Although you can also learn from ready-made lip reading books, the necessary first-hand information of your own observation is the most profound.
Although books are exquisite, they are only second-hand information that has been chewed by others.
Only by combining one's own experience and knowledge with systematic knowledge refined and compiled from books can a better learning effect be achieved.
However, we cannot kill all domestic animation with one stick. In recent years, the development of China's two-dimensional animation is still good.
In the past, Chinese animation mainly targeted children, so it was a frugal way of doing it with the least amount of money.
In addition, there are still many villains who are just greedy for state subsidies and don't care about the quality of the finished product, so the animation produced is naturally not much better.
Generally speaking, the frame image is already very smooth to the naked eye.
Disney's animations are all 24 frames, that is, one shot per shot.
In order to control costs, Japanese animation production companies generally adopt the method of one shot, two, and one shot, three, which is twelve frames per second and eight frames per second.
This is actually a relatively dangerous level, and in some action scenes the number of frames needs to be increased.
However, many Chinese animation companies are even more lazy than them, generally using one shot of three and one shot of four.
To a certain extent, it does greatly save the workload of the original animator and greatly control the cost, but it also causes the animation picture to be incoherent.
Of course, when it comes to mouth shape, you can save as much as you can.
Guan Lang didn't spend too much time observing the mouth shape. He could do this work at any time. He just needed to spend some time to sort it out occasionally.
His goal is not to become a lip language expert, as long as he can roughly summarize the relationship between Chinese pronunciation and mouth shape.
The characters drawn in this way can almost match their mouth shape when speaking.
The most urgent task is still to continue to expand the character dynamic material library in my head.
The richer it is, the easier it will be for him to draw original paintings in the future.
When you see the corresponding script text, you only need to call up the dynamic storyboards of similar characters in your mind, and you can express the pictures vividly in your pen without thinking too much.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will never make you chop wood again.
He did nothing all afternoon, just wandering around the yard.
With this special thought in mind, he discovered that there were so many materials near his home that there was no need to travel far.
People of different professions and ages.
Only then did he finally understand the true meaning of Thousands of People and Thousands of Different People.
The people who walk on the street and are simplified by the brain into a group of passers-by are also completely different individuals.
They have different personalities. Some people have difficulty controlling their emotions and are very angry and happy. Some people have weak emotions and expressionless faces. Their changes in mentality can only be felt through the tiny fluctuations between their eyebrows and eyes.
A pair of best friends holding arms, chatting and laughing might just be plastic sisters.
The boy who was teasing the little girl laughed wildly, but there was a hint of hesitation in his mocking expression.
You can lie with your words, but your expressions cannot.
The slightest detail in his demeanor can completely reveal the psychology and character of a stranger.
Guan Lang felt that he might not only need to learn teaching books on lip reading, but also read some books on expression control and micro-expressions.
When the sun set, Guan Lang bought groceries and went home with satisfaction.
He felt that he had gained a lot today, even more fruitful than yesterday's first study.
Yesterday was just an accumulation of knowledge and skills, but the opportunity to truly connect his golden fingers with painting will allow his career path to move forward and reach the top in the future.
In the evening, after finishing the evening exercise.
He was browsing an app for learning lip reading on his mobile phone. There were almost no lip reading books in China. Some of the books he read were basically research-oriented, and there were some problems in trying to learn skills quickly.
While playing with the app, he called up the image of the mouth shape he had observed at noon in his mind.
Progress is rapid.
Because he wanted to use a two-dimensional picture to express the effect of the mouth shape, he did not need to be very detailed. He only needed to summarize the pronunciation of more than 400 Chinese characters and come up with a rough set of fixed drawing methods for the mouth shape.
Of course, in addition to summarizing the data, this process also requires him to have strong translation capabilities to convert three-dimensional images into two-dimensional images.
Combining the information on the lip language app and the first-hand information obtained from his own observations, Guan Lang roughly summarized twelve mouth shape prototypes.
Of course, this does not mean that there are only these twelve types. People's mouth shapes are in a dynamic changing process.
If broken down, it can be roughly divided into preparatory movements to form the mouth shape, process movements to maintain the mouth shape, and final movements to end the mouth shape.
According to the pronunciation of different Chinese characters, the twelve sets of mouth shape prototypes he summarized also need to be deformed to a certain extent at different stages, and finally form a lifelike mouth shape animation image.
It doesn't look like he spent much time summing it up.
But it actually involves a lot of work.
Mainly due to his strong observation ability, recording ability, retrieval and summary ability, as well as strong art skills.
Under the control of the same thinking, an amazing coordination ability was formed, and finally it was possible to complete such a large workload in such a short period of time.
The result of the work is also very good. From Guan Lang's perspective, it is much more flexible than the fixed mouth shapes of most Japanese animations.
Wu Yazhen saw that he was working seriously and did not disturb him.
I find the meticulous look on his face with a faint smile particularly attractive.
After sorting out the information on mouth shapes, he was satisfied with today's work and was ready to strike while the iron was hot and continue learning about facial expressions and micro-expressions.
Human expressions may be much more complicated than the predictable and precise mouth movements.
Some people cry with laughter, and some people are extremely happy and sad.
Even the two most extreme emotions can be transformed quickly, not to mention the countless subtle emotional changes.
Even for an ordinary person, the turmoil in his heart is unimaginable.
During the conversation, the expression on the face may change smoothly again and again.
Fortunately, thanks to the sense of accomplishment after summarizing the mouth shapes, he was not discouraged even though the research and learning of facial expressions was more complicated.
This is not a short-term job and cannot be completed in one day. Just study it for a while.
The phoenix still needs to rise from the ashes of nirvana. If he wants to soar into the sky in the animation world, he also needs experience and skill honing, accumulating strength and lying dormant, waiting for the moment when the ground is thunderous and spreads its wings.
His early study, research and experience accumulation will become his future help and foundation.
