water colour animation in [Waneewa Junah]

It is an animation from a film. I like the style very much because it looks like water colour pictures.Everything looks real but hand drawing. From an interview i know how the animation was made: first, record the video. then use filters to make it water colour style. Most of the scenes are really made by hands, the animator draw the outline of the character everyframe and then put them together. In some scenes, the camera moves with the character, so the scenes also change in different angle. In order to make the scene move in different angle, the animator build some simple scenes in 3D software and use texture to give the water colour feelings. The final result is successful.

[2D animation] The Lighthouse

simple but good story.

I notice that a great animantion is not only good look， but also a good content and plot development.

Research on some early works of Chinese style animation

For my major project, I want to bring something from Chinese style animation. There are several early works of Chinese animation.

There are mainly 2 kinds of animation in early time. One is Chinese ink painting style animation; one is a little bit modern style. Compare with Japanese and American style, Chinese animation is not known by people. But both styles are special and unique.


The most obvious feature in Chinese style animation is non-realistic and symbolic. Each character has special symbol, such as Facial Makeup of Beijing Opera, geometric shape. The animation is always Exaggerated, or dramatic. There may a lot of colours, but always keep low contrast. The colour scheme is dim, the scene is blurred. The sounds are interesting, in some scenes, the character will move with the rhythm of the music, like dancing, but actually it is part of the animation. One thing is notice is symmetrical elements.
In the animation , the people create by the goddess appear absolutely symmetrical.

The lotus halo behind Nezha in , is also enlarge symmetrically.


I think it reflects the patterns and totem on Chinese pottery. Symmetrical pattern is kind of represents an ancient Chinese thought: harmony and everything should abide by the rules. One good example is the yin-yang pattern.

interview:Production methods:3d rendering method as 2d , Oddly creative tea

The original site:http://www.hxsd.com/news/CG-figures/20101216/32600.html

"Oddly" inspiration is very simple, is to build Chinese-style grotesque, or as close to this feeling. In production, we refer to the bible legends and Tim Burton, one is traditional one is weird, very appropriate.
In addition, we also went to a lot of Taoist field to take photos and collect data.


3D can make people feel more immersive，and 2D feels very intimate.
The secret from 3d to 2d-hand painting texture map


the shade map of "Oddly" is entirely hand-painted watercolor. The paper grainy is very clear. This would more fully restore the two-dimensional effect.
Add outline for the model

[3d animation]Curieusement Oddly

A Chinese ghost story, kind of weird and scary story. The most attractive point is the combine of 3d animation and 2d like render. Also the environment is quite nice,i like the gloomy and misty feelings, they use a lot of chinese elements, such as the curve shape of the wave, the cloud pattern. I want to make a 3d animation like this as my major project, i may get some reference from the style.

[3d animation]THE BEAUTY

a quite nice 3d animation, i like the style and may be i will use some reference in my next project.



the style is based on a kind of chinese painting, which is detailed and flaten.

The light setting is also good, the environment appears kind of dark and blured, so people can focus on the character.

Pr 1 storyboard

An interesting web, good example

http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix

find an interesting web. It lets you create your own music. Just click on the grid, each on stands for a tone. Different pattern can cause different sound. I think it is a very good example for multimedia interaction between visual and hearing.

Hawking's prediction

http://bigthink.com/ideas/21570

In this video, Hawking predicts that people have to move to other planets. it sounds reasoned and well proved.

'The planet is heating up, Earth's population is expanding at an exponential rate, and the the natural resources vital to our survival are running out faster than we can replace them with sustainable alternatives. Even if the human race manages not to push itself to the brink of nuclear extinction, it is still a foregone conclusion that our aging sun will expand and swallow the Earth in roughly 7.6 billion years.’

Finally, 'Hawking says it will take man to make the planet uninhabitable and the billion years it will take for the sun to turn our planet into an arid wasteland, there is always the chance that a nearby supernova, an asteroid, or a quick and painless black hole could do us in.'
