Air-conditioning filled the entire restaurant, soft and melodious piano music filled the air, and a lazy afternoon atmosphere filled the air.
Guan Lang held up his chin and yawned. Sitting on the opposite seats were Qin Yanxi and Wu Yazhen.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. What have you been busy with recently? Why do you feel so listless?" Qin Yanxi asked with a hint of concern between her eyebrows after ordering her meal.
This is already the second week of summer vacation. Logically speaking, if you have no classes and rest at home all day, you shouldn't be so tired, right?
"Ah, I'm not busy with anything. I just used my free time during the summer vacation to try to make an animated short film." Guan Lang smiled.
He was actually not as tired as he looked.
The daily rest time is still very sufficient for him.
Despite the high-intensity work, relying on a well-arranged schedule and regular exercise every day, both physical and mental conditions are maintained well.
The reason why he looks lazy and lacks energy may be that he is out of work and is a little uncomfortable for a while.
"If you're doing animation, you should pay more attention to rest." Qin Yanxi wanted to say if there was anything she could do to help, but then she thought about it and realized that she didn't seem to be able to help, so she didn't say anything.
"Yeah, sister Xi, don't worry, I will supervise my cousin." Wu Yazhen nodded and interjected.
"The animation is finished, remember to send it to me for a look." Qin Yanxi was still very curious about the animated short film Guan Lang was making.
Her impression of animation was still at the stage of Infested Bears and Pleasant Goat, so she preconceptions that the animated short films produced by Guan Lang were similar works, and she also wondered why Guan Lang had such a childlike innocence.
"Sister Xi, you can look forward to it, the animated short film made by my cousin is super awesome!" Wu Yazhen said mischievously from the side.
These days, she often watches Guan Lang work and helps out a little from time to time.
Although she does not understand the animation production process very well, it does not prevent her from feeling the power of the finished product through each exquisite original painting.
It completely refreshed her impression of animators. It didn't look like a human being working at all, but like a machine that made no mistakes. It worked tirelessly and without rest. It was like a workshop assembly line, producing pieces of art.
Product drawings.
Qin Yanxi was aroused by her exaggerated tone of praise. It seems that the quality of the animated short film produced by Guan Lang is really high.
Guan Lang thought about the progress of his work.
It is now July 13th, and his original painting and mid-cut work are going very smoothly, without any major problems.
And it was faster than he expected. As the drawing continued to progress, his drawing speed, especially the mid-cut, almost increased to a speed that is unimaginable for normal animators.
He has now basically completed the drawing work of the sketch.
The work of clearing lines and coloring has already entered. This part of the production is purely hands-on.
This is really not nonsense, it is indeed true, especially for color filling. Anyone with normal color recognition can complete this job after training. It is to use software to fill in the corresponding color numbers on the computer against the already marked color numbers.
Just the color.
He worked on several computers at the same time, and his work efficiency was extremely high. He estimated that he could complete this work in just over a day of work.
This is also the reason why he came out to have dinner with Qin Yanxi now.
The task was exceeded and he was very satisfied with his progress, so there was nothing wrong with going out to relax and combine work with rest.
In addition, his little cousin was worried that he would suffocate himself by painting intensively at home all day long, so she also encouraged him to ask Qin Yanxi out for dinner.
However, he is not completely free from worries.
In fact, he is worried about the sound effects and dubbing of the animation.
He is just a painter, a writer. No matter how talented he is, he cannot compose a good soundtrack, various immersive sound effects and dubbing of multiple characters.
He has found some outsourcing studios that undertake animation audio production. Whether it is music or sound design-level Chinese and foreign dubbing, they can do it for him.
But what troubled him was that he didn't know much about studios in this field, and he didn't know their level and reputation.
It is certainly worry-free to find an audio studio rashly, but there is a big question mark about the finished product.
It would be good if the general graduation design or personal animation works can have sound effects. Record some audio yourself or find some sound resources on the Internet. If you think they are suitable, add them to the list.
He is different, he still pursues his own works.
He has tried his best to do his best on the screen, but he can't do anything about his voice.
No matter how good the picture is, without the assistance of excellent sound effects, the quality of the animation will be instantly lowered.
"Sound effects dubbing" Guan Lang muttered vaguely.
He was still waiting for news from Honghong.
She has connections with some reliable professional audio teams, including TV series and animations.
The reason why it has been delayed for so long is that on the one hand, Guan Lang has high standards, and on the other hand, due to insufficient funds, he cannot hire famous and big-name teams, so he is still looking for a suitable team.
This is also related to the fact that it is just a 20-minute short animation, and the workload involved is not large. Many teams are too lazy to take such a small order.
Although he was still concerned about the animation audio, there was nothing he could do now. The only thing he could do was to wait for news.
"Sound effects, dubbing?" Qin Yanxi, who was sitting opposite him, noticed his low murmur and asked. "Are you looking for a dubbing for animation?"
She hadn't thought of it just now, but now that Guan Lang was reminded, she realized that she could help here.
"Yes, I'm currently looking for a suitable audio studio to add sound effects and dubbing to my animations." Guan Lang replied casually.
He thought Qin Yanxi just asked casually and didn't think she could be of any help.
The fields of architecture and animation are quite far apart.
Even if some architectural design companies use multimedia to display plans, their animation short films are not commercial animations and are not the same thing at all.
"I have a cousin whose studio seems to be related to audio. She usually does sound effects work for TV series and movies, and occasionally cartoons. I remember her studio is quite professional. She introduced it to me.
They are doing the dubbing work for Hua Wan Gu, Qing Qing Ling, and Lingjian Mountain, and she seems to be quite idle recently, how about I help you ask her?"
"Sorry to trouble you," Guan Lang said with some surprise.
Qin Yanxi is really his Doraemon, she can help him solve any troubles.
