Learn flash to make a scene in black story

Objective

We see birds flying in the sky, flowers fluttering in the wind, the fish swim in the water, the old man stumbles, the children play and play,,,, all of this, our eyes are accurate to capture them, after the calculation of the brain, we found that these objects are moving in accordance with their own laws, their movements are so different , just because they all have their own characteristics. If the eyes see these objects do not move according to their own laws, J will report to us: "Find abnormal situation" ... In reality you can't see the fish flying in the sky----It's a myth, the old people in the ridge jump-----That is martial arts, let a pig like a monkey run-----that pig must be crazy to lose weight, a donkey suddenly said to me "I love you"-----then I have to fall. But these "impossible things" appear in a certain place, but not one person will feel abrupt! Friends may have guessed------cartoons. Yes, there are any impossible situations in the cartoons, our eyes can accept! Perhaps this is the charm of cartoons.

People are smart, more deceptive than other species, and their deception skills are maturing with the evolution of the process, and I'm not talking about other deception, just talking--deceiving our eyes. In the animation production process, designers have racked their brains, trying to do their best to deceive the audience's eyes. But no one will refuse this deception, because it allows us to enjoy endless enjoyment, no one does not like cartoons, or did not like cartoons, so we are happy to accept the deception, hope that the designers of the rapid change. Speaking of which I have to explain what----deceive our eyes. First of all, to tell you that cartoons are in various forms of painting as a means of expression, with a brush to draw a motionless, but is gradually changing the dynamic screen, through the camera, camera or computer-by-cell shooting or scanning, and then, 24 or 25 frames per second of the speed of continuous screening or broadcast, you can make the action, Live on the screen or on the screen, that's the cartoon. How many pictures does an animated short film really need? Just 10 minutes of animation, it is necessary to draw thousands of pictures. More than 100,000 pictures are needed to make a 120-minute animated cartoon like the familiar "Monkey House". Such a heavy and complex drawing task is the result of dozens of animators, who spent more than three years working hard. Therefore, the cartoon can be called a special art, animation professional theory and techniques, but also become a unique knowledge and technology, received widespread attention.

Cartoon and the general Film and television film feature is different from the (it is also an extremely important advantage), it often put the normal action and plot exaggerated deformation, often make people laugh and feel reasonable. As we speak of the beginning of the pig like monkeys run, the fish in the sky fly "and so on ... These are the usual cartoon "trick", without these exaggerated deformation cartoon also lost its unique charm. However, these exaggerated deformation (such as figure 1~3) in the real world does not exist! Also like "back daughter-in-law" inside the little boy to relieve diapers to pull down the moon in the sky (Figure 4~6). This is what I said---deceive our eyes! If a man learns this and uses it properly, he is a competent animator, and then he is the director. Of course, there are many cartoons, different styles have corresponding means of expression, realistic type of film is exaggerated deformation of the degree is very light or very small, and cute piece or similar "cat and mouse" humor film exaggerated deformation of the amplitude is very large. Exaggerated deformation means although commonly used, but must pay attention to the discretion, the use to use the foot, should not be used on a little bit, many times the animation is completely truthful imitation of the real action. We learn animation is very important--is to learn these different from the general film and television works of "Nothing" skills.

The advent of flash many ordinary people have the opportunity to learn animation and make animation, it should be said that the threshold of the cartoon greatly reduced, think of a few years ago don't say ordinary people, is engaged in animation industry for a long time comrade if want to make his own film is a how difficult things, I am in this industry for many years to participate in the production of the film many, But it's just a part of the whole movie or a link ... does not count as a complete piece of his work. Now through flash everyone can make their own works, you can do whatever you want to play, any gallop. Cartoons are no longer mysterious things, unfamiliar things. At this time, the need to learn animation production of more people, because many authors after the initial study of animation (Flash) has a certain understanding, very much want to know some relatively professional animation knowledge, or skill. In my own published work, I selected two animation scenes to resolve, hoping to help friends who like animation, they come from "black story" "Two Eggs legend."

Here we will make a scene in the black story.

