Chapter 21 Money Is So Easy to Make?
The significant increase in hardware configuration has brought about a huge increase in productivity.
The 'dimensional' system is even better when it has a powerful carrier. The most straightforward manifestation is that when performing intelligent calculations, the efficiency is greatly improved.
Before, Fan Zhe was actually very worried about whether he could complete the project of the remastered version of "Full Time Master" before the deadline came. He can work hard himself, but the computer performance is here, and it takes a lot of time to make a feature film, and the 'dimensional' calculations will also take a lot of time. Relying on the broken notebook before, how long it will take is still a question mark.
Now, shotguns for guns! Fan Zhe was full of confidence.
As if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he continued to devote himself to his work.
At present, most of the original character drawings and scene designs of "Full Time" have been completed, and the work of Fan Zhe and Miller has been invested in the drawing of key frames.
The process of making CG animation and 2D animation is slightly different.
The production of CG animation requires a series of steps such as modeling calculation, action design calculation, light and shadow and material calculation, etc., and finally combines the semi-finished project file, and then takes it to render it to be completed.
In the middle, the modeling algorithm requires the concept art design, and the later work requires a large number of illustration-level shots and some text descriptions. These things, when the 'dimension' performs intelligent calculus, play a role in guiding the direction.
But making anime is different.
In the production process of 2D animation, Fan Zhe needs to draw key pictures and import them into the 'dimension', and then directly by the 'dimension' will calculate and supplement the content between the key pictures by himself, and there is no need to render it in the future, and the finished product will be produced directly.
It's kind of like traditional animation, but it's pretty much the same.
In the production of traditional animation, an excellent master artist designs the key frames in the animation, and then the assistant completes the drawing of the intermediate frames.
Here, in general animation, there are many ways to save effort.
For example, in some animations, when the character speaks, as long as the mouth is moving. Even some voiceovers and brain voices, the picture is simply stationary, and it doesn't move.
The famous EVA, a certain episode and a certain picture were simply frozen for sixty-four seconds, saving countless funds and also entering the history of animation; A certain anime, known as 'Memory Ninja', the later memory plot, can spend most of the time in an episode playing things that have been released before.
This kind of means saves effort and time, and saves money crucially.
This question does not directly determine the quality of a work, but in any case, there is a price to be paid for doing so. It is inevitable that word of mouth will decline and be complained about.
And like some 2D animated films, the kind that have to be released in theaters, this kind of problem almost or rarely occurs.
This in itself is a manifestation of how well it is made.
In the 'dimensions', there can be no problems like the ones described above.
The powerful calculation ability of 'Dimension' completely replaces the work of the middle assistant, and there is no need for this method to save money.
And if that's all it is, the 'dimension' is not that great, but the most terrifying thing about it is that its calculus ability, and even to a certain extent, has replaced the work of the main beauty.
Fan Zhe only needs to import a small number of key images of large scene transformation, and all the other processes can be left to the 'dimension' to solve.
In general animation works, a fierce and exciting battle scene is bound to be a lot of work. There are a lot of actions and changes, which means that a lot of key pictures need to be drawn, and the completion of the middle screen also requires a lot of manpower to complete.
But under the calculation of 'dimensions', only one or two diagrams, with characters and scenes, are enough. All the combat moves, 'Dimensions' can be successfully completed according to the pre-imported text description.
This saves a lot of effort.
However, although the workload is much less than normal, since there are only two people in Fan Zhe and Miller, the workload is still very large.
But fortunately, I and Miller can draw at the same time, and after drawing one, we will import one into the 'dimension' system, and the two tasks will be carried out at the same time. In addition, the keyframe accuracy required for anime is completely different from the illustrations that require a large number of detailed and delicate materials for CG animation production. Otherwise, Fan Zhe and Mi Le would not be able to finish the painting.
……
Before I knew it, it was late July, and the entire animation project was nearing completion.
With the power of dimensions, 2D animation production is much simpler and faster than CG animation.
At present, there is still a backlog in the 'dimension', and there are not many parts waiting for the calculation, and some other key pictures that have not yet been drawn, Fan Zhe doesn't need to worry about himself, Mi Le is doing it.
What Fan Zhe needs to start thinking about now is the follow-up to this project.
Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, which is true, but in this era, it may not be applicable.
The quality of a work determines the upper limit of the work, but if the publicity is not enough, the lower limit will be infinitely low.
It may be a better choice to find a company and do some marketing.
Fan Zhe has already passed the second stage of middle school, and he will not be naïve to think that as long as he does a good job in the quality of his works and uploads them to the Internet, he will be able to kill all sides and shake the animation industry.
It's not completely impossible, but again, there is a high chance that after being thrown into the sea of the Internet, it will sink to the bottom of the sea without making a splash.
It is possible that the final work will slowly float up over time. But what Fan Zhe hopes is that the work will quickly become popular, cause repercussions within a certain range, and eventually affect the attention of the copyright owner of "Full Time Master" and grab the production rights.
Wait for time to settle down...... Don't go into the sea by yourself when the time comes.
But after contacting several network marketing companies, inquiring and consulting about the price, he couldn't help but ask a question about life: "Is money so easy to make?" ”
After knowing what Fan Zhe was going to do, people opened their mouths to astronomical numbers one by one, which directly scared him away.
What does a Weibo big account repost cost 100,000 yuan, how much does it cost to post an article on the V letter public account, etc., anyway, Fan Zhe calculated it, and he couldn't afford it.
But propaganda is always to be carried out, and he himself has no resources in this area, so he can only find someone else to do it.
Of course, the price is impossible, and Fan Zhe can't afford it and doesn't want to be the wrongdoer.
He had to choose something that was more suitable for him and more economical.
Within a few days, Fan Zhe negotiated with an online public relations company and signed an agreement. After carefully discussing the propaganda plan, he was quoted 100,000 yuan, which was purely a small fight compared to those big battles.
The relevant publicity will be roughly divided into two steps.
The first step, warm-up, will begin in the near future.
Fan Zhe will release a few silent clips of the animation that have been completed, and in the name of 'streaming publishing', they will be circulated on the Internet to create a wave of momentum first.
