Chapter 57. Wingless Bird (I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival)
Jiang Zhan turned his head and glanced at Li Haohao.
"Have you heard a story? In this world, there is a wingless bird, which was born without wings, so it will theoretically never be able to soar in the sky like other birds. ”
"However, this wingless bird must have soared above the sky at the last moment of its life!"
Li Haohao was a little confused: "So this is the short film idea you came up with?" Kiwi? ”
"But how does it fly without wings? Tell me more about it. ”
Jiang Zhan smiled, but didn't speak, just lowered his head and drew a few sketches on the electronic drawing board again.
A vertical cliff with rows of large trees and plants growing on the cliff face, and wingless birds falling vertically from the cliff.
Li Haohao couldn't help frowning: "Jumping off the cliff?!" ”
Jiang Zhan shook his head, then turned the drawing board around: "What now?" ”
Looking at the picture that became completely different in an instant because of the change of perspective, Li Haohao suddenly had a shocking and inexplicable feeling in his heart for some reason.
"It's... On the fly! That's right! It's flying! Soar above the skies! ”
Jiang Zhan said: "The animation we want to make is this, a wingless bird soaring above the sky. ”
Li Haohao's face also showed a touch of excitement and excitement, and he praised: "Old Jiang, I don't even know how your guy's brain grows!" This story, this idea... It's absolutely stunning! I can't wait to make it! ”
Jiang Zhan just smiled.
This wingless bird animated short film was seen by Jiang Zhan from a short video in a parallel world.
At the beginning, Jiang Zhan felt quite bored because of the explanation of the marketing account that added a lot of snakes, and the painting style and shape of the original version of the wingless bird didn't look very good, and he was really not interested in it at first.
In the end, it wasn't until the wingless bird jumped off the cliff and the picture was flipped over, Jiang Zhan still remembers the shock of that moment, and he also realized the meaning he wanted to express in the short film.
Wingless birds are destined to never be able to fly into the sky for the rest of their lives, and experience the feeling of soaring in the sky.
But the wingless bird in the short film did not give up, it created a 'sky' for itself on the top of that cliff, and then jumped down!
By then, it was undoubtedly already flying, soaring through the sky, even if... It's a cost of life!
But so what? For the dreams and pursuits in my heart, what if I die?
Being able to achieve what you wish and fulfill your dreams, even going to death is calm, and it has become a kind of romance.
The script of the wingless bird is quite simple, and it can even be said that there is no need for a script at all, so after confirming the target, the two of them immediately took action.
First of all, Jiang Zhan first drew the human design and model of the wingless bird, while Li Haohao was responsible for drawing the shape of the cliff and trees.
Then, it's time to start working in earnest.
In the next few days, Jiang Zhan rarely did not go to class, and after class every day, he returned to the dormitory with Li Haohao to work on the production of wingless birds.
Compared with the original version of the wingless bird, Jiang Zhan's production of this version is undoubtedly much more refined.
The main thing is that in their era, compared to the era when the original wingless bird appeared, the technology has developed and become much stronger, and Jiang Zhan and Li Haohao also want to do their best to make it well, and the final picture quality and effect are naturally finer than the original.
In the end, in a hurry, the two only spent a week of spare time before the film was preliminarily produced.
And Li Haohao seemed to be a little dissatisfied, so he pulled Jiang Zhan again, looking for the tiny flaws in the film frame by frame, and the supplements one by one, until the last day, he was finally satisfied.
Department of Animation, specialized course.
Today is the day to accept the students' homework, and Lao Li is not going to talk about any teaching materials in this class, so he is ready to take everyone to accept the animated short films they have produced in the past half a month, and then comment on two sentences.
On the curtain in front of the blackboard, the short film made by the students has been played, and Lao Li also started a class on the short film, talking about the shortcomings of the film for a while, and then calling the producer up, asking him to explain to everyone the idea of his short film and the meaning he wants to express.
And soon, it was the turn of the wingless bird made by Jiang Zhan and Li Haohao.
After all, this homework,It's for students to work together to complete it.,Everyone is in a team of threes and twos.,The number of works completed in the end is naturally not too much.,There are only about 60 students in the first year of the entire animation department.,More than a dozen animated short film works.。
Hearing that it was the work of Jiang Zhan and Li Haohao, many people were interested and looked up at the projection screen.
After all, it's Jiang Zhan, a well-known student of their animation department, and the word talent is attached to him like a label, so his works naturally have to be looked at twice.
And there's .... This time, five or six of them teamed up to work together, and they barely rushed out the animated short, and Jiang Zhan only had himself and Li Haohao, the quality and completion of the animation...
It is undeniable that some students have no lack of malice in their hearts, especially those such as Ye Shangming, who has always been at odds with Jiang Zhan, and even more hope to have fun watching Jiang Zhan.
In the next second, the short film began.
Surprisingly, the quality and finish of the short film look pretty good, although the environment and background are very simple, but in terms of picture quality, it is enough to beat the first few animated short films completed by other groups.
And then there's the content of the animation... The protagonist in Jiang Zhan's short film is a strange fat bird without wings?
Everyone was a little strange, but no one spoke, and continued to watch the next plot development.
In the video, the wingless bird bites a rope with its beak and drags it effortlessly to a tree on a cliff.
Then the strange bird jumped on the rope and slid down to the bottom of the cliff with its claws, where there was a tree suspended in the air by the rope.
The strange bird raised its foot and grabbed at itself, and a hammer and a large number of nails fell out, and then I saw it use the nails to nail the roots of the big tree to the cliff...
Seeing this all the time, everyone was confused, neither knowing why the strange bird was doing strangely, nor what the next plot development would be.
The wingless bird climbed up the cliff again, untied the ropes from the cliff, and somehow pulled out an old-fashioned flight cap that the previous pilot had worn on his head and put it on his head.
It stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, an anthropomorphic smile of excitement on its face.
