The next day, Li Kangping's team went to the studio rented by Walt Disney Studios on Haberon Boulevard.

The president of Walt Disney Studios is Walt Disney, the vice president is Roy Disney, and the drawing director is Ubu Ewaux. These three are the central characters of Walt Disney Studios.

Walt Disney took out a part of his shares, and Ubu Iwaux obtained the shares transferred by Walt Disney through a salary.

Making animation is a combination of design, painting, shooting, and editing, which is equivalent to painting art + film art.

Walt Disney's creative department --- this department consists of only two people, screenwriter Walt Disney and an associate screenwriter. The creative department designs the script and sketches the individual characters based on the script.

Ubu Iwaux has the largest number of people in the painting department, including cartoonists, assistant painters, colorists, and other artistic staff.

The task of the drawing department is to draw around 5,000 drawings based on the script and sketches of the creative department--- which is usually the number of drawings for a seven-minute cartoon.

These drawings should not only follow the movement of the characters or animals appropriately, but also rhythmically break down the movements into states that are rigorously structured, consistent in form, and gradually change in sequence, and can vividly express emotional details. The volume of work in the painting department is extremely high, the nature of the work is extremely important, and the quality of a cartoon depends largely on the level of work of the painting department.

There are three people in the photography department, directed by Walt Disney, and two photographers.

If the painting department is doing a good job, the photography department is relatively easy. The task of the photography department is to use the cinematograph camera to make these thousands of drawings into cartoons according to certain rules.

At this point, the animation was actually a half-finished film of several hundred feet, and the half-finished product needed to be edited into a dailies.

Today's directors and producers are almost all the same person or team, and Walt Disney uses an editing machine to edit film copies into dailies, and all the work before the screening of an animated film is done.

The creative department, the painting department, the photography department, and the editing department make up the main creative team of Walt Disney Studios.

At present, Walt Disney Studios has a total of 31 employees, including 27 creative teams.

The remaining four people are the commercial team, including Vice President Roy Disney, as well as a secretary, a treasurer, and a salesman based in New York.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. The Walt Disney Studios are smaller, but the functional framework of each department and unit is in place.

Li Kangping's sound film team carefully watched and learned the production process of the animated film, with Walt Disney as the narrator.

"Although live actors are also used, in the filming process of cartoons, cartoon drawings are basically shot, so Dr. Li is right when he says that if you want cartoons to 'speak', you should use post-recording technology." It dawned on Jack.

Li Kangping's training courses in New York were all about theoretical knowledge, and he popularized the basic concepts for his 10 engineers who developed sound film equipment, and now, these engineers have come to Hollywood, they are immersed in the observation and learning of real objects, and have a specific understanding of the production of cartoons, which is very helpful for them to develop recording equipment.

Walt Disney explained the animation process while also thinking about new questions, he said: "My concept of the recording studio is only at the level of the drawings that Dr. Li gave me, so what equipment should be in the recording studio?" How do we use recording equipment to add sound to the cartoon and ensure that the picture and sound are perfectly combined? I mean, we have a complete production process for silent live-action films, animations, and we buy the equipment and tools we need according to this process. However, we don't know the process of making a sound film--- because there is no such process. So, I didn't know what kind of recording equipment and tools to incorporate. ”

Li Kangping said: "First of all, we have to make a clear point of view, in the field of film art, sound is based on the picture, and sound is the supplement to the picture. It is easy to imagine that even if the sound film technology is mature, the script creativity, shooting, post-editing and other homework links are still the most important part of a film work. As for the flow of sound films, this is an artistic thing, and of course it is Walter who builds the flow of sound films. The task of our lab is to develop all the recording equipment we can imagine, and then Walter you choose the recording equipment that you think will work. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the creative design, pre-shooting, and post-production process of the film in silent mode, and the more detailed the better. ”

Walt Disney learned film directing skills while in Kansas, where he learned directing knowledge and techniques for live-action silent films.

Although he is currently working in animation production, Walt Disney also knows live-action films, and he also uses live-action actors in his Alice cartoons, and he also shoots live-action movie commercials, such as Hera's mahjong live-action movie commercials.

Walt Disney took Li Kangping's team to the studio rented a studio, which has an area of 500 square meters and a height of 30 meters.

"Almost all of our film is 35 millimeters, and the film is shot at 24 frames per second." Walt Disney stood at the camera and patiently explained the knowledge of the film.

The U.S. unit of measurement follows the British unit, and many units of measurement are not decimal systems.

In the field of scientific research in the United States, scientists are connected to the world, and scientists may verbally say inches and feet when doing experiments, but when they write papers, they must be millimeters and meters.

Li Kangping's team is a scientific research team, so when it comes to the technical parameters of the film, everyone uniformly uses the internationally accepted unit of measurement.

Walt Disney continued: "We all know that in the early days of film, the film was shot by holding the camera in a fixed position and shooting the film in one go. Later, some people tried to put the camera in different positions, and found that the combination of different methods and different combinations of film lenses shot from different angles and different distances can produce amazing artistic effects, which is the montage technique. Because of the storyboard montage, cinema truly became an art. ”

Li Kangping looked around and said, "The technique of picture montage is very mature, so can we invent sound montage?" Now, Walter, excuse me to make a scene. ”
