Moving Forward, After Suki Suki Daisuki / 스키스키 다이스키 이후

By working on Suki Suki Daisuki, my ways of expression expanded in many colourful ways

스키스키 다이스키를 만들면서 저의 표현 방식은 한 층 다채롭게 변했습니다.

I realized that I could communicate broad range of narrative with my videos through music and storytelling.

음악과 스토리텔링을 곁들이니, 제가 전할 수 있는 이야기가 배로 늘어났어요.

Our video Suki Suki Daisuki was well received, despite my worries sprouted from the fact that it was my first attempt at trying horror genre, and I was being critical on my ways of expression due to my recent artistic slump. But by reading through different interpretations based on the hints found in the video in the comment section left by you, I felt motivated to keep on creating more animated music video!

처음 시도해본 호러 장르는 생각보다 반응이 좋았습니다. 이전에 겪었던 슬럼프로 인해, 스스로 표현 방식을 검열했거든요. 하지만, 이야기에 심어둔 힌트를 토대로, 댓글로 다양한 해석을 남겨주시는 팬 분들을 보며 저 또한 영감을 많이 얻을 수 있었습니다!

My September

I got to know Nastyona through a suggestion by my friend in my school years

네스티요나님의 곡은 고등학생 때 지인에게 추천 받은 곡이었습니다.

I used to love their song called Cause You're My Mom, and naturally it was the first candidate for the choice of music for my next animated music video work. But in the end, I had to look into another option as I thought the song's subject was not fit for the girls' love theme, which I wanted to keep in my next video as well. After some more searching, I have finally decided to pick Nastyona's another song, My September, for the music for my next video.

당시에 가장 좋아하는 곡이, Cause You’re My Mom 이었습니다. 원래 이 노래로 뮤비를 제작하려고 하였으나 GL 뮤비로 제작하기엔 소재가 맞지 않다고 판단하였습니다. 그렇게 다른 노래를 찾다가 연이 닿은 노래가 바로 네스티요나님의 <My September>였습니다.

Why My September / My September 를 고른 이유

I often find myself picking songs that piques my imagination and instantly brings me up images for my animated music videos, and My September was no exception.

저는 ‘듣자마자 이미지가 연상되는 노래’로 항상 뮤비를 제작하였습니다. My September 역시 듣자마자 바로 이미지가 떠올랐어요.

The lyrics, twistedly demanding affection, the singing style evoking painful emotions, and colourfully painted melody.

뒤틀린 애정을 갈구하는 듯한 가사, 고통스럽게 들리는 목소리와 다양하게 연출된 멜로디.

듣자마자 캐릭터가 떠올라 바로 스케치를 할 수 있었습니다.

특히

Especially the part where the lyrics go:

칼을 쥐고 있던

그 손은 니 손이 아니라

바로 내 손이었어

Grasping a knife,

the hand, it was not yours

only to realize it was mine.

brought me up a strong image of a ghost of a young girl with a distorted smile, and someone desperately grasping for a breath while being strangled by their neck.

위의 가사를 보고, 소녀 귀신의 웃고 있는 모습과 살해 당할 때 목이 짓이겨, 고통스럽게 비명을 지르는 모습이 가장 먼저 떠올랐던 거 같아요.

Thought and Work Process Behind My September MY SEPTEMBER 비하인드

Production

Nowadays, I work together with a team when I make animated music videos, but I was working alone when I was making My September. Back then, I was not fluent on animating my drawings as I am right now, so I focused my effort on trying to convey enough information on the story even with still images

As I was working on the video, I often found myself referencing to Evangelion and His and Her Circumstances, directed by Hideaki Anno, and sometimes Perfect Blue by Satoshi Kon for its colour pallate. Since I wanted the video to have that retro feel, I naturally ended up consulting the works from the older days.

연출

지금은 팀 작업을 하고 있지만, MY SEPTEMBER을 만들 당시에는 저 혼자 작업을 하였습니다. 애니메이팅에 능숙하지 않았기 때문에 멈춰있는 이미지만으로 스토리를 전달할 수 있도록 노력했습니다.

이 과정에서 안노 히데아키 감독의 <에반게리온>, <그 남자 그 여자>를 많이 참고했습니다. 또한 노래의 어두운 분위기와 어울리도록 곤 사토시 감독의 <퍼펙트 블루>의 컬러에도 영향을 받았어요. 이번에도 역시 레트로한 영상 형식을 가져가려다 보니 고전 작품들을 많이 참고하게 되었네요.

Things I wanted To Convey

To think back, I was mostly focused on making a video that raises hair and send a chill down your spine, rather than thinking on grandiose plot and themes. I remember when I was in elementary school, I was watching horror films with my friends, while covering myself with a blanket. Maybe you might have had the same experience! I wanted to make a video which brings you back to that exciting sensation

보여주고 싶었던 것

주제처럼 거창한 건 없었지만, 서늘한 괴담 영상을 만들고 싶다는 일념 하나로 뮤비를 제작했습니다. 저 또한 초등학생 때 친구들과 이불을 덮어쓰고 이런 저런 공포 영상을 많이 찾아봤거든요. 그 때 그 영상처럼 자극적이고 오싹한 경험을 주고 싶었습니다.