Animation Demo Effect:

First of all, we have to understand the concept of this scene first. In this scene we need the boss and beggars to go to the street, slowly disappear, and the background and the sky has color and light changes, make a meaningful feeling, people have the imagination of space. (as pictured Q1)

The story in front of the scene confessed the boss took out money to more than 10 days not to eat beggars, things seemed to get better, but the boss's fake smile made the audience wonder what intrigue he had, and before the end of the story, I needed the footage from the back of the two men--to let the audience guess the end. Also is the author in the suspense, so as far as possible to make the lens effect far-reaching and mysterious unpredictable is what I strive to show.
In making this scene, you first have to make a few elements of the scene "components" separately. The following elements are:
1 The background of the streets and houses.
2 The boss and the beggar were walking on the component.
3 Background A gradient of the day slice.
(of which, component 2 requires a separate set of walking movements for each owner and beggar.) ）

(a) the Sky film

1 We're going to make the sky, with a rectangular tool to draw the square,

2 fill gradient, (as shown in Figure Q2), defined as component ' Day slice ', to be used.

(ii) Background
1, new blank components, named "Background."

2, we first use the mouse (with a digital board more convenient) to draw a street scene sketch, modify to the satisfaction of. (as pictured Q3)

(I make Flash animation background using brush tool, it is characterized by a strong sense of strokes.) ）

3, this sketch is very grass, can not be used directly in the inside of Flash, we insert a white key frame behind this frame. Turn on the onion skin function, at which point we can see the approximate image of the previous sketch. In this key frame we can draw a more precise background (figure Q4)

(Of course, to draw the background of the art problems I don't speak here, you can do their own way to draw different styles of background).

4, the more accurate background frame after painting, we can use the bottom of the toolbar two buttons ' SMOOTH ' and ' Stringten ' (Figure Q5)

To keep adjusting to what you need.

(iii) Beggars

1, new blank components, named as "Beggar go."
(The figure of the drawing and background of the same method of drawing, but in the animated cartoon characters of different images to approach, can not have too many deviations.) The characters walking in this movie are animated by the lattice.

2, in the assembly to draw characters walking posture, a total of six frames, six pictures, respectively, placed in each frame. Draw attention to the changes in the height of the characters walking and the perspective changes before and after the foot. (as shown in Figure Q7).

Also, there is a trick: you can draw other frames based on the first frame you draw, copy the part of the beggar that has not changed, draw the change part on this basis, but you should have a whole concept in mind to know how each frame needs to be set up, or to draw a sketch next to it, and then follow the sketch step by step.
(attention to observe the character's walking changes, with these six pictures, our beggars can be in situ cycle walking.) ）

3, in the timeline to adjust these six key frames of the number of frames, (such as Figure Q8)

I have a third frame than the sixth frame more than one frame, I think at 12 frames per second playback speed, this set the pace of the beggar to walk more appropriate. Sometimes the speed can be adjusted according to the different roles or the storyline needs.
(in the traditional TV animation production, the general situation next cycle walk to draw 13 pieces, one occupies two frames, TV 25 frames/s play speed, gait is like our usual walk, but in the role of mood changes, the number of frames will be corresponding changes, if the role of sad thinking, go slowly. Go faster when you are excited and impulsive. And the posture of walking will vary with emotion. In the production of Flash animation, because it is generally a personal work, no energy to make him like a real cartoon so meticulous, so I only painted 6, is equal to a reduction of half the number, but it seems to walk up. ）
Well, the beggar's component we have done.

(d) The Boss

The way the boss walks is exactly the same as the Beggar's, but the gait makes a difference. Cartoon, the role of body weight and volume and his speed has a great connection, volume, weight of the role of the slow movement of small, give a heavy feeling, and small size of the role of light weight corresponding to large, the frequency must be faster. These need the author to observe the experience, this is also helpful to the character of the performance.

At this point, the elements needed in the scene are ready, and we can go back to the main scene and edit the animation.

(a) First new file, the property basket set (as shown in Figure Q9)

(b) A new layer named "Sky Slice". Drag the sky from the library into the stage and set Alpha to 35% in the property basket (figure: Q10)

(Make the sky transparent some is to want the gray-black skies, because the background color is dark blue, the two glue will have this effect, you can also adjust according to their own needs)
