My Animation Era

  As the end of the year approaches, there are too many worries.

  The second season of "Things About That Rabbit That Year" was just broadcast two days ago. Due to its excellent reputation, Gu Miao barely smiled.

  But then, the planning seminar on the animation "Bear Infested" made him fall into a sad state again.

   "Isn't this okay?"

"no!"

  From Dimension Studio, the 3D modeler who was temporarily transferred shook his head and said: "Mr. Gu! Your idea is feasible, but it doesn't look good when you do it this way."

  “A bear can have a bear-like appearance, but if it is too animal-like, it will lose the attractiveness that an animated character should have.”

  Gu Miao fell into deep thought.

  At the planning seminar, he proposed to make the images of the two bears, Xiong Daxiong Er, more realistic, that is, more bear-like.

   I didn't know that everyone was against it.

  In their words, animation is not a TV series, and animated characters do not have to follow the logic of reality. There are not no realistic animations, but the general response is very mediocre.

   Especially Xiong Da Xiong II, who is the protagonist of an animation that is an animal...

  This kind of animal protagonist must be endowed with "humanity", that is, to make him resemble a human being, otherwise the performance will be awkward and boring.

for example.

  Take the "Tom and Jerry" that the North American branch is working on as an example, assuming that Tom and Jerry have no "human" characteristics and are exactly the same as ordinary cats and ordinary mice, is this animation still interesting?

   Another example.

  Assuming that "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" does not create human characteristics, Big Big Wolf is just a hungry wolf that wants to eat sheep, not a good husband or father, let alone a great inventor who is either bad or bad...

  Pleasant Goat is just an ordinary sheep that likes to eat green grass. At best, it is a little smarter. It doesn't respect teachers so much and is not so lively and cheerful.

   Then, does anyone still like to watch "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"?

   "You are right..."

  Gu Miao is not the kind of stubborn person. He can listen to other people's suggestions and advice as long as they are reasonable.

   This is indeed his poor consideration.

  He just thought that in the animation "Bear Infested", Bear Big Bear II is a bit too "anthropomorphic", and needs to add a little bit of bear characteristics.

  But he didn't expect one thing, that is, Xiong Da Xiong Er is so popular because of his anthropomorphism and his own distinctive character characteristics.

  If it was really ferocious like a bear, wouldn't all the children cry in fright?

   "Listen to you, Xiong Da Xiong Er should try to behave more like a human being."

  Gu Miao pondered: "What about the bald Qiang? Does the image of the bald Qiang need to be adjusted?"

   "I feel fine!"

"Seconded…"

  Everyone glanced at the bald Qiang 3D modeling image displayed on the PPT, and nodded.

  Under the big felt hat with turned fur, a face with extremely distinctive features instantly caught everyone's eyes.

  Big nose, upturned chin, a pair of sly eyes, and a conspicuous mustache on the upper lip...

  This face is still very recognizable, at least at first glance, it gives people the impression that "this guy has a bad stomach, he must not be a good thing."

   For this 3D modeling, everyone has no objection, and it can even be said that it was unanimously approved.

   Just…

   Some art designers think that the outfit of Bald Qiang is inappropriate. And the reason he gave was that it seemed too monotonous.

   "Is this winter clothing?"

"right!"

   "What about summer? What about autumn?"

"Forehead…"

   Obviously, everyone has subconsciously ignored the need for animated characters to change their costumes "with the seasons".

   This should be a matter of habit.

  When I was making animations such as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Guobao Special Attack", the main characters almost used a set of costumes until they died.

   They don't wear clothes, after all.

  In "Digimon", "Dragon Fighter", "Pokemon" and "Yu-Gi-Oh" and other works, although the protagonist is a normal human being, he doesn't change his clothes very much.

  After all, the timeline of the storyline passes very slowly, and it seems that many adventures have been experienced, but the storyline may only have passed a few days?

  Clothes are changed more frequently, and animations that can see the change of "seasonal temperature" should be only a few works such as "The Prince of Tennis", "Detective Conan" and "Sailor Moon".

  Brother Qiang needs clothes!

  The two stinky bears don’t care about whether they wear clothes or not, regardless of season or season.

  Ke Bald Qiang, as an ordinary human being, should add clothes in cold weather and short-sleeved slippers in hot weather. These should be necessary.

   The timeline for bears is not long.

   If I have to say it, don’t watch so many episodes of Bald Qiang and Xiong Daxiong, but in the animation, maybe only a few months have passed?

   Okay, this is a bit of a bullshit.

  According to the theater version of "New Year", Bald Qiang and Xiong Da Xiong Er have been fighting for a long time, and it must have been a few years.

  After all, on the phone, Qiang’s mother said that Qiangzi hadn’t come home for several years...

  Then here comes the problem!

  Since the duration of this struggle between man and bear needs to be calculated on a yearly basis, the clothes of the bald-headed Qiang must change with the "season".

   "You don't need too many clothes."

  Gu Miao explained: "Bald Qiang is a poor ghost, he doesn't have that much money, and he is reluctant to spend so much money on clothes."

   "What we have to do is to let him appropriately add some changes in clothing according to the seasonal changes shown in the animation."

   "And hats..."

   Speaking of this, Gu Miao also wanted to laugh.

   Bald Qiang, as the name suggests, is a bald image. He often wears a hat to conceal his baldness.

  From the most classic large felt hat, to construction safety helmets, and yellow-green camouflage hats, there are several styles in total!

  Brother Qiang changes his hats more frequently than his clothes!

  Gu Miao sometimes suspects that Brother Qiang may not have a few serious clothes in his closet, but he definitely has a lot of helmets and hats.

certainly…

   No matter how many hats there are, there are not as many chainsaws as Brother Qiang. Boss Li asked him to cut trees, but he didn't know how many chainsaws he had equipped, but he couldn't finish it.

   These are fine.

  Chainsaws, axes, pickup trucks, etc. can also be said to be production tools, and it is normal for lumberjacks to prepare more.

  Bullets that can't run out...

   It can only be said that Boss Li, who has never shown his face in the play, and whose identity is quite mysterious, may be some military giant.

   How about a family background that can support Brother Qiang’s bullet consumption?

   Pulling away!

  Back to the character image of Bald Qiang, Gu Miao is quite satisfied with everything, but she always feels that something is wrong.

  What's wrong?

  At first, he didn't remember it, until someone next to him asked: Is Bald Qiang's head-to-body ratio wrong?

  He just realized it!

  Big head doll...

   That's right! Bald Qiang's head-to-body ratio is wrong, and this head is too big! On which planet do humans grow up like this?

   In the past two days, entrusted by the elders, I am in charge of continuing the family tree, and I have a bit of a headache...
