Animated Prose

Everyone knows about animation, right? Students have seen animation, right? Animation, has been popularized to thousands of households; animation, is synonymous with children's happiness. So, do you know what is animation? Do you know the meaning of animation? Do you know the history of animation and the various forms of animation, production methods? Animation also contains a spirit, you know?

Before listening to this lecture, I could not answer these questions. But today, a common lecture held in the auditorium of our school has made me have a deep feeling for the ordinary animation.

In fact, animation, is to give life to inanimate things, or to give animals and plants human language and movement. Animation also has a special meaning, it is easy for children to realize those extraordinary philosophies of life.

Having seen this, chances are you wish you knew the history of animation. The earliest animation is the original intention animation, the oldest animation has been more than seventeen thousand years ago, that is a carving in the kiln cave wall of an eight-legged boar, the boar seems to be in the jungle shrubs running like the wind; seven to six centuries B.C., the clever and witty Ancient Greeks in the vase carving the appearance of a man running; two thousand years B.C., Egypt, there are also some people to the animation to the The character's expression and movement show the Egyptian flavor, which is exquisite. Around 1500 B.C., animation entered an early experimental period, when people began to use phantom disks, trick disks, and multiple mirrors to create animation. By 1906, animation entered a whole new era: people began to shoot on location, taking engraved . . pictures on video cameras. By the childhood of animation, Disney published the first short black-and-white animation, Mickey Mouse; soon after, Disney published the first color animation, Flowers and Trees; and in nineteen thirty-seven, Disney had published the first full-length color animation, Snow White. After the nineties, animation entered a period of maturity when people began to use computers to write animation. The first animated film containing digital information, "The Lion King" came out, followed by two-dimensional animation and three-dimensional animation with a grand scale of scenes and a wide field of vision.

The history of animation is very interesting, the realization of animation is also a variety of forms, there are flat single-line paint animation, sketch animation, oil painting, sand painting and film painting, three-dimensional traditional puppet animation, modern puppet animation and material puppet animation, as well as subtle and realistic, infectious computer virtual animation. Of course, the material of making animation is not limited to these, I think, the material of making animation, only you can't think, no you can't do. Indeed, we use the extremely ordinary things around us, such as clay tablets, needle and thread, paper cuttings, steel wire, real people and animation of real shots, can be composed of sophisticated animation. Don't think that animation is out of reach, animation is around us, in our hearts. Picasso, the world-famous painter, once said: I can never draw like a child. Perhaps express our imagination, with our pure heart, bold to create, bold to render your animation life, this is one of the spirit of animation.

So, now the most common computer virtual animation and how to make it? That is a series of very complex procedures: from the text script, to the role, scene design and music positioning, sub-shot completed to start production; production is completed, the producers will have to carry out animation check, computer synthesis, special effects production, editing and marketing synthesis to synthesize the output of this animation. Producers have to meditate in this long process, because for one second of animation, producers have to draw twenty-four sheets to complete, and for a two to three hours animation, producers have to spend two to three years to complete. Therefore, in this tedious process, it is necessary for many people to work together silently in order to complete it. In my opinion, patience and perseverance are synonymous with animation production. It is only when every producer, without arrogance or impatience, is confident that the output work can be completed, otherwise, the work is just a crescent moon in the water, just a beautiful bubble that can never be completed. The collaboration of the producers is also very important, because a person who wants to make an animation that is good enough to touch people's hearts, must spend a lifetime of energy and time.

There is so much to be learned from the making of animation. I think that if animation is on TV, computers and other high-tech, it is better to say that animation is in our young minds. If we love animation, let's create beautiful animation with our beautiful hearts!
