The story follows Tatsumi Oga. He is a first year student at a school for juvenile delinquents called Ishiyama High. The story starts with Oga telling his best friend, Takayuki Furuichi, the strange story of how he found a baby. One day while doing 'laundry' by the river, he saw a man floating downstream. Oga pulled him to shore but the man split in half, revealing a baby boy inside. This baby turned out to be the son of the great demon king, and Oga has been chosen as the one to raise him, along with the baby's maid, Hilda. The drama follows Oga's life as he tries to raise the child while enrolled at Ishiyama High.

  • johndavis_1994 After several attempts of looking for the ideal casting for the role of Yolda, i finally decide to have Nashiko play two characters, both Hilda and Yolda. Yeah y'know, since both of them look similar to the point where Oga and Furuichi mistook Yolda for Hilda

    • theonewithda_gun   @johndavis_1994 yea, plus the crew could easily do something to make it work and have both Hilda and Yolda appear in the same frame together.

    • johndavis_1994   @theonewithda_gun It depends on budget, in any case is often a combination of various "tricks". Split frame is one, you shoot the scene with the actress performing to an imaginary self with room in the frame for the other 'self'. Then you shoot the reactions to that performance from the same angle, lens etc against green screen and combine the two. Sometimes a green screen is dropped right there after the performance on the 'live' set. Camera is locked off in both cases, to avoid tracking problems etc, that you can overcome if your budget allows. On wide shots you can use a lookalike stunt or an actress who look similar enough. Budget permitting, you can put 'trackers' on the actress' face who is playing the other, and then in CGI replace her face with the face of the main actress.

    • johndavis_1994   @theonewithda_gun Nowadays there are many ways to shoot. One can shoot the score against a blue/green screen, and composite the back ground if it’s a static shot. Two, use a motion control camera, shoot the entire move with the actor in his/her first position, shift the actor over to the second position and mimic the move. Afterwards in post, depending on the camera move, one uses a traveling matte to overlap the two characters. Another way is to use a body double and replace the actor’s face onto the double, and so on. Each shot depends on the its complexity.
