Dead house is amazing

Chapter 188 Animation Production
"So why are you reading Master Jiichiro Umehara's book again?" Akari Tachibana asked curiously as she glanced at Hoshihiro Kazama.

At this time, she said against the general.

"What book is Jiichiro Umehara's?" Asami Mizuno asked curiously.

Kazama Xingfei reluctantly turned the cover of the book over and showed it to them, "Na!"

He thinks that it is hard to tell from the title that this is a book about animation production.

""Life in Anime"?" Akari Tachibana read.

"Well, it can be regarded as Mr. Umehara's autobiography." Kazama Xingfei turned the page to the text and said casually.

It is true to say that it is an autobiography. It contains the animation production process and methods of Umehara Jiichiro combined with his own real situation.

Generally speaking, the animation classification in modern society can be divided into traditional animation mainly drawn by hand and computer animation mainly based on computer in terms of production technology and means.

However, Umehara Jiichiro’s era was naturally traditional animation based on hand-drawing.

Because of the popularization of computer technology, computer-based computer animation has gradually gained the upper hand, but most of them are used for game animation and sub-supply animation.

Computer animation is generally produced with 3D animation, and 2D animation is also used in places where computers are used, but most of them are mainly hand-painted.

The popularity of hand-drawn animation is always stronger than most computer animation.

Especially when you have a group of excellent painters.

Kazama Xingfei remembers that before he time traveled, there was a purely hand-drawn Chinese-style animation that was made with the artist's strong Chinese painting skills and a lot of time, and successfully detonated the domestic ACG industry.

It's just a pity, precisely because drawing by hand takes a lot of time.

Moreover, the main creative team of that animation was very small, and the director even took on multiple roles, including the theme song, so the number of animation episodes produced was very small.

This makes Kazama Hoshiki a little regretful, if the second season of that animation is produced, he will definitely watch it.

It's a pity that he may be hard to see in his life.

He continued to look down.

The book is the first to say that a complete cartoon can be roughly divided into five steps: copywriting script, art setting, original storyboard, animation production, dubbing and editing.

The first is the copywriting script. Although Hoshihime Kazama's "Family Teacher" already has an original work, this point needs to be cut and coherent.

The styles of animation and manga are different. Unless you plan to make a long-term production like the three migrant workers, the plot will be cut.

For example, the "Family Teacher" animation in the previous life has some discrepancies with the original.

Umehara Jiichiro said in the book that the script of animation is very different from that of TV and movies.

In animation scripts, complex dialogue should be avoided as much as possible, and the focus should be on storytelling with screen actions. The best animation wins through funny actions.

The director draws comic-like sketches based on the written script to express the actions described in the script.

The second step is the art setting, setting the main character modeling, picture tone, picture style and so on of the film.

For character setting, first draw a two-dimensional image design draft of the character in the story.

AI is generally used for vector graphics, and PS is used for hand-painted styles.

Under normal circumstances, according to the copywriting script, first draw all the characters that appear in the short film, and then draw a page or two to determine the color tone and so on.

Art setting is a very important process, usually done by the leader of the design team.

After the art setting is done, start to draw the original storyboard in large quantities according to the script.
"It's rare to see you like reading books." Tachibana Mingli said with some surprise.

Hoshihime Kazama focused on dual purposes, while reading the book to learn the animation production process, she replied, "Reading is good for the body and mind, and I usually read too."

"Mr. Xingfei usually reads comic books." Moonlight beside him said helplessly.

She and Kazama Xingfei spent a lot of time together on weekdays, so she naturally knew what kind of books Kazama Xingfei usually liked to read.

"Are comic books not books? Don't underestimate ACG!" Kazama Xingfei said with a smile.

"So what is Hoshihime-kun talking about in Mr. Jiichiro Umehara's book?" Asami Mizuno leaned forward curiously.

She looked at the words in the book and said, "Animation shot design is an important part of embodying the animation narrative language style, framing the logic of the story, and controlling the rhythm."

Kazama Xingfei closed the book next moment, coughed and said, "Just a brief understanding of Master Umehara's life, it's nothing."

But it was too late, Tachibana Akari and the others had already heard it.

Moonlight suddenly woke up.

【So Hoshihime-kun is reading a book about animation production? 】Moonlight finally remembered what Miyazaki Kaoru said before.

Akari Tachibana looked at Hoshihime Kazama with deep eyes, "Are you looking at the animation production method?"

"You can't be...?" Her beautiful eyes became more and more suspicious.

"Just looking at it out of boredom." Kazama Xingfei coughed and tried to explain.

"But Star Concubine should be watching light novels or dramas when you're bored!" Said Mizuno Asami, who was on the side, with wide-eyed eyes.

"It's just a moment of curiosity, and I've finished watching the latest dramas." Kazama Xingfei once again pretended to be calm and explained.

Because there really wasn't much to see in the recent May episode, even the second season of "Prison Front", the only true god appointed in May, died smoothly due to unfinished ending.

Now that it is close to the middle and late May, the latest episodes of the two or three fan dramas that can be followed have all been chased.

Therefore, Kazama Xingfei's statement is quite reasonable.

"Really. What about the manga?" Mizuno Asami asked again curiously, "I remember Mr. Xing Fei, didn't you read a manga called "Sword Key" two days ago?"

"I've finished watching too." Kazama Xingfei's eyes flustered, but his expression remained unchanged.

"But according to your personality, Mr. Xingfei, even if you haven't read manga or drama, you will still read light novels?" Mizuno Asami rolled her eyes and said again.

"There are no good light novels recently."

"But Mr. Xingfei, wouldn't you go over the wall and go to that very famous website in Huaguo to read Huaguo's novels?"

"I've finished reading it too!" A trace of cold sweat broke out on Fengjian Xingfei's forehead.

"I see," Mizuno Asami said with deep meaning in her eyes.

"Mr. Xingfei, are you thirsty?" Moonlight at the side asked at the right moment.

"A little bit." Kazama Xingfei's eyes lit up, and she said hastily.

"You guys, don't ask Mr. Xing Fei, he is still a patient!" Moonlight "reminded" at this time.

Then she poured a glass of water for Xingfei Kazama.

"Really." Tachibana Mingli's eyes seemed to have deep meaning.

Mizuno Asami looked like she already understood.
