sized animations even in the west (Anime= Animation, duh)) What I got from this was was the knowledge of what a producer does, and how they're supposed to represent the view of the public, and when the director gets too enrapt in their own artistic vision its the producer that has to steer them away from a route that just would not be popular. Kawase said while he doesn't draw he does consider what he does as creative, as he creates something that people want to see and understands how to create an environment for the other creatives to make their best work. When answering questions he told us that after the anime is physically made, there involves a lot of media to make people want to watch it, because if they do and its popular and makes money then they can make another. For some reason it hadn’t occurred to me that the money taken in from the first season of a show is quite a lot used to produce the next season. When talking about his relationship with directors and if they every have problems with each others creative visions he replied ‘It has happened, we’d want to go in different directions. We have had fisticuffs over it.’ (he was really sweet he kept making jokes) ‘We take it so seriously that’s why it can get so heated.’ I liked his sense of humour and his obvious love for what he did. When learning more about what it took to make anime I knew even more that while I love animation and want to learn it in the future…going into the career or animation or at least the actual animating part of it was not for me. I prefer having a more close contact approach with producing something. I don’t want to be part of a team where we all draw the same thing exactly, one 5th of a second at a time. I’d either want to help design the a the styles or world or characters or promotion art. I want to..have an individual voice, but I imagine it could be hard hard to do that I imagine within a company where there are lots of creative striving to produce one in sync thing exactly the same. So yes, interesting, but told me that I wasn’t cut out for the animation part of the industry. Granted I haven't tried but I don't want to invest in a route I feel I’ll most likely end up feeling miserable. The talk was very informative. And fun.
