Chapter 679 The Function of Ability Locks (Happy New Year)
More than just a bald head...

In fact, in domestic animation, many characters have problems with their head-to-body ratio. It can be said that children grow up watching "big-headed dolls".

Is there a problem with this aesthetic?
The answer is, no problem!
The similar aesthetics of big-headed dolls have a long history.As early as in ancient times, many handicrafts such as clay sculptures and porcelain dolls had a little bit of "big head and small body".

There is even a folk prop performance under the name of "big head doll" among the people.

To put it simply, it is a folk performance performed by a person wearing a huge "doll helmet", wearing a variety of festive and colorful costumes, holding a cattail fan or a dust whisk, to drive away ghosts and pray for a good harvest and well-being.

Give another example.

In many New Year paintings, don’t they often depict images of boys and girls holding carp or “gold and silver ingots”?
As for the image of a child holding a carp or an ingot, the head-to-body ratio is also wrong, and the head is usually very big and conspicuous.

There's no point in going back to the origin.

What Gu Miao wanted to say was not whether the origin of the big-headed doll had a good meaning or a bad meaning.

He simply felt that animated characters with exaggerated head-to-body ratios would subtly affect many children, causing them to misjudge normal human figures.

"That's a good sentence. It smells like Pluto. I'll write it down first and see if I can use it later."

Dimension Studio is currently busy making the animation "Super Beast Armed Forces". Whether they can spare time and manpower depends on the progress of Huang Kun's project.

In the middle of speaking, Gu Miao suddenly saw Huang Kun picking up a pen and paper, as if he was memorizing something, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Regarding this point, Gu Miao, who is one of the ultra-luxury screenwriters of "Super Beast Armed Forces", actually knows the truth.

He does not advocate distorted aesthetics. He thinks that an animation work should conform to the perception of most people.

Therefore, in the animation setting of "Super Beast Armed", even if there is no power lock, with strong belief and excitation of power, super beast fighters can still summon super beasts.

Knowing that Mr. Gu came to inspect the work, Huang Kun couldn't do without hospitality. After all, he is busy directing the synthesis of special effects for "Super Beast Armed Forces"!

The same is true for power locks.

……

The animation "Bear Infested" is an out-and-out 3D animation, and the production requires the efforts of Dimension Studio.

Think about the logic first...

Gu Miao said with emotion: "The reason why the strong are strong is not because the tools they use are strong, but because the people who use the tools are strong... Uh! What are you doing?"

"That's right."

Especially the ability lock to summon super beasts.

Gu Miao, who originally wanted to continue with a few words of emotion, was rendered speechless by his operation, and for a moment forgot how to answer.

With such an explanation, it seems that the meaning of the ability lock is more complicated.But the meaning is the same, this thing is not a "lock", don't be misled by the name.

After packing up her things, Gu Miao went straight to Dimension Studio.

The rest of the work is nothing more than revising or filling in the content that has been discussed, and finally creating animation according to the plan and script.

It can be "exaggerated a little bit".

The planning seminar is almost over here.

"Mr. Gu, sit down for a while."

"The power lock is not linked to the super beast warrior, and the threshold for becoming a super beast warrior is not to have or use the power lock."

That's not to say that animations have to refer to real human proportions.

"It's finished!"

wrong!Big mistake!

Hearing Huang Kun's joking inquiry, Gu Miao pondered for a moment and gave her own answer: "A puzzle math toy for children?"

Huang Kun got up and walked to the workbench, rummaged through a large stack of documents, and quickly found what he wanted, and handed it to Gu Miao.

"This statement is very interesting..."

Gu Miao leaned over and took a look.

Huang Kun poured Mr. Gu a cup of coffee, called him to sit down on the sofa beside him, and said with a smile: "Does that mean that even those who get the power lock may not be able to become super beast warriors?" Woolen cloth?"

"Forehead!"

When the super beast fighters are not yet familiar with the method of stimulating and releasing supernatural energy, and do not have strong beliefs, use this to practice first.

This should be fine tuned.

Normal is fine.

Pluto... oh yes!
After reorganizing her thoughts, Gu Miao raised her head and asked Huang Kun, "You mentioned Pluto just now, but I forgot to ask you. Have you finished writing Pluto's lines?"

It's not an educational toy!

But not so exaggerated that it completely distorts the proportions of a normal human character.

In fact, the name of the ability lock is very problematic, because the ability lock is not a "lock" at all, but a key?
A tool to stimulate the supernatural energy in the body?
Ok!

Say the hammer!

He is not very familiar with the special effects of summoning, transformation or combination of the animation "Super Beast Armor".

In Gu Miao's view, Wanbao's bald and strong 3D modeling is not a normal human being.The neck is as thin as chopsticks, but the head is ridiculously big.

If you make a big-headed doll today, will you have to make a squint-eyed boy tomorrow?
Don't!
Gu Miao really couldn't accept it. The strange aesthetics that were divorced from the masses was destined to be evil heretics, the kind that would not be accepted by the general public.

A bald head is destined to have nothing to do with being handsome, and his character image does not need to be overly modified. It is OK to change the head-to-body ratio to make it look more harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

After children have learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and the nine-nine multiplication table, what is the use of this mathematical educational toy?

Maybe at this time, some smart people will say, what kind of bullshit power lock, isn't that the "transformer" or "summoner" in the special drama?

"What's the use of the ability lock?"

The ability lock, on the surface, is the summoner used by super beast fighters like Huo Linfei to summon super beasts to complete the transformation, but it is really not a summoner.

Before children learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, or the nine-nine multiplication table, they should use this educational toy to familiarize themselves with the logic and methods of mathematical operations.

The function of the power lock is to stimulate and release different energy, and different energy is the key to summoning super beasts, or improving combat effectiveness.

only……

"Remember it!"

Huang Kun looked at Gu Miao with relish, blinked and said, "Keep talking, I love to hear it!"

Gu Miao: "..."

Looking back, my faith is stronger, and I know what is going on with the supernatural energy. Who still uses the supernatural power lock to summon and transform?
"Hahaha!"

Gu Miao took it over and took a look.

After only a few glances, without even taking a closer look, his expression immediately became tense.

Really do it!
Is this Pluto or Nietzsche?

He just asked Huang Kun and the screenwriter team to refer to more philosophical books, but he didn't ask them to directly extract famous quotes from famous people!
This is too preachy...
