Chapter 210

In modern times, movie special effects are no longer a new element. Whether it's Wumao special effects or Hollywood special effects, the purpose of special effects is always the same, which means better picture effect.

There are many different kinds of special effects in modern movies. In Hollywood movies, gorgeous special effects can be designed by computer. From this point of view, 3D animation itself is a movie composed of countless special effects. On the other hand, some special means can be used to achieve better visual effects in 3D animation movies.

For example, motion capture technology or expression capture technology, when 3D animation film needs to shoot a more complex battle, and it is difficult to make the action of the character with the computer, motion capture technology can be used to make the performer wear special equipment. The performer's own action information will be collected by the computer, and the performer's every move will be simulated in the animation, The animation that used to take a lot of time only takes less than one tenth of the time to complete.

The same is true of expression capture technology, but this technology is not suitable for digini's animated films. The facial expressions of real people are not as rich as those of digini's animated character films.

"With the special effects artist, Helen is very suitable to play Anna. There's only one Elsa left." Harvey was not satisfied with summoning the ice stone goblin. He asked Helen the diamond goblin, "Helen, is there any gem goblin with a more lively character?"

"Lively?" The diamond goblin jade finger gently points his chin to consider.

Harvey added: "yes, it's a kind of immature personality, similar to the kind of plant goblins."

"In this case, there is a gem goblin, who is my good friend. Do you need me to contact her? I'm not sure if she'd like to come here

"Then ask."

Helen jumps into the mirror. Only Harvey and the ice stone goblin are left in the alchemy workshop. The ice stone goblin with a pure white body is lying on a metal plate. Her eyes are closed, and she looks sleepy. Harvey also finds a moist water light around her body. Thinking of Helen's introduction, Harvey gets a basin of water, freezes it and hands it to the ice stone goblin. The ice stone goblin stands up in a daze and tries to climb onto the basin with ice.

"Ka ~"

The ice stone goblin's slender arm was broken. This time, there was no terrible cold. She turned around and looked at Harvey innocently. She took back her arm and gave up the plan to climb up. The ice under her feet condensed into a small platform to support her body. She lay on the ice with her broken hand in her arms and yawned. She soon fell asleep, with a slightly relaxed look of indifference.

Harvey found that the ice really began to blend with her body.

"The goblin is a magical creature." Harvey, who saw this scene, was speechless.

By summoning the ice stone goblin, Harvey retrieved a gorgeous red gem from the mirror this time. As soon as he retracted his right hand from the mirror, the ruby in his hand sent out a bright red light with a little hot breath. The red light condensed into a gem goblin with ruby hair. She looked around curiously, He fixed his eyes on Harvey's face and said excitedly, "Oh, you are Harvey, Helen's contractor, just like I imagined! But my body is so big. So is this room. I'm ruby. If you need any help, please tell me! "

It is a warm and lively appearance, contrary to the ice stone goblin, which completely meets Harvey's requirements and Aisha's character.

"Nice to meet you. It seems I don't need to introduce myself." Harvey laughed with a ruby goblin in his right hand.

The ruby goblin opened his arms and nodded: "of course, you don't know how famous you are in goblin town. Just like Super Mario, Goblins who have played this game all know your name. I mean, those little games you made are very interesting."

······

Harvey named the ice stone goblin as ACE, and the ruby goblin as ruby, both of which are English transliteration of their names.

The three goblins perform their respective duties. The diamond goblin Helen and Ruby goblin ruby are responsible for playing Anna and Aisha, and the ice stone goblin ace is responsible for making ice and snow special effects. Although Harvey can produce the animation of ice and snow without them, it certainly takes more than ten times of human and material resources.

All day long, Harvey has been instilling the animation knowledge of "ice and snow" into the three goblins. Helen belongs to the obedient type. As long as Harvey orders her, she will do her best. After listening to Harvey's explanation, ruby is also very interested in the so-called animation. She pats her small chest to make sure it's OK, and ACE is a lot lazy, lying on the ice and shaking her feet, It took a long time to say yes, but there was only one "um." Words.

In the room where the animation is made, Harvey builds a magic circle to collect their action information. First, the scene where Anna and Aisha play in the empty room. With animation reference, Helen and Ruby can easily simulate the actions of Anna and Aisha, and then integrate them into the "strange fate of ice and snow" animated film to make the characters' actions more smooth and natural.

"I'm not used to wearing so much cloth." Ruby gripes at her skirt.

Harvey didn't hear the order: "next, ruby, you jump forward. Ace is in charge of making a snowdrift. Catch ruby. Helen, you just do something."

The character action shooting of animation continues.

"Unfortunately, only Anna and Aisha can use action gathering, and Helen's movement habits are not suitable for playing some male roles."

Harvey watched the goblins' performance with great interest and thought, "maybe we can launch goblins' animation or something in the future."

Goblin animation is more like puppet animation. Before 3D animation movies became popular, the mainstream "3D" animation mode needed to first produce puppets and scene props, and then continuously set up puppets to shoot one picture after another. These pictures were linked together to form puppet animation. The more famous puppet animation in Europe and America on the earth included "ghost mother" and "ghost mother" In China, puppet animation is a kind of traditional culture, but it has not been transformed successfully. The only famous one is golden light puppet show, which has many loyal fans.

In addition to the European, American and Chinese markets, Jinguang cloth bag was also favored by xuyuanxuan, a famous Japanese animation script writer, who produced "journey to donglijian" and won a good reputation in Japan.

Puppet animation is a branch of animated films. Many successful examples have proved the artistic value of this mode. But in this world, there are goblins whose body is about the same size as the puppet, and the troublesome steps of setting up can be directly omitted. Therefore, it is not so much puppet animation as goblin animation.
