Best wishes for animation production

Chapter 54 From entry to escape

The background department is responsible for the background part of the animation. Unlike the original animators, they do it one by one and cannot move it.

The original artist is responsible for the moving parts of the picture.

Finally, the materials from the two groups of people were merged together.

This is destined that animation shots will never be as free as real shots, such as following shots, rotating shots, and panning shots. If you want the background to move with it, then you can only ask the original artist to draw the background layer together. , also known as background animation.

But this is so troublesome!

Although Gu Xue used a shot of following the protagonist running in the sixth episode of "This Man", she also used background animation. She drew the background layer, but it was a plain.

Now in the circus designed by Gu Xue, the protagonist starts flying around among the buildings, and then moves to the sky...

Gu Xue was afraid that she would die from overwork if she really had to rely solely on human imagination to draw such complex background animations.

As for the mid-section, she was just worried about the level of the animation staff. After all, it was a giant robot. Even if Gu Xue drew the rough outline position for them to refer to for mid-section, it might not be reliable.

"Miss Mihara, I regret it." Looking at the storyboard on the table, Gu Xue suddenly turned around with a sad face.

So complicated.

"..." Chisa Mihara was silent for a moment and said, "Do you need me to negotiate with the other party?"

"That's not necessary." Gu Xue sighed.

She just wanted someone to complain to.

As for how to solve the above two problems, she actually has some ideas.

Regarding the background issue, she planned to go to Misawa Hiroshi later and discuss it with the 3D department, asking them to make a model of the background and the effect of camera movement, and then draw it directly with reference to 3D, which would save a lot of imagination. Time to conceive of background animation.

She can concentrate on drawing her favorite giant robot.

As for the problem of mid-cutting, let’s not let the animation staff take over. It’s all original painting.

As long as you find the proper state of the moving object at each time point, taking three shots at a time (one original painting stays for three frames) can be very smooth!

Of course, the so-called "one shot two, one shot three, one shot four" depends on the situation and is not fixed. When drawing the original painting, it is usually mixed, such as the scene where the protagonist runs in the sixth episode of "This Uncle" , Gu Xue used a mix of one shot, two one shot, and four shots. As long as the key frames are found correctly, the smooth movement of the entire original painting is really no joke.

In fact, many original animators use one-shot-three. In addition to their ability to make characters move smoothly with just 8 shots per second, they also have the same idea as Gu Xue. They are afraid that problems will occur during the animation and their hard work will be ruined. The original painting was drawn just to be lazy or something, I had this idea, but it accounted for a very small proportion.

Why draw more when you can maintain a smooth flow by drawing eight original paintings.

As for the full animation, it's not the best. Without the diamond, it's better not to take the porcelain job.

Most hand-drawn animations are just a gimmick if they don't have enough construction time and are not done well. There are twenty-four original paintings per second, and it is extremely troublesome to keep the lines of the twenty-four original paintings from shaking.

Of course, there are also some who are very good at it.

Come on, Hayao Miyazaki.

In the animated movie Spirited Away, the scene where Bai Long pulls the heroine and rushes into the hotel is fully animated. The two protagonists lower their bodies and move forward. The flying skirts and the moving ground are so smooth. It's really amazing. .

But not everyone is Hayao Miyazaki, and there is no Ghibli here.

"Then..." Seeing that Gu Xue rejected her proposal, Mihara Chisa hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you need someone to clear Eryuan for you?"

She has been in this industry for a long time and knows how troublesome it is to design storyboards for Gu Xue. She is a little worried that Gu Xue will be overwhelmed by the intensity of such work.

However, she also knew that Gu Xue had never been very willing to let others touch her original paintings, so she was a little hesitant to ask.

I have to say that Miss Mihara changed a lot in front of Gu Xue.

"No……"

Hearing Miss Mihara's proposal, Gu Xue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it wouldn't be a bad thing to let others give it a try. You can't really do everything yourself. Now you are starting to try to get involved in performances and the like. If you really want to have the opportunity to do related work in the future, such as performance supervision, you can’t go on stage and draw by yourself, right?

That's nothing.

Moreover, it is not that she is unwilling to let others touch her original paintings. She does not have much resistance to this. She just feels that it is a bit embarrassing to let others clear Eryuan. After all, it is not a good job.

But since Miss Mihara mentioned it, it might as well give it a try...

