Chapter 337 Peak Learning Ability
"Animation Draw: Level 2 (6/10)"

Completing the task is naturally not a problem, but Guan Lang's eyes are farther ahead.

He is more concerned about whether his actual production level has been improved, and the improvement of level proficiency is secondary.

He expects to produce his first animated short film in this summer vacation.

It just so happens that the 8th Huaguo College Student Animation Design Contest is also collecting entries, and the deadline is August 15th.

Undergraduates, junior college students and higher vocational students from all regions of Huaguo can participate in the registration, and the entries can be submitted in the name of individuals or teams.

The competition is divided into two stages: preliminary evaluation and final evaluation. The final score is calculated based on a certain percentage of the jury and online voting.

The design competition has been held for several sessions. With the introduction of the online selection process in the past one or two years, the popularity of the event and the exposure of the contestants' works have been greatly improved.

Among them, the most watched form of animation work, the first prize is 10 yuan.

And you can also enjoy the joint promotion efforts of various platforms. If you win the first prize, you can be regarded as a debut in the industry.

Whether you want to continue to make individual independent animations, use this as a springboard to form an animation team, or join a large animation company, it is a good help.

The deadline for writing is actually a bit rushed.

There are only [-] days if he is fully charged, and after excluding possible delays, such as going back to his hometown, taking Guan Xiaomei to the beach and other activities, the time left for him is only about a month.

If it is an ordinary painter who works alone, it is simply unrealistic to complete the work in such a short period of time, so it is better to go to bed early.

But his production speed is promising.

The number of animations in an episode is about [-]. If it is some well-made works, it will generally be between [-] and [-], and it contains an average of [-] to [-] calories of storyboards.

And an animator with proficient drawing skills can roughly draw one or two shots without too many animations in half a day.

He counted his abnormal hand speed and the three minds to work together.

At full throttle, his work efficiency is between 25 and [-] times that of a skilled painter who has worked for two or three years.

If it is more extreme, and the two minds and spirits are also put into work, the work efficiency should be improved a lot.

He estimated that if the preparatory work such as the storyboard script is ready, he should only spend seven to ten days to complete the drawing work for an animation of [-] cards.

Of course, the preparation work in the early stage, the drawing of the storyboard draft, background drawing, post-coloring, adding special effects, importing sound effects and dubbing may take more time than he spent on completing the drawing work.

After all, he is not a professional animation production team. Even if it is outsourced, he must contact a dedicated team or individual in advance.

Guan Lang plans to upgrade his animation drawing skill level to level three. After mastering the use of various related software, he immediately starts planning animation production.

Really, there is no time for him to procrastinate, if he wants to catch up with Hua Guo College Student Animation Design Competition.

In order to ensure that work efficiency is not affected by external conditions, he spent more than 1 yuan to configure two desktop computers.

Software like RETAS does not have high requirements for hardware, so it does not need to be equipped with a very good computer.

If it is the production of post-production special effects, he should be able to barely make do with the one he is using now.

In addition, two digital screens were purchased.

As well as various props and equipment that need to be used in the work process.

Before the production started, nearly [-] yuan had already been spent.

Although this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for normal animation production, and labor costs and publicity costs are the big ones, but for an individual like him, the expenditure is actually quite large.

Fortunately, he can usually receive various illustration orders to earn extra money, which should be enough to subsidize animation production.

It can be said that he has genuinely used love to generate electricity, and he hopes that his first original work will be recognized.

Another two or three days passed.

Wu Yazhen also finished her second-term model in the city at the end of the semester and ushered in her summer vacation.

Guan Lang was so busy this week that he lost track of time.

The task of 1 single-leg squats has been completed. With the training effect of the task itself and the chance of a slight increase in strength after using the reward, his strength attribute has also increased to about [-]% of the E level.

Animated drawing skill reached level 3 (8/15).

Animation original painting level 3 (6/15)

Animation post-production special effects level 3 (2/15)

In addition to these, he feels that he has gained some abilities that are not quantified and displayed on the skill panel.

Except for grocery shopping, he is always in a state of staying out of the door. This kind of "practice" that is almost closed has made him thoroughly proficient in the functions of most animation production positions.

Of course, not without cost.

In order to achieve mastery of all types of proficiency in the production process as soon as possible, he used up the last four comprehension pills in his backpack.

With his understanding strengthened, his comprehension ability and learning ability have reached their peak.

While the Wuxing Pill was still working, he roughly completed the script design.

Different from the daily-oriented animation that he wanted to make at the beginning, he chose a relatively real-type fictional apocalyptic theme, which involved more combat elements.

The reason why he deviated from his original idea is also very simple. He realized that his biggest advantage at this stage is not solid art skills, super efficient work efficiency, nor the skills related to the sudden improvement.

It is the dynamic material library in his mind. The actions he draws, especially the fighting scenes, are unreasonable in terms of details and smoothness after comparing him with other mature commercial animation scenes on the market. The crushing is visible to the naked eye, and it is not an order of magnitude ahead.

This is a huge advantage brought about by his strong spirit, observation skills and martial arts attainments. He can naturally convert actions in the three-dimensional world into two-dimensional animation storyboard shots.

Although the pictures drawn are two-dimensional, they are extremely dynamic and impactful.

Although smooth character dynamics can greatly benefit all animations, it is undoubtedly the most eye-catching in combat-oriented animations.

A piece of fist-to-flesh, hearty, and exciting fighting scene can instantly improve word-of-mouth, and even become a god in the circle of animation fans.

The most obvious example is the No.60 five episodes of the biography of Bo people. The Chinese staff reasonably borrowed from the action elements of Wing Chun and Baguazhang to produce an unusually smooth fighting scene, which instantly warmed up this poorly-reputed work. The supervising director of the set animation has also gained great prestige and popularity among Huaguo animation fan circles.
