At this year's Youth Innovation Awards, the "perfect picture quality" work "Dog Eggs" that shocked a lot of people showed another possibility of so-called "animation" for the audience.

It also refreshes the system's cognition in this regard.

What is Animation?

Forget about the complicated definitions, just take it literally.

It's the "picture in motion."

But do the "pictures" here have to be those that ordinary people think they are?

No, not necessarily. ===『New Book Recommended Reading:』===.

Only a certain arrangement is required, and the text itself is enough to form an effect similar to that of the picture.

The use of sentence descriptions to guide the reader to think of the picture is what is written, which we call "picture sense".

It's like a sentence like "a full moon hangs on the treetops, and the hazy moonlight pours down all over the world", anyone who sees it can easily make up the corresponding picture in their mind.

There is no need for even more descriptions to add the amount of information.

Another example is the poem "The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river", which carries a strong sense of imagery.

The delicate and fragile human brain can automatically turn words into images.

But it's also based on the fact that everything that is written about is common.

If you write about something that the reader has never seen before, it will be difficult to imagine it.

At this time, more detailed descriptions are needed to help the brain associate.

Describe its appearance, shape, and material...... Corresponding to what exists in the reader's memory, it uses various rhetorical devices to give a vivid impression.

It's like if you write a "Cthulhu", a normal person must be asking "what the hell is this" with a confused face.

But if you throw out the more detailed descriptions of Cthulhu's appearance, the reader can make associations based on what they already know.

Wrote: "A giant with a green, soft head like an octopus with countless tentacles, tattered bat-like wings on its back, and a body as huge as a mountain." ”

In this way, is it conceivable?

Using words to create a sense of picture is an extremely simple and difficult subject, which many writers will never see its extreme in their lifetime.

However, if only the imagination of the picture is required, there is a means of trickery.

- Arrangement of words.

Or rather......

"Words instead of things".

Writing about the moon hanging on a tree, does it really need such a troublesome description?

No, it's completely different.

Find a blank background, write a big word "tree", and then write the smaller word "moon" on top of the "tree", and write as many "moonlight" as you want in the blank space next to it.

- Imagine this picture.

Is it a "sense of picture"?

What metaphors, what writing, what rhetoric, there is no need at all!

Replace objects with words and throw them on the screen to arrange them.

The corresponding "animation" is also very easy to make.

It is enough to make these "words" move.

No need to paint, yes, no need to paint.

Truly minimalist animation.

At the same time, it tests the brain replenishment ability of producers and viewers.

"Dog Eggs" is just such a work.

It doesn't give the viewer any actual picture.

The adventures that the teenager has experienced, the betrayals he has encountered, the facts of his determination......

All the pictures and stories are in the hearts of every viewer.

Maybe many people are blowing this animation in the comment area, blowing about the picture level of "god-level production", "crowning the world", and "shocking the soul", just because they follow the trend and play stalks, they just think it's interesting, just to pit more people to watch it.

But there must be someone who really says it.

Because they saw it.

The makers did not draw it.

But they did see it, through their own imagination, and saw those pictures that were perfect.

Happened on the continent called "Hot and Sour Noodles", like a joke, a legend created by a brave man called "Goudaner" and a demon king called "Peanut Butter".

"This time, come and kill justice. ”

- "Dog's Egg"

"If I'm not mistaken, system, your evaluation of it is 'spicy chicken work'. Guan Li has not forgotten the system's criticism.

"My mind has changed a long time ago. Under the relationship of interest, the system replied without hesitation, ""Dog Egg" is really a very good work, and its creative form is very referential. ”

"......" Heh, system.

"I'm going to the Youth Innovation Awards right now to vote for "Dog Eggs". "The system is full of sincerity, the kind that is very sincere.

It's a pity that Guan Li can't see it.

He continued to focus his attention on Endless.

Although it is not the same as expected, this form of "text game" is more in line with the setting of "cognitive filter".

Bonus points to the system!

Ye Lingxing didn't find a novice guide and entered the game directly, looking like he was planning to explore the gameplay by himself.

He can now choose between the "Three Families" - three initial 003-biological motherboards, SCP-008-zombie virus, and SCP-217-clockwork virus.

As a newcomer to the Foundation who was concentrating on 3999-related documents, Ye Lingxing spent a lot of time researching the Foundation's world setting, organizational structure, departmental divisions, and so on, but he didn't read much about the SCP file series of this main body.

- In the face of these three SCPs, his eyes were darkened, and he didn't know anything.

It's okay, keep playing.

Games are such things, playing and playing, and you know how to toss.

The biological motherboard looks a bit forced, and the clockwork virus sounds very powerful, so choose the zombie virus!

Well, it's good to be steady.

It's still a classic, and at a glance you know that it will turn the infected into zombies - if 008 in the Foundation is similar to the "zombie virus" in the conventional sense.

"Game loading......"

Ye Lingxing and Guan Li looked at the loaded progress bar together and were silent.

This "progress bar" ...... It's a progress bar indeed.

It's just a hollow "progress bar"!

The onboarding process is the process of filling in those three words!

This is simply the ultimate in the principle of "pure wordplay"!

"System, you're a genius. ”

"Administrator, are you complimenting me?"

"It's me who underestimates you. Guan Li resisted the urge to cover his face.

Even Ye Lingxing didn't say anything, which means that this game can still be watched, right?

Fortunately, the loading process lasted less than ten seconds, and the game officially began as the screen switched.

"Warning!G2 site is under antimemetic attack!"

"Site G2 has been affected by the antimemetic effect. ”

"SCP-008-Zombie Virus Containment Breach. ”

"The Foundation has lost knowledge and information about the G2 site. ”

"The Foundation has lost knowledge and information about SCP-008. ”

"SCP-008 has been discovered by Mobile Task Force 'Paradise'. ”

"SCP-008 has been discovered by the Department of Anti-Conception. ”

"SCP-008 is spreading. ”

A series of initial prompts cut across the screen, and finally freeze on a sentence -

Please select what you are going to do. ”

Ye Lingxing looked at the words on the screen and was numb.