"No, that's a good suggestion." Gu Xue thought about it in silence for a while, then changed her mind, "Go and find someone to give it a try. I happen to have a card of grassland here, because I plan to clean it myself. It's not very fine, but a bit rough. Emmm... ...You should find someone who has been in the industry for a long time and has passed the technical test. He should be able to clear it out. Then he can take a look at it and I will let you know if it needs to be corrected."

"Yes." Mihara Chisa nodded, quickly took the grassland from Gu Xue's hand, and then immediately turned around and left quickly.

It seemed that she was afraid that Gu Xue would regret it.

Gu Xue was stunned for a second, then smiled.

Li Feng is one of the original artists for the final episode of "This Old Man".

He was also responsible for the original painting of the drama part of the eleventh episode of "Invasion".

When he learned from Chisa Mihara that he wanted to clear Erhara, he was actually very reluctant.

This kind of low-skilled, not difficult, but very troublesome work would be better done by someone with a lower level of skills.

Although my performance in the final episode of "My Uncle" was not as outstanding as that of Miss JK, it was still remarkable. I heard that the show secretly praised the original painting I drew. Now you call me Qing Eryuan. Isn't that nonsense? …

But he was facing Miss Mihara, who was very tough-minded, and he couldn't refuse.

Being looked down upon by Miss Mihara, and feeling her gaze that seemed to be murderous, Li Feng finally couldn't hold it any longer, and reluctantly took the grassland and part of the design from her, but he still whispered a few words.

"What? I need to do such a simple job."

"There is no difference between easy and difficult work. Please don't say such words next time." Chisa Mihara said expressionlessly, "And this is the grassland of little...Miss Gu Xue. I took a look and it's not the simple thing you said." Please take your work seriously, I will come over in three hours to confirm the progress."

"Hey, is this the original painting painted by Miss Gu Xue?" Li Feng's eyes lit up, and the grudge in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Just like not many people in the company like Chisa Mihara, there aren't many people in the company who don't like girls like Gu Xue...

She is young and beautiful, and has no temper. She blushes occasionally when stared at, and is very cute. Although she doesn't seem to be able to do so recently, she looks more and more like JK.

JK, who doesn’t like it?

For a young man like Li Feng who is only in his twenties, his high school memories are still blurry. When he really sees Gu Xue, he will think of his own student days. It feels like seeing his first love...

Although he didn't have his first love.

But it still feels that way.

So if you ask him to clear other people's grasslands, he may be a little unhappy, but if you ask him to clear Gu Xue's grasslands, he will be very energetic and must do his best.

This kind of psychological state is very strange. It is probably caused by the desire for expression and the little expectation in my heart that even I imagine is unrealistic.

Seeing the other person's expression, Mihara Chisa suddenly felt very uncomfortable. She replied stiffly, turned around and left.

Li Feng didn't care, and tightly grasped the storyboard in his hand, like a patient who was suddenly excited.

Turning around in his chair, he put the grass in his hand on the workbench and picked up the pencil, full of energy.

Even the expectation in my heart that I thought was unrealistic emerged uncontrollably.

Let me show you my skills!

You will be amazed!

Miss Gu Xue!

Li Feng excitedly picked up the pencil three times in his heart, bent down and opened the grassland, ready to show his true skills.

but……

More than ten minutes later.

Li Feng still maintained the same posture, with his head lowered and holding the pencil without moving.

After maintaining this posture for a while, he finally moved.

He put down his pencil and turned a page.

What the hell is this! ?

Li Feng looked confused.

Another page turned.

What the hell is this! ?

Li Feng scratched his head severely, tilted his head back, and his expression was distorted.

After taking a moment to see the entire grassland, he slumped down in his chair, as if his body had been hollowed out.

After a while, he forced himself to cheer up, straightened up, picked up the pencil, cheered up again, and planned to give it a try first.

However, not long after drawing, he dropped the pencil again and slumped down in the chair again.

A line of clear tears slowly flowed down his cheek.

It turns out that the farthest distance in the world is not life and death, but the whole thing is placed in front of me, and I can't understand even one page.

After a while, Li Feng suddenly stood up from his chair, pulled out a blank piece of original drawing paper, wrote a sentence on it, and then turned around and left.

The back is sad.

Three hours later.

Miss Mihara came to his place and saw no one. She only found a note on his workbench that read.

"Farewell!"
