It's not just bald......

In fact, in domestic animation, many characters have problems with the head-to-body ratio, and it can be said that children have grown up watching "big-headed dolls" since they were young.

Is there something wrong with such an aesthetic?

A: Yes, no problem!

The similar aesthetic of big-headed dolls has been around for a long time. As early as ancient times, many handicrafts such as clay porcelain dolls had a little bit of "big head and small body" characteristics.

In the folk, there is a folk prop performance event named "big-headed doll".

To put it simply, it is a folk performance performed by a person wearing a huge "doll helmet", wearing a variety of festive and colorful costumes, holding a fan or dust, and praying for a good harvest and good health.

Here's another example.

In many years, don't you often depict the image of a boy or girl holding a carp or a "gold and silver ingot"?

And the image of the child holding a carp or ingot, the head-to-body ratio is not right, and the head is usually very large and conspicuous.

There is no point in tracing the origins.

What Gu Miao wants to say is not about whether the origin of the big-headed doll is a good or bad meaning.

He simply felt that the animated characters with too exaggerated head-to-body ratios would subtly affect many children and make them misjudge the figure of normal humans.

It's not that animation doesn't have to be based on real human proportions.

It can be appropriately "exaggerated".

But not too exaggerated, completely distorting the proportions of a normal human character's body.

In Gu Miao's opinion, the 3D modeling of the Wanbao version of the bald head is not a normal human being. The neck is as thin as a fast child, but the head is ridiculously big.

This should be fine-tuned.

He doesn't advocate distorted aesthetics, he thinks that the animated characters created by an animated work should conform to most people's cognition.

Today's big-headed doll, tomorrow will be a squinting-eyed boy?

Don't!

Gu Miaozhen can't accept it, the bizarre aesthetic that is divorced from the mass base is destined to be the kind of evil devil that is not accepted by the general public.

It's fine to be normal.

The bald head is destined to be handsome, and his character image does not need to be too modified, just change the head-to-body ratio to make it look more coordinated and pleasing to the eye.

The planning seminar is almost over.

The rest of the work is nothing more than revising or filling in the content that has already been discussed, and finally creating the animation according to the plan and script.

After Gu Miao packed up her things, she went straight to the Dimension Studio.

The animation "Bear Infested" is an out-and-out 3D animation, and the production requires the contribution of Dimension Studios.

Merely......

Wedo Studio is currently busy working on the animation of "Super Beast Armament", and whether they can squeeze out the time and manpower depends on the progress of Huang Kun's project.

……

"Mr. Gu, you sit down for a while."

Huang Kun, who learned that Mr. Gu came to inspect the work, couldn't be separated from entertaining at all, after all, he was now busy guiding the special effects synthesis of "Super Beast Armament"!

Gu Miao leaned over and took a look.

What is being produced is the animation "Super Beast Armament" summoning or transforming or merging part of the special effects.,He doesn't know much about this aspect.,I just feel that the special effects are very handsome and gorgeous.。

In particular, the ability lock summons ultra beasts.

The ability lock is actually a very problematic name, because the ability lock is not a "lock" at all, but a key?

A tool to stimulate the alien energy in the body?

All right!

With this explanation, it seems that the meaning of the ability lock is more complicated. But the meaning is the same, this thing is not a "lock", don't be misled by the name.

Maybe at this time, some smart people will say, what bullshit ability lock, isn't that the "transformer" or "summoner" in the tokusatsu drama?

Wrong! Miss by a mile!

Regarding this point, Gu Miao, as one of the super luxury screenwriters of "Super Beast Armament", actually knows the truth.

Ability lock, on the surface, is a summoner for the super beast warriors like Huo Linfei to summon the super beast to complete the transformation, but it is really not a summoner.

Let's sort out the logic first......

The function of the ability lock is to stimulate and release abnormal energy, and the abnormal energy is the key to summoning super beasts, or improving combat effectiveness.

Therefore, in the animation setting of "Super Beast Armament", even if there is no ability lock, with strong belief and stimulating abnormal energy, super beast warriors can also summon super beasts.

"What's the use of the ability lock?"

"Huh!"

Hearing Huang Kun's joking inquiry, Gu Miao pondered for a moment and replied, "Puzzle math toys for children to play?" ”

It's not an educational toy!

Before children learn to add, subtract, multiply and divide, or the ninety-nine multiplication table, use this educational toy to familiarize themselves with the logic and methods of mathematical operations.

When the children have learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide and multiply the ninety-nine multiplication table, what is the use of this math educational toy?

It's the same with ability locks.

When the super beast warriors are not familiar with the way of excitation and release of alien energy, and do not yet have a strong belief, they use this to practice their hands first.

Looking back, the belief is strong, and I know what the alien energy is all about, who still uses the ability lock to summon transformation?

"Hahaha!"

"That's an interesting statement......"

Huang Kun poured a cup of coffee for Mr. Gu, beckoned him to sit down on the sofa next to him, and said with a smile: "Does that mean that even if you get the ability lock, you may not be able to become a super beast warrior?" ”

Source change app】

"That's right."

"Ability locks are not tied to Ultra Beast Warriors, the threshold to become Ultra Beast Warriors, nor is it the ability lock that you have or used."

Gu Miao said with emotion: "The reason why the strong are strong is not because the tools they use are powerful, but because the people who use the tools are powerful...... Forehead! What are you doing? ”

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly saw Huang Kun pick up a pen and paper, and Gu Miao, who seemed to be writing down something, had a very puzzled expression.

"Write it down!"

"This sentence is good, it has the flavor of Hades, I'll write it down first and see if I can use it later."

Huang Kun looked at Gu Miao with relish, blinked and said, "Go on, I love to listen!" ”

Gu Miao: "......"

Say the hammer says!

Gu Miao, who originally wanted to sigh for a few more sentences, was a little speechless by his operation, and forgot how to answer for a while.

Hades ...... Oh yes!

After reorganizing her thoughts, Gu Miao raised her head and asked Huang Kun, "You just mentioned Hades, I forgot to ask you, have you finished writing your lines?" ”

"It's done!"

Huang Kun got up and walked to the workbench, rummaged through a large stack of documents, and quickly found what he wanted and handed it to Gu Miao.

Gu Miao took it and took a look.

After only a few glances, and without even looking closely, his expression immediately became uncontrollable.

Really engaged!

Is this Hades or Nietzsche?

He just asked Huang Kun and the screenwriter team to refer to more philosophy books, but he didn't let them directly copy famous quotes!

This is too preachy......
