I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.

Just after the girls left the house, Theo immediately headed toward the animation studio of his house.

He was ready to start the next step of the animation production.

Yesterday, Theo checked all the frames for mistakes, and he did not find anyone.

He did that after he arrived home from the restaurant at night.

That was because before he went to the restaurant, Theo spent his day editing his two music videos.

He had tons of work, but after working throughout the whole morning and afternoon, Theo had the two music videos ready before he went to the restaurant.

'Perfect' and 'Save Your Tears' had their music videos!

Theo was very satisfied with the crew's job in filming the music videos.

He was especially impressed with their work on the 'Save Your Tears' project.

Even though they didn't know the song that was the theme of the video, they did an amazing job shooting the party scene.

The actors, the camera movements, the closeups, and so on combined perfectly when he synched the song with the scenes.

As soon as he finished editing the music videos. he watched them with Aurora.

And just by reactions as she watched, Theo was sure that he was not being biased when he said they were great music videos.

After that, he immediately forwarded the two music videos to Ayia.

She would enter with copyright procedures of the two music videos.

Just like that, 3 of the 4 music videos of his album were ready.

And with his album already finished, Theo just had one thing before the release of his album.

The animated music video of 'Believer'.

Only because there was only one thing left to do didn't mean it was easy, it was the other way around.

The next three days would be the busiest of his life.

That was because Theo had to compose the frames, produce the sound effects, edit the scenes, add the song, and so on.

All of this before Wednesday night.

Theo had to finish the music video one day before the album's release because Ayia would need to get the copyrights of his music video before he could post it online.

There was no possibility of releasing the music video without the copyrights registered.

That's why Theo was racing against time to finish everything in time.

Theo knew that if he hadn't had such a crazy idea to produce such a complicated animated video in less than one week, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

But after he remembered the videos he saw in his last life, he knew had to follow his heart.

He wanted to see a music video in an animated version!

Plus, he did not mind the extra work.

But before he started working that day, Theo picked up his phone and searched for a phone number.

After a while, he found it and immediately dialed it.

"Hello?" An aged answered the call.

"Matron? This is Theo! Do you remember me?" Theo asked with a smile on his face.

"How can I not, my child? You are so good to us." Matron Isabela replied with a motherly voice.

She remembered vividly Theo, Aurora, and Ayia's first visit.

Her orphanage was passing through a hard time paying the bills.

It was only through Theo and Ayia's donations that the orphanage gained back its liveliness.

With their donation, Matron Isabela was able to improve the children's lives.

She was able to pay their school fees, baby products, school materials, food, and much more.

She was even able to prepare the orphanage for the Winter Season as she bought cozy blankets, heaters, warm food, and other Winter products.

Even though Theo and the girls hadn't visited the orphanage in a while, they still donated every month to the orphanage bank account.

Matron Isabela would never forget the kids who helped her make the orphanage better for the kids.

"It is my pleasure!" Theo replied with a happy smile as he heard her voice.

He could not help but remember his mother in his past life when he talked with the matron.

"The children miss you and the girls, son." Matron said with a chuckle.

"That's what I wanted to talk about, matron." Theo smiled.

"My friends and I want to throw a New Year's party for the children. Is it okay with you if we do that?" Theo asked with a nervous voice.

He really wanted to throw this party, but he would only do it if the matron allowed it.

"That's so sweet of you, son! Of course, I agree. The children will love it." The matron replied in her aged voice filled with love.

She was truly happy for Theo's help and willingness to make the children happy.

"Thank you, matron!" Theo exclaimed happily.

"I should be the one thanking you, my child." The matron chuckled.

"My friends will contact you to combine the details of the party." Theo said with a smile on his face.

He couldn't wait to see the happy faces of the children.

The two of them talked for a while longer before Theo hung up the phone.

Theo took a deep breath and smiled brilliantly as he texted the girls with Matron's answer.

Until he finished his animated music video, the girls would take care of the party planning.

He sat in front of his computer and started working after he took care of everything.

What Theo was going to do now was to 'compose' or 'film' the animation.

It is commonplace for the frames to be completed on a computer. After they are drawn and checked, they are digitized. Once they are on the computer, they are painted with a specified color palette by the painting staff (generally a low-paid job). They use the shading lines drawn by the key animators to do the shading colors. This digital equivalent of the 'ink & paint' stage of production, which used to be done by hand, has allowed some more interesting visual styles to come through in the coloring, such as the use of gradient shading or even textures. These would have been too difficult to do back in the day. It has also saved considerable time and money in the process. These become the final "cels" that go into the animation.

Normally, the frames are drawn by hand, and the background is added digitally during the composition process.

But Theo made all the drawings digitally, which meant that he has already drawn the frames with the background added.

Which made the composition process much easier.

During composting, the effects are also applied to the cuts.

Effects! This might sound like a trivial thing when we're talking about anime, but it can be a vital component of the visual style of a series because it incorporates basic things like ambient lighting, flare, backlight, the glint on a sword, blur, and many other things integral to giving depth and atmosphere to 2D drawings.

Then there are all the flashy things we'd usually think of when someone mentions special FX – magical attacks, explosions, and the like. These are typically hand-drawn but then rendered with effect CG for their glow/shine. These effects can be simply added to the compositions using digital masking. The ease of this step now has resulted in one of the biggest distinctions between anime a decade ago and the anime of today.

So, Theo predicted that it would take a while for him to finish the 'filming' process, after all, the anime he created had a lot of special effects.
