147 143 Getting things done well at the planning stage is the key to making things easier later (1/2)

We received an internal e-mail about creating a video for a job posting, and after several days of reviewing the content with the supervisor who sent it, we had an additional meeting with him and were given a new assignment: to create a proposal.

The job was to write a proposal.

So to speak, the job was to decide the contents of the PV.

It is only natural that our testers were entrusted with the concept of this PV.

We need to know what kind of personnel the people in the field are looking for.

If we can put our opinions into it, then of course we should.

If you make a decision based on the judgment of the upper management without knowing anything, you will end up with a disagreement between the upper and lower management, and you will end up with something that's not right.

It is the top that loses and the bottom that suffers.

If this happens, a rift will be created between the top and bottom, and the atmosphere of disagreement will be bad for the workplace.

It's not a win-win relationship, it's a perfect LoseLose relationship.

But on the other hand, if the work is done properly, the top will benefit and the bottom will also benefit.

That is a win-win relationship.

Kaido and I decided that it is better to do it if we can be part of deciding such a crossroads.

Even though I'm constantly getting married and having a baby, or having a new wife, I don't think I can leave this place.

I'll be more enthusiastic than usual.

After all, the most important point in running the company is how many useful people we have on hand.

Even if you have good materials and equipment, it's useless if the people who use them are bad.

It's the same for those who come after us, or who will come under us.

It's fine to be dreamy, but it's also hard to raise blind people.

If the righteous idealist with no sense of righteousness and blinded reality arrives, then we have to make sure to screen them at the PV stage.

We're going to be responsible for the warriors or the vanguard in general ...... not enough pictures. Kaido, can you use your shield?

”I'm a two-faced guy, you know?　I've never used it.

I know, I'm a big sword, so I can't use it.

If you were a senior, you'd wave it around with one hand, but you can't?

It's not impossible, but it's just that I've become accustomed to wielding it with both hands. The use of a shield would certainly expand the scope of the fight, but even if it's only for a while, that's not enough to ruin your current style.

The production of a PV was a challenge, but as amateurs, we were faced with a lot of problems from the planning stage.

Although we are amateurs in video production, we lacked the professional know-how to make a combat PV.

The role of the vanguard is to fight the enemy head on.

As well as defeating the opponent, the role of the vanguard is to protect the rear guard and prevent the opponent's progress.

Me, Kaido, and Kitamiya's former party member Hizuru are sadly the vanguard who put more weight on the attack than the defense.

Therefore, our defense is lacking.

It's not impossible to do so, but I'm the type to defend with a mineral tree, not a shield, and a weapon.

Since Kaido and Hucumi are mages and swordsmen, they are mainly in the style of bait to attract attention and evade rather than prevent.

They are both major styles, but as a shield (tank), they are evil.

When I first heard of PV, I thought it would be all about fighting, but there's a lot more to do than I thought.

It's partly because we're amateurs, but also because it's more than we expected to have to go into this much detail. The reliable and experienced Minami also said he didn't hear about it.

”You've missed the mark. If you ask, it's the wrong genre with a straight face, that it is!　I was making batten marks with my hands as hard as I could.

The first thing that came to mind when this story came up was that Minami, who seemed to be very reliable and strong in this kind of relationship, also said that he had never done a genre such as video editing.

I thought there was nothing I could do about it, so I thought of another option and asked Suera if I could hire a contractor.

In addition, it's a matter of what we do, and if there is no subcontractor to do it for,” he said.

We can buy materials, but I didn't think we'd have any manpower problems.

In this day and age, there are many companies that will make a PV or two if they can afford it.

But that is only if it is an ordinary company.

Unfortunately, this company is ordinary on the surface but completely abnormal on the inside.

Furthermore, the company's business is largely secretive and cannot be outsourced due to the high risk of having an in-house video production company.

Magical suggestion and memory manipulation are not that versatile.

They say they can do it, but when it comes to the real memory manipulation class, it's not at the suggestion level, but at the brainwashing level.

If the story had gone on, we wouldn't have had to make a PV proposal at the same time as the dungeon attack.

It seems that this company does not have the guts or the negative mindset to stop the project because it seems impossible.

As soon as I got all the necessary equipment from the internet or books, I was ready to make a proposal.

The Demon King's Army is currently forming a film crew with members who have quickly adapted to mechanical operations.

Demons, goblins, lizardmen, beastmen, dark elves, etc., etc.

It was quite interesting to see the various species facing the computer and reading the camera's instruction manual.

Personally, I liked the image of the Harpy with a camera attached to his leg while he was practicing shooting in the air.

Now this is a digression.

”There's no point in droning on. If our future workload depends on this proposal, then we're going to get serious about it.

”Ugh, the deadline isn't that short, so I'll be there for sure.

”Oh.

If we're told to do something, it's our role to do our best.

Kaido and I both know that this is just a theory.

I really want to beat the other guys.

The president of the company is going to see these completed videos, and he has informed me that he will give an extra bonus to the best one.

The amount is not clearly stated, but it is promised to be enough to motivate you.

I'd like to earn as much money as possible because I can see myself getting married and having a child in the future.

Maybe that's one of the reasons why I'm more motivated than usual to get into this job.

But it is not going to be easy because I have never done this job before.

But as I've never done this job before, it doesn't go well. That's inevitable, so I have to accept it, but still the stress builds up naturally.

So, when things go wrong, I take up the dungeon test, which is another job, for a change of pace.

I'm stuck in creating a PV.

Dungeon test, rampage, stress relief.

Getting back to the point, the cast will include me and Kaido, but I'd like to see some of the other members on the show if possible.

”A comparison of the roles of the vanguard and the rear guard, right?　If you want to see the vanguard in action, we can do it on our own, but that would be useless.

Yeah, if it's just the vanguard, it's going to be a video that's mainly about fighting. If we had other party members, it would be easier to explain their roles other than fighting in front.

”I'm doing a great job, too!

Well, the more comparisons we have, the more we stand out. But our music video will be about the vanguard, not just about fighting. We'll make sure we communicate that too.

”Yes, sir!　It's quite shocking to see the discrepancy between what I've heard and what I'm doing,

In fact, I was working on this PV this morning as well, but as it went on, the conversation started going in circles.

Then I needed to change my mind.

So, when the time was right, I cut it short and just now I was running wild in the dungeon.

You're used to working in a reasonable hierarchy to find improvements and write up reports quickly.

And when you're moving around and your head is clear, you can resume your work.

It's hard to get motivated at the beginning. Be clear on what you do, no scams in the job description.

The only thing we can do is to tell them that the vanguard is dangerous, too.

Of course, it's more dangerous to play the vanguard if people think you're safer than you think. It's more dangerous to keep that disadvantage to yourself and proceed with the conversation.

It's not going to be easy to get people in.

...... That's the problem. It's not just a matter of how much you can demonstrate a flashy action scene, but also of how dangerous it will be if you shy away from it. If people think it's impossible to be a vanguard, it's still a problem. The more you put it in a moderate PV, the less powerful it becomes and the less attractive it becomes. It's a cumbersome adjustment.

That's what I'm talking about. I'm sure you'll be motivated by the fact that there are benefits to being a vanguard, even if it's a little dangerous.

”Merit?

”Yes,

”...... body becomes needlessly robust

I'm pretty sure it's the first training.

Yeah, I almost got along with that old lady on the Sanzu River because of it.

”Me too.

””......”

”Is this an advantage?

”It's a disadvantage that sounds like an advantage,
