really can not understand a lot of people, including me, Chinese animation has not wake up, completely the dead?
the past, Taiwan and the mainland on both sides of the traditional hand-drawn animation processing industry, with people Xunxun Ran the amazing development. From 2000 to the present, as a scourge like the digital wave sweeping the globe, in this war, terrible and strange in this new century, too late transformation of traditional hand-drawn animators, and animation companies, such as loss of Road people who place treading water, just to plan a life. The kind of missed all the panic, should no one can match it. Looking back, of course, the general trend of previous years, all the beauty and dreams is already very far, but they still deserve respect. Group of workers in the traditional hand-drawn animation, animation history in China played an important role, so I decided to write this “Timeline of the song” novel, to salute them.
Perhaps the content of this blog, some people will add a touch of sentimental nostalgia, but take into account the “Timeline of the song” readers, I think I have mentioned in the book animation Detailed tool for some.
A safety box (FIELDGUIDE)
when we watch TV, regardless of any program, the screen about 10% of the area, due to TV broadcast around the screen when border, has been obscured out. The use of safety box, is the focus of the screen does not want to see the importance of the action or character, is not aware of it fell outside the TV screen. And if the screen does not draw the animation to the outermost border position, the screen will wear a tie.
security box is the use of transparent celluloid material, once the safety cushion in the bottom paint box, open at the end of lamp, you can see the painting of the security zone, so that animators in his paintings, to notice displayed on the TV monitor on the safety zone. In addition, safety box also has shift on the screen, or to calculate the camera forward (zoomin) or promote (zoomout) function. Traditional analog security box security box minimum 4, maximum up to 24 safety boxes, digital safety box does not have this limitation.
Second, animation paper (ANIMATIONPAPER)
generally 70P of Dowling, the United States and Japan were two sizes, with the digital needs, have all change the aspect ratio of 16:9 A4, B4 and A3 sizes. U.S. regulations generally use 12 TV cartoon safety box, size 322 × 270mm. Sundial small, safe box 10, size 270 × 255mm. Digital A4 size 297 × 210mm, B4 several dimensions 364 × 256mm, film animation using 16 safety boxes, A3 digital size 419X298mm. No matter what the specifications are also available in multiples of animation paper long, about three to five times as long, the height of the paper remain unchanged.
Third, the drilling machine (PUNCH)
animation paper must be marked with a special positioning hole, a round one side, to facilitate the fixed paper. This is a good animation is used to cut paper has been marked with a tool positioning holes, if the paper were too many, you must use electric punch the job, or will be exhausted. Good punch in the drawer under the table design can be punched in the process of collecting a large number of scraps of paper cut out, otherwise it would have to worry about cleaning up debris scattered on the table paper.
Fourth, positioning feet (PEGBAR)
Once the holes lay in the animation paper, you can use to locate the paper size fixed. Positioning when the foot is an essential tool for animators, one-foot painted animation does not use positioning, such as walking without shoes on, unable to move. Fixed animation paper, the paper will not shift in the process of drawing. Use the more common position on the foot, there are three protrusions, two bars, a round, and the corresponding animation paper has cavities, protrusions may be due to the manufacturer, country, production companies and have different size and number of , ruler of the materials are plastic, steel, iron, etc., but protrusion is made using steel.
five pencils (PENCIL)
a lot of pencil, in particular, the artist used, are marked on the European system of scale, from “H” (as hardness) to “B” (black degrees), also known as “F” (for the finepoint). Standard writing pencil is “HB”, fill in the card reader pen is “2B”. However, in order to produce different visual effects on paper, pencil artists use a wide range. An artistic pencil varies from very hard to very soft light-colored pencil dark pencil, usually the hardest to the softest from the range can be expressed as follows:
hard and light: H2H3H4H5H6H7H8H9H < br />
(taken from Wikipedia: http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/ pencil)
six, colored pencils (COLORPENCIL)
I do not know since when, and presumably a long time ago, almost all European and American animation with the Col-EraseColoredPencils this brand. It is a pencil rubbing of color, twenty four-color, you can erase bad painting, but also soluble in water. Special eraser on the cap, if the eraser with other brands, I afraid will not wipe clean. Red and blue are the most commonly used for painting in the proofing stage of drafting. One of the light blue color No. 20028, copy without leaving the slightest trace, in the most widely used in animation. The disadvantage is the time when the moist air, refill often easily broken, so be careful when cutting colored pencil.
seven Eraser (ERASER)
not want to help the Dragonfly brand eraser (TOMBOW) advertise, blue hue between black and white packaging, so that animators difficult forget, because this famous eraser, you can wipe it very clean, spotless . And do not wear paper, eraser itself is not easy to dirty, rubber crumbs also, soon after, but also the best animators brought back memories of the full surplus.
eight, electric pencil sharpener (PENCILSHARPENER)
as expensive, mostly in the animation company public a few people, only a few people to exclusive. Will be sent a pencil in this wonderful machine, the electric motor will automatically creaking sound, debris such as falling snow, very scary, but it has a reassuring safety devices. Needless to say, a pencil sharpener is mounted under a transparent box with a pencil debris, there is a variety of shapes, in addition to the pencil of function, it can be as beautiful animation visual environment.
