After Gu Xue entered the company, she unexpectedly did not feel the slightest sense of strangeness, but felt extremely kind, whether it was a messy and familiar workbench, or a dead fat with her right hand shaking rapidly with earplugs on her head...... Painters.

This is a normal animation company.,There's no painter like Emma.,There's no Aoi at all.,Erica is going on at all.,There's no gothic Lori style dress chief painting supervisor.,Here's either a big man with a tired face.,The white box is dead.,Don't try to trick me into doing animation.。

On the way to the workbench according to her memory, Gu Xue looked around, thinking of the white box animation of the earth, and couldn't help but complain a few words in her heart.

And subconsciously ignored herself, until a few young original artists who stood up to rest glanced at her seemingly casually, and then stared at her directly, which reminded her of her identity, she quickened her pace a little, came to the workbench, quickly pulled out a chair and sat down.

What may seem like a sign of shyness is actually a sign of shyness......

After sitting down, Gu Xue calmed down a little, and suddenly felt that her behavior just now was very stupid, and at the same time, she was a little speechless, she really shouldn't have entered any animation company like this, go to college......

However, these messy thoughts soon disappeared, because Gu Xue found that there were two cut bags on her desk, which contained "Uncle Ben's right leg is missing a big toe, but it is not a toe, but the 221cut, 222cut (shot, card) of the sixth episode of the Holy Sword".

Animation production is usually done in the unit of cards.,It can be understood as a small segment in the animation.,The length of time varies.,When you draw a storyboard, it's divided.,The number of cards in a new series is about 300~350.。

Generally speaking, when the storyboard is completed and approved by the supervisor, the performance will assign a few hundred cards of storyboards to the original artists, explain the relevant requirements, and then the original artists will start working.

For example, in the animation, there is a card of a female high school student waving her hand, then you must first determine what kind of shot it is, such as what is the angle of the camera, telescope lens or close-up, what is the perspective like, what characters and scenery are in it, and so on.

To put it simply, it is composition, because the storyboard is very grassy, and the scene is not refined, this step is to thoroughly determine the content of the picture, accurate enough to determine every detail of the finished picture, and the output has a professional term, called Layout, which translates to roughly mean design draft, referred to as L/O.

The original painting stage is to make the characters move, draw the key frames, or the picture of the female high school student waving her hand, L/O determines what angle to use, what characters and scenery are inside, and so on, and so on, and then start the formal original painting work.

The first original drawing was a female high school student.

The second original picture is to depict a female high school student moving her arm and raising her hand, for example, with her arm raised to her chest.

The third concept drawing is to draw a picture of a female high school student raising her hand, for example, raising her hand above her head.

The next picture is a female high school student's raised arm waving his palm, moving from one side to the other, and waving.

Of course, this is only a simplification of the meaning.

Anyway, these keyframes that determine the actions of the characters, before raising the hand, raising the hand, after raising the hand, from beginning to end, it is the job of the original artist to select the accurate keyframe position and draw the keyframe.

This step is very demanding on the control of time, the movements of the characters, and the changes.

After the original painting completes all the key frames of this shot, it is necessary to enter the animation link, and the animation is responsible for drawing the original painting into a line that can be colored and the middle cut, because the line of the original painting is often not closed, so the coloring cannot be painted, and it needs to be re-drawn. As for the middle cut, it is to add the middle frame according to the original picture.

For example, if you wave your arm, there are two original paintings, one hand on the left and one hand on the right, and you can see that the hand is moving, but if you don't cut it, it will feel weird, just like teleportation, so you need to add the necessary middle painting between the two original paintings to make the action look more smooth and coherent.

Generally speaking, L/O (composition) - original painting (drawing keyframes) - animation (drawing and cutting) is the basis for animation to 'move' in the painting process.

And Gu Xue is the second original painting, the so-called second original painting, which is a clear draft, refining the first original painting into an original painting that can be used for cutting in animation.

It sounds complicated.,It's actually a hard job.,To put it simply,The first original painting only draws the outline and action of the character.,Specific clothes.,Face.,Hair and other specific details are not drawn.,At this time, you need to refine the second original painting according to the character setting and other things.,The technical content is not high.,It's to pick out the details.。

Abbreviated as Kiyojihara.

Trouble with a horse.

The reason for adopting the system of the second original painting was that the original purpose was to make the "characters move" with "the least amount of effort" by "people who are good at drawing", but now......

Under normal circumstances, L/O, the first original painting, and the second original painting will be all responsible for one original artist, but this kind of original artist is becoming less and less.

The 2 cards that Gu Xue received are the first original paintings that have been completed, the outline action has been done, it seems to be a sports card, a small climax in the sixth episode of the animation, because no one can draw it, or specially ask the original artist outside the company to draw it.

Gu Xue was quite expectant at first, but after roughly flipping through the original painting of 2 cards, she was shocked.

What the hell is this?

It's really spicy to the eyes.

Even if you draw it in a hurry, the action design is a mess, some of the human contours are out of shape, and the movements of any holy sword are distorted......

How did such an original painting get approved by the performance and painting director......

Is it really a sacrificial work......

Gu Xue looked at the pile of original paintings on the table, showing a disgusted expression.

Picking out the details of the first original painting of such a and such a sketch, she couldn't arouse her interest.

But her hands are very itchy, because these 2 cards are very silly and fun, these two cards are close-ups of the protagonist, the toes fly out, glowing in mid-air, the protagonist runs and jumps, holds the toes and the toes transform into the holy sword, the protagonist swoops down with the holy sword, and the holy sword smashes on the ground.

Stupid, right? But it feels like a cult movie.

Gu Xue likes Cult movies, or like it on Earth.

She glanced at the first ready-made original drawing, thought about it for only two seconds, and then happily decided to throw it aside and redraw it herself.

It's okay to use it or not, anyway, she just wants to paint, and if it's a big deal, get out.

Pull out the law table (the timetable for painting, determine the time of each painting), take out the original drawing paper, buckle it on the positioning ruler, put on headphones, when Gu Xue picked up the pen, she smiled very happily, and suddenly felt that many things are actually not so bad, at least girls have hands......

It's just that after drawing for a while, she can't laugh anymore.

It's tiring to sit......

Boobs are in the way, how can they be repaired......
