Chapter 124 Build your own animation production team
Gu Feng was confused. He couldn't complain about the lack of functions in his own system. The introduction of everything was just like the Riddler, which really made him have high blood pressure.
There are a lot of words in this sentence, but Gu Feng couldn't extract any useful information from it. He couldn't say "Wow! It's a cocktail!", right? He didn't come here for the wine.
I don’t like to drink. Secondly, if I want to drink cocktails, which bar can’t serve them? You can’t spend a whole 10 million points just for the sake of craving for a bar?
Gu Feng was quite depressed. He was afraid that this travel cocktail was as deceptive as Dream Coffee. After all, although this thing can be obtained again in the future, it would be a waste. The experience of giving Dream Coffee to Mayuki for the first time is still vivid in his mind.
Where is the purpose?
But there is no point in thinking about it anymore. After all, the method of using this new thing is completely blind, so I can only wait to be more careful when using it.
Anyway, I can't use it for the time being. I'll consider whether to use it after I decide what to make for my next game.
Continuing with the lottery, I drew two million rounds again, and the remaining fraction was better than nothing. I drew ten rounds in a row, and I really lost interest in the single draw.
The skills corresponding to the three experience books are operation, storyboarding, and art.
This experience book contains 1000 experience points, which is exactly equivalent to the experience value from level 7 to level 8.
Gu Feng is quite satisfied with the results of the lottery. Except that the operation seems to be difficult to use for the time being, storyboarding and art are the skills he needs most at the moment.
After taking some time to finish reading the book, the levels of all three skills were improved.
Storyboarding increased from level 5 (60%) to level 7 (80.6%).
Artist level has been increased from level 7 (0.5%) to level 8 (0.5%).
Operations increased from level 7 (32.3%) to level 8 (32.3%).
After eating, Gu Feng felt a little dizzy, and fell asleep on the bed as he was drowsy.
Gu Feng didn't wake up again until the alarm clock rang in the early morning.
When I woke up, I felt like I used to stay up late to read novels, and I had no idea how I fell asleep out of nowhere.
Stretching a lot, Gu Feng felt that his condition was surprisingly good. Thinking back to the new knowledge that was slowly digested in his sleep, he could clearly feel the qualitative gap between skill levels 7 and 8.
Change.
With an 8th level art level, Gu Feng feels that he has probably joined the top circles in the country in this field. He will take some time to work on it and make a female character that is convex and slender, and is suitable for both men and women.
It's not a big problem.
As for the improvement in operation, it is better to verify.
Gu Feng spread his hands flat and tried to move his fingers as fast as possible. All he saw was that the fingers of his hands were flying and the afterimages were flashing. If anyone else saw this scene, it would really be a man silently crying and a woman crying.
It can be said that even if Gu Feng stops making games in the future, he will definitely be able to make a living just by relying on his exquisite "craftsmanship".
After all, his right hand is Gu Feng's dominant hand. When he was only at level 7, he could still faintly feel a slight lag when operating with his left hand. It felt like a clockwork that had not been wound after being used for a long time.
Same as lubricating oil.
This is even more obvious when it comes to the number of clicks per minute. In the past, Gu Feng could click about 700 times with a single finger on his right hand, but only about 550 times with a single finger on his left hand. The gap was extremely obvious.
But now he can clearly feel that the difference in sensitivity between the two hands has narrowed to a very small level. Even without testing, he can feel that the number of clicks per minute of both hands can easily exceed 720, which is a frequency of 12 clicks per second.
Gu Feng didn't know how far human beings could go. He only knew that the record holder for the fastest hand speed in his previous life was 1.16 times per second, which is equivalent to 960 times per minute. Although it sounded like the immortal cultivator in the novel in the blink of an eye.
Fighting hundreds or thousands of times is a distance that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, but this speed is already quite inhuman.
After all, the hand speed of a normal person is only about 6 to 10 times per second. If it is lower than 6, then he is really handicapped.
The improvement in operation made Gu Feng want to log in to StarCraft immediately to try out how far his current stable APM could reach.
