Note from a Klaus animator's interview

Image
Today I join an interview host by CGMA. They have invited the 3 animators from the movie Klaus. They are Cécile Carre , Simone Cirillo , Giovanni Braggio . They are all the animator I really like in the movie or as an artist/ animator. Really glad to have this interview and really inspired what they are talked. Here is some of the note I did in the interview. ___ Usually, in the studio, you will be assigned a sequence which is mean you will be give many shots that is connected. Think about those while planing those shots: What happens around the shots? What moment are those shots want to deliver? What is the use in the movie? Where is the big importance in the shot?  How the director wants you to communicate? How I want to show around those shots? Push more on the important one and release it on the others. Find a good balance between each shot. This is not about showing off your skills. It is about what the shot wants to describe In the production: shooting ...

影評｜little amélie or the character of rain

Image
本篇有雷 ★★★★ ★ 這是一部在台中動畫影展看到的片，叫《小雨愛咪莉》，得過包括 Annie Awards 在內的國際獎項。整片節奏明快、沒有冷場，長度剛剛好，是我非常喜歡的一部動畫長片 故事主角是一個兩歲前都不說話的小女孩。但她不是沒想法，反而非常早熟，有很多對世界的提問，只是身邊沒有人真的聽進去。她覺得自己像個大人、像個神，但外界只把她當普通小孩對待。她不斷問：「為什麼男生節要掛鯉魚旗？」「為什麼人會死？」大人不是笑一笑就是輕描淡寫，她的問題就這樣被丟在空氣中 我很喜歡這樣的角色設定。她有點小怪、有點孤僻，但也真實得不得了 她和奶奶的關係很特別。奶奶願意聽她說話，陪她找螞蟻、觀察花園裡的細節，不會把她的好奇心當成麻煩。奶奶離開後，幫傭成為第二個真正看見她的人。不急著糾正，不用「妳還小不用懂」敷衍，而是用對等的方式和她對話。像她問鯉魚旗為什麼代表男生，幫傭就從文化象徵一路講到性別角色，這些細節超級溫柔 我特別喜歡這女孩的成長歷程。她一開始有點彆扭、有點任性，但不是壞脾氣，而是一種「世界都不在我的頻率上」的孤單。她其實很有邏輯、有想法，但太多人用社會化的標準在回應她，沒有人真的試著理解 所以她變得安靜、不主動，也不示弱。不是封閉，是她根本沒被邀請說話。直到奶奶跟幫傭用一種真正尊重的方式靠近她，她才慢慢願意相信：自己是可以被理解的 故事後段她經歷了一場意外，跌進水裡、昏迷，進入夢境般的片段，遇見奶奶。奶奶對她說：「妳還不該來這裡。」那場戲既詩意又靜謐，她像是在水裡重新梳理回憶，也重新看見自己曾被愛著、被聽見 所以不是突然懂事，而是在一次次失望、撞牆的過程中，才學會什麼是「珍惜」，珍惜那些留下來傾聽的人，也珍惜自己還願意敞開的心 然後她醒來。不只是身體醒了，而是心裡那個關著門的她，重新張開了眼睛 這部片從童年孤單走向被理解的過程，真的讓人很有感。主角的名字是 Amélie，日文翻成「小雨」，她就像一場細雨，靜靜觀察這個世界，在失落裡慢慢長出自己的根

Dialogue - Lip Sync Tip

Some note for the Lip Sync form Aaron video (below) 304 - 325 in The Animator's Survival Kit 151 - 163 in Character Animation Crash Course. 453 – 471 in The Illusion of Life The mouth move 2-4F ahead sound. Say the Dialogue and feel the mouth shape change between the word A sentence has a pose, award let the pose to buzz. Every pose would have meaning in it. Don't over animate, don't over-enunciate. At least 2 frames to read the important consonant Most of the time the head accent(頭的動作) is up anticipate is down then head accent up then lip on the vowel(母音) Hit only the vowels which are important. Gloss over the other. just hit the main accents progress the action as you speak Action: we experience the emotion and magnify the result. show the expression change avoid making a fast move while changing the expression change your expression before the move, or at the end, when the character is moving slowly enough for it to be seen D...
