The external leader of the band is Masato Nakamura, and the external face is undoubtedly Miwa-chan. Therefore, when making the album cover, she was undoubtedly the center of attention, and she must also be the one who appears the most on the inside of the album.
.
The camera focused on her. This time we were shooting outdoor scenes, and the most costumes were prepared for her.
But since it is a trio, not her and her two nameless friends, it is impossible to only take care of her. Nakamura brother, Iwahashi Shinichi, the band's external mascot, both have to have it.
own position.
Although before the shooting, the makeup artist had to put foundation on the faces of Miwa-chan and Nakamura-san, the giraffe man Shinichi Iwahashi, who did not have to show his face, was happy to have everything at ease and everything was fine, which also saved the makeup artist's workload.
However, during the official shooting, how to take a suitable photo of the faceless Shinichi Iwahashi would require a lot of effort from the team's little gray brain cells.
There is a member in the band who wears a hood. For such a band, when taking pictures of record covers and inner pages, you need to be strategic. You can take photos that people think are cute, but try not to take photos that people think are funny.
photo.
It would be bad if you were regarded as a comedian.
This point was taken into consideration from the very beginning and treated as a standard.
Since we need to set standards, we must first determine where the line is. In the case of the band, the line should be "how far can Kirin-kun be exposed?"
When you go on stage, you wear a mask to move. However, dynamic and static flat photos are not the same thing. When you move, if you don’t cover your face completely, it will be exposed. However, when taking photos, you can use some
The trick.
After discussion, the standard that came out is that the hood can be taken off, but the front face cannot be shown, and the back can be openly shown to the audience. Anyway, Shinichi Iwahashi is not a big star who can be recognized by his back alone.
If this is the case, the method will become more flexible and rich when taking pictures.
Therefore, during the past few days of filming, Iwahashi Shinichi also appeared on camera from time to time, but his back was usually turned to the camera. Although he did not wear a hood, in order to show that he was a giraffe man, he would use props appropriately.
For example, the team specially bought a plastic giraffe that was only 15 centimeters tall, and placed the plastic giraffe on his right shoulder when taking a set of photos.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t wear a hood all the time during the shooting. When the three of them appear in the photo at the same time, Iwahashi Shinichi will often put the hood on properly, and then he can take photos that make people laugh.
For example, the three of them grabbed the corner of the wall and stuck their heads out at the same time. Miwa-chan and Masato Nakamura only exposed the top of their heads, but the giraffe man had his ears and router exposed because the target was too big.
Regarding the picture taken, Miwa-chan laughed and said: The disguise failed.
This is true.
If three people go together to do something that needs to be secretive, then the giraffe man will be the "pig teammate" who is holding him back.
…
On the fifth day after arriving in London, the day's filming started at the London Zoo.
In the world's oldest zoo, you can see all kinds of wild animals, including giraffes.
The person who suggested shooting at the London Zoo was actually Miwa-chan. When she was still in Tokyo, she took back the travel brochure issued by CBS and Sony and read it. Among the places she wanted to shoot in, the London Zoo was among the places she reported back.
.
Not only did she give some suggestions on where she wanted to go, Miwa-chan even gave a little inspiration to the CBS Sony team.
At first, the giraffe hood at Asahiyama Zoo inspired her and made Iwahashi Shinichi the band's mascot. This time, Miwa-chan got inspiration from the zoo again and came up with an idea of how to take photos of Iwahashi Shinichi.
She knew nothing about photography, so she could only express roughly what was in her mind through gestures. This gesture was similar to the way she gestured about the music she wanted to create in the recording studio.
Not only that, it was also specially paired with a picture she drew by herself, which used touching painting skills to depict a person with his back to the camera, wearing a giraffe hood and looking at the giraffe, and a line of explanation.
Words: Kirin-kun looking at Kirin-kun.
This touching painting technique is exactly the same as her use of line charts to represent the tunes of songs.
It can be seen from this that the experiences are indeed connected.
In short, the idea of rough painting is not rough. Not only Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamura brother found this idea interesting, but the people in charge of CBS and Sony also found it interesting. Therefore, the London Zoo became one of the locations for this outdoor shooting.
After receiving the filming application and entering the park, Shinichi Iwahashi put on the giraffe hood again.
Although he played the role of a giraffe man, this was actually the first time he actually saw a real giraffe. To be honest, Iwahashi Shinichi is the kind of person who doesn’t like going to the zoo. It’s not necessarily because he doesn’t like it, but it’s still true.
There is nothing interesting about watching animals in a zoo.
Looking at the real giraffe in front of me through the giraffe hood, the first thing that comes to mind is that the neck is really long and the size is really big. Shinichi Iwahashi sighed in his heart, a little bored.
The real giraffe opposite also noticed this strange guy and observed him vigilantly.
Then, the filming started.
Under the direction of the photographer, Shinichi Iwahashi tried various poses, while the staff tried every means to keep the real giraffe’s attention on Shinichi Iwahashi.
Miwa-chan and Masato Nakamura, who were also at the scene, looked on, both looking at the excitement.
The one who can order people like Shinichi Iwahashi around is probably the photographer. Masato Nakamura thought of this and found it funny when he saw Shinichi Iwahashi being asked to do this and that by the photographer.
Miwa-chan was secretly looking forward to making fun of Shinichi Iwahashi after the filming was finished. It was particularly interesting when someone like him showed a helpless expression.
After taking the photo, Iwahashi Shinichi took off his hood. When he glanced over, he saw the gloating expressions of his two teammates and was speechless. No matter what time of the day, there is always no shortage of teammates watching the fun.
The culprit, Miwa-chan, ran to him with a smile, "Thank you, Shinichi-kun~"
...If you can stop smiling so evilly, then I won’t have to work so hard. Iwahashi Shinichi thought silently.
The hood was taken over by U-Miz's manager Kurishima Shinji. Miwa-chan looked at Shinichi Iwahashi's hair that was weighed down by the hood. Although the gloating smile was still on her face, she stretched out her hand to help him.
Trimmed my hair.
This movement was done smoothly and naturally, and you can tell he is a skilled worker at a glance.