Forget it, let's talk about it in a few days. It's time to buy it early. After all, his storyboarding skills have been upgraded by two levels. He also thought of solutions to some of the problems that have been bothering him in the past two days. The storyboard script for the Pokémon animation was just that.
It was the top priority at the moment, so Gu Feng temporarily suppressed the idea of playing games.
Gu Feng was attentive when he entered working mode. If there were not people around him who cared about him, given his state of forgetting sleep and food, it might not be impossible for him to travel through time again one day.
Half a month passed quickly. In addition to going out for fun with his girlfriend and sister on weekends, he also spent time with his girlfriend from time to time. During the workday, Gu Feng was busy working on the Pokémon storyboard day and night.
thing.
Because he did not want to create a bad trend in the company of working overtime when there was nothing to do, Gu Feng would not stay at the company to work overtime at night, but would go home after get off work as usual and continue working.
Half a month has passed, and his progress is quite satisfactory. The plot of the first 50 chapters has finally been compressed into 4 animated episodes. Each episode is expected to be about 30-35 minutes, excluding the opening and ending songs.
This time was definitely longer than the average in previous lives, but the reason why Gu Feng did this was not random.
To make an episode of animation from scratch to meet the broadcast requirements, there are actually many steps to go through, such as planning, script, settings, storyboards, design drafts, original paintings, line editing, scene beauty, 3D, motion inspection, scanning,
Coloring, special effects, photography, editing, recording, synthesis, music, dubbing, etc.
In previous lives, animations had 12 frames per second, 24 frames per second, and 25 frames per second. Of course, 3D animations also had 60 frames per second. Calculated at 25 frames per second, a 30-minute animation would be about 45,000
frame.
Nowadays, due to more advanced technology, the regular frame number of most animations on the market is about 72 frames per second. The specific difference between different frame numbers is like the same comic book, 24 frames in 1 second and 1 second.
After flipping through 72 pictures, the smoothness of the movements shown in the comic strips is completely different.
The higher the number of frames in 1 second, it obviously means more details in 1 second, a smoother picture, and a fuller expression, but accordingly, the production cycle and cost will naturally increase accordingly.
But even if you calculate it this way, in fact, a 30-minute animation episode only has about 400-600 shots. Compared with the early two-dimensional animation that required manual drawing of each frame, the production of 3D animation will use more technical means to improve
Production efficiency.
Take "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation as an Immortal" as an example. Many of its fighting scenes and daily scenes are original materials captured through live motion capture of action actors.
This world also has the technical ability to do this, but Gu Feng is a little confused that he hasn't seen any animation using this technology yet.
With motion capture technology and other advanced 3D animation production technologies, the actual time cost of producing an episode can be greatly shortened, but the overall production cost is higher than traditional 2D animation and general 3D animation.
Originally, Gu Feng wanted to cooperate with New World, but he suddenly thought of a problem recently. Even if the Pokémon animation is updated every week, it will probably take a year to complete the novel. He can't let it go.
A team from the other side will come over for a year's business trip, right?
It was impossible to completely outsource the animation production to them. Gu Feng didn't want to spend all the money and produce something that was completely inconsistent with the effect he expected. Moreover, the capital of Shu and the imperial capital were far away, so it was impossible for him.
Do you fly there often?
Moreover, "Pokemon Garden Tree" is only the first work to serve the game. If the effect is good, there may not be a second or third part in the future.
Thinking of this, it is better to ask for help than to ask for help yourself. Gu Feng had a bold idea in his mind. He wanted to create his own animation production team!
This team can usually receive external training, but Gu Feng can ignore these things. All he wants is that this team can meet his production needs and produce a finished animation that satisfies him.
After all, although it is not uncommon for game companies to form animation production teams in this world, it was not uncommon in previous lives. For example, Blizzard not only has an animation production team, but also has its own dubbing team.
The road that Chu Xin is going to take now is just the road that the predecessors have already walked. If Blizzard can go, why can’t Chu Xin?
After making a decision in his mind, Gu Feng immediately took action. After a short meeting with senior executives the next day, he directly asked Li Lan to release the recruitment information.
There is only one recruitment information, looking for an animation production supervisor with more than 10 years of animation production experience.
