Features: In the process of animation creation, character design is a very important aspect. This book collects many excellent animation examples from domestic animated films that have won multiple awards both domestically and internationally. For example:
- "Sun Wukong's Clever Battle with the Giant Spirit God" and "The Earth God of the Peach Garden Climbing the Staff" from Havoc in Heaven
- "Nezha's Self-Sacrifice" and "Li Jing Playing the Guqin" from Nezha Rebels the Sea
- "Sun Wukong Anger-Strikes the White Bone Demon" from The Golden Monkey Subdues the Demon
- "The Three Monks Fighting for Water" from The Three Monks
- "The Clamps Saving the Deer" with "The Clamps Playing the Flute and Marching Lightly"
- "Yu Rong Riding Herds Amidst Wind and Snow" from The Heroic Sisters of the Grassland
- "Little Chen Xiang Dancing with Cranes" from The Magic Lantern
- "TheBrothers" with "TheBrothers Performing a Continuous Backward Roll"
- "The Shepherd's Flute" with "The Shepherd Playing the Flute"
And more.
Additionally, there are over 30 types of walking and running actions of different characters in various emotions, as well as some action examples from co-produced animated films, totaling over 100 sets, covering more than 40 animated films. The content of this book is very rich, with high technical value in animation and a wide scope. It includes:
- Regular actions of characters and animals
- Performance actions designed according to the plot
- Emotional speaking actions
- Delicate and beautiful dance movements
- Dynamic and exaggerated actions
- Anthropomorphic actions of animals and objects, as well as model turning, facial expression dynamic illustrations, etc.
The greatest feature of this book is to freeze-frame each moment of continuous actions on the screen into static images, allowing readers to study them frame by frame while understanding the setting of key dynamics, the connection of action processes, the mastery of speed, and the use of frame counts in the creative techniques. With the popularization of digital animation production, this book provides the most intuitive reference and guidance for animators working in two-dimensional, three-dimensional, online, gaming, and other fields. It also serves as a model for animation education and research.
The Chinese Animation Examples embodies the creative essence of animation predecessors and fully demonstrates the profound foundation of animation creation. At the same time, it will have a far-reaching impact on the development of China's animation industry and the promotion of excellent national culture.
