Chapter 98: Animation

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/  The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!

In the Blue Sky Animation Studio, a group of people were busy and busy. Chris Wedge held the script and character drawings of "Beauty and the Beast" in his hand to exchange opinions with the painter.

"Beauty and the Beast" is the first feature film of Blue Sky Animation Studio, and everyone carefully paints every detail.

Because of the script and character patterns provided by Leicester, they did not need to worry about not having the script and directly performed the action of drawing the storyboard.

"No, this is not possible here, it's a bit inconsistent."

The painter gave half of the painting to Chrisweedge for inspection. After half of it was seen, Chrisweedge found the problem and asked the painter to redesign it.

This is a storyboard for the film production process. The animation is the same as a live-action movie. Before shooting and production, the storyboard needs to be drawn in advance, design the character's personality changes and actions, allocated to different shots, and guided for the director's subsequent shooting.

The paper paintings produced by Chris Wedge are different from those used by Disney. He uses computer animation to create storyboards, just like Disney's science fiction movie "The Battle of Electronic World", using computer animation to create storyboard scripts and action choreography.

When Lester walked in, he saw a complicated animation production process. The computer started to make character drawings, and the painters distributed scenes according to the character drawings he gave.

As the screenwriter of "Beauty and the Beast", Leicester was also a producer. He prepared the storyboard of "Die Hard" and took the things he wrote and immediately ran over to watch.

Leicester was also a little curious about the production of animated movies and wanted to see how they made them.

"How is the drawing?"

Lester came over and asked;

"After half of it, the storyboard may not be completed so quickly."

Chris Wedge looked at the script and animation designers drawing, without raising his head;

Seeing this, Lester did not bother them, and stood by and watched them using computers to create the storyboard script and action arrangement of "Beauty and the Beast".

The originally vague figure of Belle appears on the computer under the designer's little paintings.

Today's computers may not be able to compare with the various functional computers in later generations, but they can be used to make them.

Computer animation produced by computers is the technology that Chris Wedge is best at.

As time passed, Lester looked at them painting the hair of the prince when he turned into a beast, browsed and said in a deep voice: "Damn, what are you drawing for me? Didn't I draw his hair in detail on the drawings with a pen?"

As soon as Leicester's voice came out, the few people who had originally communicated in a low voice were startled and looked at him one after another.

“There’s a problem.”

Chrisweedch was a little confused and looked up and down at the beast's pattern.

The shortage of hair is indeed Chris Wedge's shortcomings. Lester pointed to the loose hair behind the beast's arms and head and said, "Look at it, is this the wild beast's dense hair? This is not, the hair is too dark and red."

Lester pointed out the shortcomings of their hair in their paintings one by one, and finally said, "I think you should really take a closer look at how animal hair is."

Everyone looked a little embarrassed for a moment, and they quickly corrected the mistakes that Leicester pointed out.

The prince turned into a beast. After everyone's modifications and adjustments, he finally designed the beast in full. Lester checked it and said it through Chris Wedge and the designer's nervousness.

This made them feel relieved and their faces looked happy.

Chris Wedge also realized his shortcomings. Thinking of Leicester's words, he said seriously: "I will consider watching the hair of animals."

Leicester was a little amused and crying for a moment, but he agreed with the words he wanted to observe animals: "Observation may give you inspiration, but I have to remind you not to get too close to aggressive animals. I don't want to receive the news the next day that the vice president of Blue Sky Animation Studio died."

"I will." Chris Wedge replied to Leicester and began to ask the designer to create a picture of Belle dancing with the beast.

It is impossible to complete animated characters in one day, and it took seven hours to portray the protagonists Belle and the Prince.

Chris Wedge's love for animation exceeds Leicester's imagination. After discovering that he lacks hair, he is more dedicated and strict with the characters behind him.

The dancing scenes of the beast and Belle were quite busy. Lester looked at them and thought that this scene would take more than ten days to complete.

"How is the character dubbing going?"

Lester was watching for a while and asked about important things.

I have found a few dubbing roles to match the small characters. I am in the dubbing room. I put him behind the dubbing of other important characters and must be careful to find someone to match.

Chris Wedge turned around and handed the mouse over and suddenly thought of something, handed over the production to others, and looked at Lester solemnly: "There are many "Beauty and the Beast" that require songs and accompaniment to proceed. What do you think of these."

After Chrisweed said this, Lester remembered what he had to do and handed it to him with several pieces of paper he brought.

"This is a song." Chrisweedy took a look and saw the music symbols and lyrics written on the paper. He came to a conclusion in his heart, saying: ~ This was created for "Beauty and the Beast".

Lester has received attention from the music industry because of the nomination for the best original song by the Oscar. After all, Lester is the songwriter, and he has no relationship with the singer who sang that song. The nominee is Lester.

In more than ten days, the 58th Academy Awards Ceremony was held. The song nominated by Leicester and the hope of winning the award were the greatest.

Lester admitted under Chris Wedge's gaze: "This is all the songs and accompaniment of "Beauty and the Beast."

The lyrics and music totaled 19 songs, which were specially matched with "Beauty and the Beast". After watching it, Chris Wedge walked forward and said, "I'll take you to the recording studio to see how they dubbed and recorded it."

As soon as Lester followed Chris Wedge approached the recording room of Blue Sky Animation Studio, he heard the sound of actors dubbing the animation characters from inside.

Walking in, several people were sitting on stools, waiting for voiceovers, holding the lines they handed to them.

The extras who watched the lines looked at Lester and Chris Wedge at the side, then lowered their heads and read the lines in their hands.

"President." The employee who recorded the dubbing saw the two of them coming in, stopped recording the dubbing, got up to say hello, Lester interrupted, "Continue, don't worry about us."

The recording work started again, and Lester and Chris Wedge stood outside, listening to the voice actors chanting the lines in full spirit.

The lines of these people are the simplest. When they come to the dubbing, those who want to come over to pronounce them need to sing the lines. The pitch is still impossible to leave, which is very difficult.

"Boss, you have your phone number, Mr. Fields is looking for you." Lester, who was quietly watching the dubbing, was interrupted by the assistant's words.

Walking out of the recording room, Lester took the phone from his assistant, and Fields' voice came: "John Walker wants to see you."
Chapter completed!