nine, animation disc (ANIMATIONDISK)
This is a light weight non-professional equipment, animation, animation director and generally will be required to use the original artist, use, As long as the disc has the same size placed in the circular pit dug on the desktop can be, when you are painting very smoothly. Disc 12 and 16 safety boxes in two sizes, 12 safety boxes specifications: 500 × 800 × 70mm, 8Kg. 16 safety boxes specifications: 600 × 930 × 80mm, 10Kg. Animation disc is made of iron, steel or made of acrylic, plus a frosted glass, the upper and lower protrusion configured a total of five feet long positioning, and positioning on the inch scale ruler. This is in line with traditional animation photography originally designed by Taiwan, but Taiwan since the shooting movies, the first to be replaced by the computer, the disc and the original artist live together day and night for decades, has now served its purpose the most.
ten, animation tables (ANIMATIONDESK)
This is a special production of professional table, than students in general to a large desk on the 1st, with a light, light box , shelving, cupboards, and placement of ground glass drawing board and disk functions. The early Taiwan animation desk, is to take an aluminum basin to the end of the lamp load. In addition, the desktop has a multi-regulatory function and can change with each person habits, like the height to be adjusted, you can paint as long as the plug. As the animation tables can not be bought in the market, it must be a lot of custom animation company, capital is higher. With the countries of the animation company site needs and financial resources of different animation tables so produced are various different versions.
XI, write-through units / animation frame (DESKDISK)
If there is no animation desk, with write-through units on it! Write-through units is to use the original replication tool, it has fluorescent, white acrylic or frosted glass, and wooden or metal box platform. The multiple overlapping animation paper, placed on the glass or acrylic panel, and then turn on the light switch, multi-screen image will be in the animation paper. Topic is generally commercially available units are fixed through writing the height can not be changed by the user habits. Once on the table will be too high, with a long, very easy to hump.
Fortunately, there is an animation frame, there are disc-specific frame of the animation, you can adjust the height. Just any one table, put the animation frame, set into the disc, and then connect the power to pick up a pen to paint. High point, very thoughtful design that can be placed on a pencil, eraser groove.
XII line animation film like Taiwan (PENCILTEST)
line animated film is the director of quality control is essential to a step, the completion of the drawings on the table, a picture of the shooting down, and then connect the computer, the drawings will be filmed playing out continuously without interruption. While there is no color, only black and white, but can shoot design draft (image composition), original drawings or animation draft preview or view in advance whether the required quality, preventive measures.
table contains a line like shooting: tripod, lifting blocks, lifting frame, 12 disc box security, lighting, lamp base, shooting software, video capture card. The performance of the camera lens can push, pull, shake, move.
XIII law form (EXPOSURESHEET)
legal form that is photography form the original artist in the design process, to be clever subtlety to the performance figures and the story, it is critical The point is that the calculation time. This is the original artist intent reflected in visual form, after the middle of the sheet to facilitate the drawing staff and staff understand the film, which is connected a bridge between the different division of labor, with the legal form, it advances the animation process work efficiency.
it is not strictly fixed format, under normal circumstances, the law will have a title bar table, bar number lens, lens length of the column, the number of sheets the animation bar, animation bar and other responsible person name. The most important part of the legal form is that it moves out, dialogue sound out, animated column, background columns, columns and other photography. In the longitudinal line of each column is the original artist to convey the intent to later process, drawing sheets and then scan the middle of shooting, all in accordance with this line of thinking of each of these, each row in the table law is often said the number of cells. According to the different playing format, 24 frames / second, 25 frames / sec, 30 frames / second, usually a legal form will be 2,3 seconds, and usually only one to draw a shot.
legal form almost all animation processes has together, and fill out the legal form of the original artist must grasp the basic skills.

fourth, acrylic paint (ANIMATIONPAINT)
This is a specific company to import the animation dedicated to paint, because the color is fixed, so the role of color are provided by the company in accordance with paint color cards to match. Acrylic paint drying too fast, water resistance and strong adhesion, toughness is also very Lai. Need to have a lot of color when dry place, once dry, will as a layer of leather, celluloid film directly from the torn. In addition, you can use acrylic paint to draw on in the background, according to the different levels of dilution, the background teacher can show the effect of light color or dark color, but acrylic paint brushes and easily attached to the tool palette and so on, Be sure to clean the painting as soon as possible after use with.
fifth, celluloid (CELLULOID)
celluloid is like plastic, but earlier than the emergence of a plastic material. Heat and pressure from the celluloid hardness, high density, good light transmission. The use of transparent celluloid film, is one of the most ancient way of animation, but the color often be damaged or scratched celluloid, if too many layers of shooting, the screen dim down, so the provision can not exceed seven, or white kinds of people will become yellow. In the background section, common vision or medium shot of celluloid drawing, which will help repair using the spray, Diego Shadow, dry brush, light on the processing techniques. But it is flammable, easily angry, so very early on rarely used.
long animation studio like this
as mentioned above, the general trend, no matter how hard those mentioned above, traditional animation tools have gradually disappeared, perhaps in the future will exist in the school or museum. Currently, the comfortable and secure environment exists in the animation, the animation is to create a new era of digital graphics tablet, pen, and animation software.
Sorry, there are lots of pictures over a move from Sina on stealth, and had to excuse me all to my blog to read the whole Sina graphic, thank you: http://blog.sina.com .cn/s/blog_6a90930a0100li9c.ht ml
