My Animation Era

A new day has begun.

As one of Wanbao's top ten employees, Ma Kui got up from bed early, put on his clothes and went straight to the company without disturbing his sleeping wife beside him.

Just have breakfast on the way.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and the animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" project is not progressing smoothly. As the person in charge, he must lead by example.

7:05 am.

Ma Kui parked the car and took the elevator to the office of the animation "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" production team on the 11th floor of the headquarters.

"Good morning, Mr. Ma!"

"morning!"

Reaching out and patting the dark-eyed animator on the shoulder, Ma Kui stared at the computer screen with a solemn expression.

It’s still bad!

But he couldn't blame everyone, because he knew that everyone didn't understand weapons such as double knives, nunchucks, long sticks and double forks that were not commonly seen.

What use can be made of information found online at the last minute?

If you haven’t seen it, you haven’t seen it!

Even though the second version's fighting movements were redesigned based on existing film and television materials, they still look awkward and out of place.

"Or not……"

Shaking his head, Ma Kui said nothing, but waved his hand to indicate to the sleepy animator that he could go back and rest.

It's not just him.

He has been working overtime for the past two days, working hard to produce the visual effects team, action team, rendering team and compositing team for the animation "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Ma Kuiquan took a vacation.

On the one hand, after many days of high-load work, everyone has already accumulated a lot of fatigue, so they should go back and rest for a day or two to regain their energy before continuing to work.

On the other hand, the problem of designing fighting actions for these Ninja Turtles cannot be solved by these people.

You still need to find a professional.

Because weapons such as double knives, double forks, long sticks, and nunchucks are not common in life, many people have never even seen them.

Nunchucks and long sticks are better.

The former includes Li Xiaolong's movies, while the latter is relatively popular, and many fighting moves are based on reference.

But double knives and double forks...

to be honest.

In all his life, Ma Kui has never seen anyone use these two unpopular weapons. If it weren't for the fact that the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comics came out relatively early, he would have wanted to change them to "one-handed swords" and "one-handed swords."

Unfortunately, it can't be changed.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was a comic that came out first, and then Wanbao bought the copyright and adapted it into an "animation". There was a gap of nearly a year.

This means.

The two weapons, the double sword and the double fork, have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible to change them at will.

"Who are these people!"

Thinking of the original author's answer, Ma Kui felt dumbfounded.

According to the original author of the comic, the reason why he set the weapon like this is simpler: it’s cool! Very classy!

Yeah, cool…

But this also brought about a consequence, that is, in the comics, the protagonist's fights were solved in a few snaps, but it became Ma Kui's heartache during the animation production.

Many people have a misunderstanding.

That is, everyone thinks that "manga adaptation" animation is simple, it is too easy. Just follow the comics, and the animation will look like the comics.

But this is not the case.

To give a simple example, in the comic book "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", when the four protagonists teach the bad guys a lesson, they usually use "swish, swish, swish" and they are done in a few clicks.

The cartoon's depiction method is nothing more than drawing a few "phantom shadows" on the weapon, which symbolizes that the weapon is swung very quickly, and then it hits the bad guy's head, and the bad guy falls down.

Sounds simple, right?

Can it be made into an animation? Could it be that the animation also followed the comics and drew a "phantom" around the weapon, and when the screen changed, the bad guy fell?

If you think about it, you will understand that this is impossible.

The distressed Ma Kui decided to ask Guo Hongwei for help.

After all, Xiao Guo has made a martial arts-themed animation, so he should know more or less about the specific usage of weapons such as "double swords" and "double forks".

The result made him regretful.

Xiao Guo?

A complete martial arts idiot!

He doesn't know much more than Maguire. He was also unfamiliar with the two weapons, the double sword and the double fork.

…

"That's what it is."

Ma Kui, who had no choice but to report the situation to Mr. Gu, spread his hands with a very bitter expression.

"I understand……"

Gu Miao, who was instructing the original animator to restore the images of the first-generation rabbit and bald man based on his memory, touched his chin and asked, "You can't find the reference for the fighting movements of the double sword and the double fork?"

"Yes."

"Isn't that difficult to handle?"

Gu Miao smiled and said, "Since you don't even know the specific uses of the double knives and double forks, do you think the audience will understand?"

Ma Kui's eyes widened.

Seeing that he seemed to understand what she said, Gu Miao immediately nodded and said, "You don't understand, I don't understand, and the audience doesn't understand either."

"OK! Problem solved!"

"Since everyone doesn't understand, then don't play according to the routine and do whatever it takes to look cool! Anyway, the fighting movements are smooth and cool."

"That makes sense..."

Mr. Gu's words opened the door to a new world for Ma Kui. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had gotten into trouble without knowing it.

He doesn't understand double knives and double forks.

But what does it matter? If you don’t understand, can’t you design fighting moves for it?

As long as it's handsome and smooth and can make the audience enjoy watching it, that's enough! As for whether the design of these fighting actions makes sense, who cares?

As long as the audience doesn't know the ropes and can't see the loopholes, what does it matter if the nunchucks are used as "whips"?

"I see."

Ma Kui, relieved of his worries, finally smiled and said, "By the way, Mr. Gu, there is one more thing I would like to ask your opinion on."

The villain of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

In the background of the story, the cute and charming turtles, in addition to fighting evil ninjas and aliens, also shoulder the important task of "protecting the peace of the city" and fighting criminals.

Those criminals are all extremely vicious, evil men with guns and cannons...

In North America, it is actually normal for these villains to appear in the context of guns. But the problem is that now Guigui has moved to Jiangchuan.

Can Jiangchuan do the same?

"Change it!"

Gu Miao said nonchalantly: "Thermal weapons should appear as little as possible, and more villains like various biochemical monsters and evil ninjas should be used."

to be honest.

The turtles are very strong, but no matter how strong they are, there is a limit.

To be honest, it is a bit too difficult for the turtles to deal with thermal weapons. Their opponents should still be all kinds of cold weapons, and even evil weirdos who like to "punch".

"Hmm! It can also be like this..."

Gu Miao seemed to have thought of something in the middle of her words, and suddenly said to Ma Kui: "Since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are turtles, the turtle shells must also be used."

Under normal circumstances, hot weapons cannot be blocked.

But what if it’s a turtle shell?

That's the mutant turtle shell of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It can block bullets or something, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

This chapter says it can be posted, but I can’t see it. It’s not because it was deleted…
