My Animation Era

The heroine can't be changed!

Gu Miao has grown up so much, and has watched so many animations or TV dramas, and has never seen the operation of changing the heroine halfway through.

Take "Re: Life in Another World from Zero" as an example, Rem is so popular in the later stage, isn't the number one heroine still Emilia!

As for the change of heroine in the later stage of "Detective Conan" circulated on the Internet...

That's just an illusion created by the "Ke Ai Party". In fact, the official match is still "Xinlan", and it hasn't changed at all.

There have been a few live-action dramas.

However, changing the heroine in a live-action drama is usually a move made by the crew in desperation because the actor who plays the "heroine" is unable to participate in the follow-up filming due to schedule, illness or other reasons.

For example, the classic "Guiman heroine" incident is almost like this.

Normally.

An animation, no matter how popular and popular the female supporting role is, it is impossible to upgrade from supporting female role to heroine.

Not to mention, the heroine is Moon Hare!

Unless Gu Miao's brain was flooded, or his "love-hate" towards Xiaotu was blackened, otherwise it was impossible for him to do such an outrageous thing.

But women can't take the initiative...

A hundred-year-old leftover girl who has not yet appeared on the stage, and feels that her mother is neglectful and her father is too doting, resulting in an unpleasant personality, can make a move.

That's right, it's the little bunny!

For this little rabbit's daughter, the little lady in the future world, whether it is the new version or the old version of animation, the character design is actually not very pleasing.

"Electra" is one aspect.

On the other hand, as a "cute" character, her cuteness is not prominent enough, and there is a serious sense of separation between the character design and her parents.

Of course, the little rabbit has not yet appeared!

Gu Miao just came up with the idea of ​​modifying the character design of "Little Rabbit", but he had to discuss with the animation production team before making a decision on how to change it.

Take it easy now...

Compared with the little lady in the future world, she is obviously the savior of Chuangjie Mountain, and now she needs Gu Miao's help.

...

"Dragon Fighter" comics are on fire!

As a result, after the news of "animation production decision" was released, a group of comic fans came to ask Gu Miao almost every moment, how is the animation production going?

This made him a little irritable.

Hurry up all day long!

Uncle Gu just bought wheat seeds, and they haven't been planted in the ground yet! Wait patiently for a while, wait for Uncle Gu to collect the wheat, and then ask "Is the cake out of the pan?" OK?

He is a quick shooter!

But no matter how fast the gun is, it has to go through the process of "loading the bullet"! Right now, the production team of "Dragon Fighter" has just been formed, and it is still far from completion.

Don't say anything else.

Because it was the first time to produce a "robot" theme animation, before starting the production, Gu Miao, the director, had to call a brief meeting with the original artist, animator, background designer, color designer, sound effectist and photographer.

The content of the meeting is very simple:

Gu Miao, the director, and Nan Tong, the author of the original work, will jointly analyze the "audio-visual solution" of the animation "Dragon Fighter".

The so-called audio-visual program.

In layman's terms, it is how to use color, composition, movement, camera and sound effects to create a perfect viewing experience and tell the story described by the script well.

This is a process of "stripping away the cocoon"!

To put it bluntly, doing animation is similar to "building blocks". The script is the assembly diagram of building blocks, and the building blocks represented by each link are put together in strict accordance with the drawings, and finally assembled into a work.

Any problem in any link will eventually affect other links and destroy the originally designed "audio-visual plan".

for example!

When designing the audio-visual plan, after saying "the protagonist calls out the ultimate move", give the villain a close-up shot of the "horrified expression" on his face, insert "Nani"'s mouth shape and dubbing, and make a "backward" movement... …

If one of the links is missing, will the final film effect be the same as the planned plan?

This is the "process"!

Disassemble a segment of the scene into a shot script, and disassemble it into many parts, each performing its own duties. After the final product is out of the oven, it is then assembled together.

The entire process is not static.

As long as the director or the management is willing, they can shoot whatever they want without going through the process. But the consequence of doing so is that the work efficiency is greatly reduced and the cost is not controlled.

so……

Just go through the process honestly.

Relatively speaking, "Dragon Fighter" has saved a lot of processes because of the original comics as a reference.

The production of the first episode was quite worry-free.

Perhaps the only thing that gave Gu Miao a headache was the redesign of the "Rainbow Bridge" bug.

In the original animation and the Nantong version of the manga, "Rainbow Bridge" is a very ordinary bridge with nothing special about it.

But Gu Miao felt something was wrong.

The rainbow is a major feature of Chuangjie Mountain. It runs through the important background of the whole play. It is just an ordinary bridge. Does this make sense?

"Isn't it enough to shine?"

The first original artist was puzzled: "Could it be that there is still a need to add some art design to this bridge?"

"No no no!"

Gu Miao explained: "It's not that there is a problem with the current art design of the Rainbow Bridge, what I mean is that the Rainbow Bridge connects different layers of Chuangjie Mountain..."

One color represents one layer!

Is it possible to adjust the color of the Rainbow Bridge according to the progress of Xiaodu's strategy "Chuangjieshan copy"?

For example...

The Rainbow Bridge starts out solid gray!

After Xiaodu successfully conquered the first level, the originally dim "red" on the Rainbow Bridge suddenly regained its brilliance.

Then orange, yellow, green... It was not until Xiaodu cleared the seventh level that the Rainbow Bridge was completely restored to its original state.

"Is it like this?"

The original artist scratched his head and said: "It's easy to do, just pay attention when coloring. But Mr. Gu, is there any point in this?"

Of course it makes sense!

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "The color change of the Rainbow Bridge can just reflect the actual situation of Chuangjie Mountain."

The original animation also has a similar setting.

This is also the point where he is very speechless...

MD Chuangjie Mountain has completely fallen, and other rainbows have lost their luster, and even disappeared. Just this broken Rainbow Bridge, is it still so dazzling?

Are you worthy of Chuangjie Mountain?

Not sensible at all!

It can only be said that under the background of the overall fall of Chuangjie Mountain, the Rainbow Bridge is still so glamorous, and it is "out of place".

as a partner in justice.

It is necessary and also responsible for Gu Miao to deepen the linkage between the Rainbow Bridge and Chuangjie Mountain, so that it can be "dressed in hemp and filial piety" for Chuangjie Mountain, and there will be a change in color.

Of course, this is just a small problem.

Except for the "color change" of the Rainbow Bridge, the overall plot of the first episode is not much different from the comic version.

The biggest change is in the music...
