Progress Report - Ohfuji
Hey there, everybody! I'm the AC press attaché Ohfuji!
Aw, Nomura-kantoku [T/L: kantoku = director] blabbed the release date. ;___;
Being in charge of publicity, I'm the one supposed to deliver all those info to
you guys when the time is right so as to avoid complications but now Nomura-kantoku
has gone and ruin it all for me. *nervous laughter*
Director (Nomura): Ohfuji~~, is it ok if I announce the release date on the
web?
Ohfuji: Like, when?
Director: Well, like before the magazines do.
Ohfuji: ......
Ohfuji: U-uh...well you see, Mr. Director, uhm, I don't think that'll be
a good idea because uh...
Director: What? Is there a problem?
Ohfuji: Well the release date will officially be released by the magazine-side
so why not just let them...?
Director: *starts to get mad* But I wanna let the fans know first! We've
got this site that's made especially for the fans, you see...
Ohfuji: Eh...even if you tell me that.. I mean what about regulations....???
T___T
And that was pretty much all the discussion we had on the subject.
Further details relating to the release will be announced in the 5/16 issue of Shounen
Weekly Jump. Lots will be revealed then so please look forward to that! All of us
on the publicity side are already going full swing in our preparations. Yup, we're
all charging full speed ahead towards the release!
Well, back to AC.
The quality is of course fabulous but this being a direct continuation of the FFVII
storyline, there might be some of you out there who remain pretty apprehensive about
the whole thing. Either way, we deeply appreciate the attention you all have paid
towards this project and especially those of you who are following the updates on
the movie thus far. Then let us not forget the time we scored an invite to screen
our unfinished work at the highly prestigious Venice International Film Festival.
And allow me to digress a little, but there were rumors going around on the Internet
that we bought our way into screening our work. Things like how it wouldn't be too
hard for anybody to screen their stuff in one of the three world's biggest international
film festivals if they buy their way in. Well, we DID pay the compulsory entrance
fee of 20 Euro (about 3000yen) but that's about as far as our doling out money went
*laughs*. What really happened was; we got the invite but initially kept telling
them that we can't accept it because the work wasn't even completed. Yet, while
fully aware of that, they wouldn't accept 'no' for an answer and kept on requesting
for us to show what we can until we can no longer say 'no' and gave in. And really,
that's the truth.
On the other hand, there were other film festivals by the dozens that bestowed us
invites, to which we unfortunately had to decline due to time constraint, to which
they amiably accepted. With present-day CG bigwigs like Pixar and ILM, a full-length
animation from Japan such as ours getting attention from these scores of festival
committees is truly a great honor, indeed. It's a good chance for us to let the
world know that there are people and companies able to churn out beautiful full-length
CGs even in Japan.
Well, some of you lucky people out there may have gotten the chance to view the
sneak preview at the Tokyo Film Fest last year but because AC is a made-for-DVD-quality
film, in order to give it a HD resolution (in other words, super high-quality vision),
it is made so that it'll look fabulous even on a big cinema screen. Truly an experience
to be watched with a 5.1ch surround sound system, it's a tremendously amazing piece
of work. All of us staff hope that the plan to show this on big screen will be realized
because that way all of you will be able to experience it to its fullest extent.
At present, we are in the midst of discussion with the relevant parties on this
so you can by all means start anticipating that. Also, onto yet another matter,
with everyone busy preparing for the release, should there be any official decisions
made I will make sure to let you all know as they are announced to us.
So let us go all out with this, Mr. Director!
Only, even if we are already more or less prepared, an informal announcement may
sometimes invite confusion and complication, and as a result, our hard work may
end up destroyed in the undercurrent of it all. If I recall correctly, you have
mentioned some things to that effect previously. I think your stand on sneak peeks
being fodder that will complicate the whole movie release process was one of them.
For us at the publicity department, it's the same. We like to maintain an impartial
stance when releasing information so we always prefer to announce things in an official
manner so as to keep things running smooth.
Whatever the case may be, a final release date has been decided upon. Content and
other such wonderful things are at a definite stage of completion. And before we
all know it, we're counting down towards it ourselves.
Just a little bit before we'll all get to see the result of Cloud, Tifa, Vincent
and all the others after getting world-class CG treatment. Just a liiiiitle bit
more....
Soooo...are you all ready for it?
Square-Enix, Ohfuji
