In response to the theme 'Force', I used multiple softwares to recreate a new style for the studio1 project. The rules are:
- 1. Use only color blocks to compose the picture.
- 2.Using 2D and 3D software at the same time.
- 3.Cannot have color gradients.
Through the steps of transforming the style of the project, I got a deeper understanding of the simplistic style of animation. In the whole production steps, the pre-production steps in my opinion is very critical, because in the pre-production I can show the details that I want to show, such as shadows and highlights and other details. This often gives me the features I want in the final step of simplifying the image, but it often comes with problems, such as problems with the representation of certain colors. There is still a lot of room for improvement in my production process.
Similar work has been produced by Japanese animator Masanobu Hiraoka. He is a very personal style of animator, in his personal original animation he has been adhering to his unique production principles, using color blocks to express the animation, his kind of deformation animation has a very stunning effect. His transformation animation has a very smooth expression effect.
