Everyday heroes

Chapter 314 Dormant
Although it is also possible to learn ready-made lip language books, the necessary first-hand information of self-observation is the most profound.

Although books are excellent, they are also second-hand materials after being chewed by others.

Only by combining one's own experience and knowledge with the systematic knowledge refined and compiled from books can a better learning effect be achieved.

However, it is not possible to kill all domestic animations with one stick. In recent years, the development of Huaguo's two-dimensional animation is still good.

In the past, Huaguo animation was mainly aimed at children, and it was of course saving money to shoot with the least amount of money.

In addition, there are still many cancers who are only greedy for state subsidies, and don't care about the quality of the finished product at all, so the animations produced are naturally not much better.

Generally speaking, images of 24 and 25 frames are already very smooth for the naked eye.

Disney's animations are all 24 frames, that is, one shot and one shot.

In order to control costs, Japanese animation production companies generally adopt the method of one shot for two and one shot for three, that is, twelve frames and eight frames per second.

This is already a relatively dangerous level, and in some action scenes, the number of frames needs to be increased.

But many animation companies in Huaguo are even more lazy than them, and generally use one shot three or one shot four.

To some extent, it did greatly save the workload of the original artist and greatly control the cost, but it also caused the incoherence of the animation picture.

Naturally, in terms of mouth shape, you can save as much as you can.

Guan Lang didn't spend too much time on observing the mouth shape, this work can be done at any time, just spend some time to sort it out once in a while.

His goal is not to become an expert in lip language, as long as he can roughly summarize the relationship between Chinese pronunciation and mouth shapes.

The characters drawn in that way can almost lip-sync their words.

The most urgent task is still to continue to expand the character dynamic material library in my head.

The richer it is, the more handy he will be when drawing original paintings in the future.

Seeing the corresponding script text, you only need to call up the dynamic storyboard of similar characters in your mind, and you don't need to think too much, and you can express the picture vividly in the pen.

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not cut wood by mistake.

For the whole afternoon, he didn't do anything, just wandered around the yard.

With a special idea in mind, he found that even the materials near his home were plentiful, and he didn't need to go far at all.

People of different professions and ages.

Only then did he understand the true meaning of thousands of people and thousands of styles.

People who usually walk on the street and are simplified by the brain as passers-by are also completely different individuals.

They have different personalities. Some people are not easy to control their emotions, and they are very angry and happy, while others are weak and expressionless. Only through the slight fluctuations between their eyebrows and eyes can they feel the changes in their mentality.

A pair of best friends who link arms and talk and laugh may just be plastic sisters.

The mocking expression of the boy who played tricks on the little girl revealed a bit of hesitation.

Words can lie, but expressions cannot.

The slightest detail of demeanor can completely expose the psychology and character of a stranger.

Guan Lang felt that he might not only need to learn teaching books on lip language, but also read some related books on expression control and micro-expressions.

When the sun was setting, Guan Lang went shopping and went home contentedly.

He felt that he had gained a lot today, even more fruitful than yesterday's initial study.

Yesterday was just the accumulation of knowledge and skills, but the opportunity to really connect his golden fingers with painting will make his career path go forward and reach the peak in the future.

In the evening, after finishing the evening workout.

He was browsing an app for learning lip language with his mobile phone. There are almost no lip language books in China. Some of them are basically research-oriented, and they are not suitable for learning skills quickly.

While playing with the app, he invoked the lip-shape images he observed at noon in his mind.

Progress is fast.

Because he wants to use a two-dimensional picture to express the effect of mouth shapes, he does not need to be very detailed. He only needs to summarize the pronunciation of more than 400 Chinese characters to form a general set of fixed mouth shapes.

Of course, in addition to summarizing the data, this process also requires him to have a strong translation ability to convert three-dimensional images into two-dimensional images.

Combining the information on the lip language app and the first-hand information obtained from his own observation, Guan Lang roughly summed up the twelve mouth-shape archetypes.

Of course, this does not mean that there are only these [-] types. People's mouth shapes are in a dynamic process of change.

If it is separated, it can be roughly divided into the preparatory action of forming the mouth shape, the process action of maintaining the mouth shape, and the ending action of ending the mouth shape.

According to the pronunciation of different Chinese characters, the twelve sets of mouth-shape prototypes he summarized also need to have certain deformations at different stages, and finally form a lifelike mouth-shape animation image.

It doesn't look like he took much time to figure it out.

But it actually involves a lot of work.

It is mainly due to his strong observation ability, recording ability, retrieval and summarization ability, and strong art skills.

Under the control of the same thinking, an astonishing ability to cooperate has been formed, and finally such a large workload can be completed in such a short period of time.

The result of the work is also very good. From Guan Lang's point of view, it is already much more flexible than the fixed mouth shapes of most Japanese animations.

Wu Yazhen didn't bother him when she saw that he was serious about his work.

I think his meticulous face, but with a faint smile is particularly attractive.

After sorting out the mouth shape information, he is satisfied with today's work, but is ready to strike while the iron is hot and continue to learn the content of facial expressions and micro-expressions.

Human expressions may be much more complicated than the traceable and rigid mouth shapes.

Some people cry with laughter, and some people are extremely happy and sad.

Even the two most extreme emotions can be transformed quickly, not to mention the countless subtle emotional changes.

Even for an ordinary person, the turmoil in his heart is unimaginable.

During the conversation, the expression on the face may be smoothly transformed again and again.

Fortunately, thanks to the sense of accomplishment after summarizing the mouth shapes, although the research and learning of facial expressions are more complicated, he is not discouraged.

This is not a short-term job, if you can't finish it in a day, you just need to study more.

The phoenix's nirvana still needs fire. If he wants to soar into the sky in the animation world, he also needs to hone his experience and skills.

The early study and research and experience accumulation will become his future support and foundation.
