My Animation Era

  Chapter 679 The Function of Ability Lock (Happy New Year)

   More than just a bald head...

  In fact, in domestic animation, many characters have problems with their head-to-body ratio. It can be said that children grow up watching "big-headed dolls".

   Is there any problem with this aesthetic?

  The answer is, no problem!

  The similar aesthetics of big-headed dolls have a long history. As early as in ancient times, many handicrafts such as clay sculptures and porcelain dolls had a little bit of "big head and small body".

   Among the folks, there is even a folk prop performance under the name of "Big Head Doll".

   To put it simply, it is a folk performance performed by a person wearing a huge "doll helmet", wearing a variety of festive and colorful costumes, holding a cattail fan or a dust whisk, to drive away ghosts and pray for a good harvest and good health.

   Another example.

  In many years of paintings, don’t they often depict images of boys and girls holding carp or “gold and silver ingots”?

  As for the image of the child holding a carp or ingot, the head-to-body ratio is not right, as the head is usually very big and conspicuous.

   It doesn't make sense to trace the origin.

   What Gu Miao wants to say is not whether the origin of the big head doll is a good or a bad meaning.

  He simply felt that animated characters with exaggerated head-to-body ratios would subtly affect many children, causing them to misjudge normal human figures.

   It doesn’t mean that the animation has to refer to the proportion of real human beings.

  It can be "exaggerated a little bit" appropriately.

   But not so exaggerated that it completely distorts the proportions of a normal human character.

   Wanbao version's bald and strong 3D modeling, in Gu Miao's opinion, is not a normal human being. The neck is as thin as chopsticks, but the head is ridiculously big.

   This should be fine tuned.

  He does not advocate distorted aesthetics. He thinks that an animation work should conform to the perception of most people.

   Today, if you make a doll with a big head, tomorrow you will have to make a boy with squinting eyes?

   Never!

  Gu Miao really can't accept it. The strange aesthetics that is divorced from the masses is destined to be a kind of evil heretics and not accepted by the general public.

   It's fine if it's normal.

  Being strong with a bald head is destined to have nothing to do with handsomeness, and his character image does not need to be overly modified. It is OK to change the head-to-body ratio to make it look more harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

  The planning seminar is almost over here.

  The rest of the work is nothing more than revising or filling in the content that has been discussed, and finally creating animation according to the plan and script.

  After packing up her things, Gu Miao went straight to Dimension Studio.

  The animation "Bear Infested" is an out-and-out 3D animation, and the production requires the contribution of Dimension Studio.

   Just…

  Dimension Studio is currently busy producing the animation of "Super Beast Armed Forces". Whether they can spare time and manpower depends on the progress of Huang Kun's project.

  …

   "Mr. Gu, sit down for a while."

   Knowing that Mr. Gu came to inspect the work, Huang Kun couldn't do without hospitality. After all, he is busy directing the synthesis of special effects for "Super Beast Armed Forces"!

  Gu Miao leaned over and took a look.

   What is being produced is the special effects of the animation "Super Beast Armor" for summoning, transformation or combination. He doesn't know much about this aspect. He only thinks that the special effects are very handsome and gorgeous.

   Especially the ability lock to summon super beasts.

   The name of the ability lock is actually very problematic, because the ability lock is not a "lock" at all, but a key?

   A tool to stimulate the supernatural energy in the body?

Ok!

   With such an explanation, it seems that the meaning of the ability lock is more complicated. But the meaning is the same, this thing is not a "lock", don't be misled by the name.

  Maybe at this time, some smart people will say, what kind of **** power lock, isn't that the "transformer" or "summoner" in the special drama?

wrong! Big mistake!

   Regarding this point, Gu Miao, who is one of the ultra-luxury screenwriters of "Super Beast Armed Forces", actually knows the truth.

  The ability lock, on the surface, is the summoner used by super beast fighters like Huo Linfei to summon super beasts to complete the transformation, but it is really not a summoner.

  Let’s do some logic first...

  The function of the ability lock is to stimulate and release the different energy, and the different energy is the key to summoning the super beast, or improving the combat effectiveness.

  So in the animation setting of "Super Beast Armed", even if there is no power lock, with strong belief and aroused power, super beast fighters can still summon super beasts.

   "Then what is the use of the ability lock?"

"Forehead!"

  Hearing Huang Kun's joking inquiry, Gu Miao pondered for a moment and gave her own answer: "A puzzle math toy for children?"

   Isn’t it an educational toy?

  Before children learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, or the nine-nine multiplication table, they should use this educational toy to familiarize themselves with the logic and methods of mathematical operations.

  Once the children have learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and the nine-nine multiplication table, what is the use of this mathematical educational toy?

  The same is true for power locks.

  Before the super beast fighters are not yet familiar with the method of stimulating and releasing supernatural energy, and do not have strong beliefs, use this to practice first.

  Looking back, my belief is stronger, and I know what is going on with the supernatural energy. Who still uses the supernatural power lock to summon and transform?

"Hahaha!"

   "That's an interesting statement..."

Huang Kun poured Mr. Gu a cup of coffee, called him to sit down on the sofa beside him, and said with a smile: "Does that mean that even those who get the power lock may not be able to become super beast warriors?" Woolen cloth?"

   "That's right."

   "The power lock is not linked to the super beast warrior. The threshold for becoming a super beast warrior is not the possession or use of the power lock."

  Gu Miao said with emotion: "The strong are not strong because the tools they use are strong, but because the people who use the tools are strong... Uh! What are you doing?"

  In the middle of speaking, Gu Miao suddenly saw Huang Kun picking up a pen and paper, who seemed to be memorizing something, with a puzzled expression on his face.

   "Write it down!"

   "That's a good sentence, it smells like Pluto. I'll write it down first and see if I can use it later."

  Huang Kun looked at Gu Miao with relish, blinked and said, "Keep talking, I love to hear it!"

  Gu Miao: "..."

   Say Hammer Say!

   Gu Miao, who originally wanted to continue with a few words of emotion, was rendered a little speechless by his operation, and for a moment forgot how to answer.

   Pluto... Oh yes!

  After reorganizing her thoughts, Gu Miao raised her head and asked Huang Kun: "You mentioned Pluto just now, but I forgot to ask you. Have you finished writing Pluto's lines?"

   "Done!"

  Huang Kun got up and walked to the workbench, rummaged through a large pile of documents, and quickly found what he wanted, and handed it to Gu Miao.

  Gu Miao took it and took a look.

   After only a few glances, without even taking a closer look, his expression immediately lost its tension.

   Really do it!

   Is this Pluto or Nietzsche?

  He just asked Huang Kun and the screenwriter team to refer to more philosophical books, but he didn't ask them to directly extract famous quotes from famous people!

  This preaching is too heavy...