Settings

My September is in a setup where the crush from school years, murdered due to a twisted obsession, shows herself once again with the same preserved appearance from the time when she was murdered.

Naturally, I ended up pouring out my yuri taste while working on My September. I had a lot of fun working with the combination of a plain and gloomy looking girl with a beautiful girl who cannot be reached or has to lose her life due to a certain reason. I especially loved working on the character with dark bobbed hair.

설정

MY SEPTEMBER는 학창 시절, 집착하다 못해 살해해버린 짝사랑 상대가 어느 날 그 때 그 모습 그대로 집에 나타났다는 설정입니다.

스키스키 다이스키를 시작으로 제 취향을 가득 담은 GL 커플링을 만들어냈습니다. 원체 GL이라는 장르가 마이너인지라, 제 마음에 쏙 드는 분위기의 커플링은 잘 찾아볼 수 없었거든요.

MY SEPTEMBER에도 저의 GL 취향을 마구 쏟아부었습니다. 수수하고 음울한 캐릭터와 예쁘장하지만 죽거나 떠나거나 어떠한 이유로 닿을 수 없는 캐릭터의 조합을 좋아하기 때문에 굉장히 즐겁게 작업했어요. 특히 칼단발을 한 흑발 캐릭터가 아주 마음에 드네요!

The Scene I Love the Most가장 마음에 드는 장면

The scene I love the most is, when two main characters share a glance in white winter.

가장 마음에 드는 장면은 하얀 겨울에, 두 주인공이 눈을 마주치는 부분입니다.

Regardless of in comics or in animation, I had the most fun whenever I was working on expressing characters who are showing their different self than their usual persona.

Same goes for this scene, as the main characters are emanating different atmosphere than usual, so I was very much inspired while I was expressing this scene.

만화든 애니메이션이든 평소와 다른 캐릭터들의 모습을 그릴 때 가장 즐거웠는데요.이 장면 역시 주인공들 모두 평소와 다른 텐션인지라 굉장히 즐겁게 그렸습니다.

The Difficulties제작하면서 힘들었던 점

I had some trouble balancing out the sensitive scenes' imagery for the age rating. When I was with MCN, a YouTuber agency, my manager told me the video had to be rated for adults only. Due to the regulations, I had to censor and bring the level of harshness down in the later part of the video.

공포 수위를 맞추는 게 가장 어려웠습니다. MCN(유튜버 소속사)에 소속되어 있을 당시, MCN 매니저님께서 영상이 너무 무섭고 적나라해서 19금을 달아야 할 거 같다는 평을 들었습니다. 유튜브의 기준이 제 생각보다 엄격하여, 뒷 부분을 모조리 검열하고 순화시켜야 했습니다.

Deleted Scenes from My SeptemberMY SEPTEMBER 삭제씬

This was what the blonde girl used to look like before. My intention was that since she was brought back to life a long while after her death, I wanted her to look like a petrified mummy which all the water content drained out from her body. Up to this point though, I was not sure if this can be considered as sensitive image.

검열 전 금발소녀의 원 모습입니다. 시체니까 미이라처럼 수분이 빠져 자글자글한 형태이지 않을까 그렸습니다. 사실 이부분까진 그렇게 무서운 줄 모르고 그렸습니다.

※ Sensitive Image Warning! ※※ 주의 ※

This was supposed to be the scene where the blonde girl was being strangled by the girl

with dark bobbed hair consumed by mania. It does look quite harsh, now that I look at it again. I wonder what I was thinking back then when I came up with this, as this looks like a bit of a stretch for the yuri genre I was going for.

In the end, I am glad I had brought the harshness down a bit and ended up with the video where it is currently at.

목이 졸리는 금발 소녀와 광기에 물든 흑발 소녀의 모습인데요, 지금보니 정말 적나라합니다. 과거의 저는 무슨 생각으로 이렇게 그렸을까요? 더이상 GL 장르도 아닌 것 같습니다..

검열하길 천만 잘한 것 같아요.

Goodness, those expressions at the end are truly gruesome to look at

When I saw My September, I just fell in love. The style was so good, the ambient, the narrative with the plot twist. I felt like i didn’t have seen this kind of “genre” in a animation on YouTube for a while. And then I saw all of your videos with all the creepy things mixed with cute girls, I was so surprised. That became the reason to follow you and support you. Keep going🧡

My September and Jordan river were two videos that helped me bond with my partner. We were enamored with the style and themes of the videos and it was so interesting to see the choices artistically and story wise that vivinos created. It’s so interesting to see the story and background and hope to read more of these in the future!
