【Between Bears】





迷濛之間

我像是在作夢一樣

還是即將呢?


去除掉身上的歲月

痕跡

我是不是真的可以回到

童年

?


啟程吧 往哪?

追逐著夢想

蝴蝶正飛舞

我們邁步 奮力著

穿越過人生的每個場景

日曬 雨淋



然後愈走愈快

超前

也被超前

然後



在無法繼續邁步的當前

白鬚飄飄

是橋的盡頭

還是人生的



記憶裡的童年

白皙

瀕臨於當下

只是場白日夢





只是一片黑


我正向前望去





後記:

難解,也無正解,
作者僅說是對同年的懷想,以及對未來生活的想望...。

於是,僅想像白熊是昨日童年的象徵,黑熊是我們當下,身上的黑毛即是成長的痕跡。
剃毛,或許是對童年的回憶,期望回到過去。

倒敘法開頭,緊接音樂進來,人生開展,
黑毛依舊是人生成長的象徵,此刻化作蝴蝶,帶領著我們往前,奔走於人生的道路。

橋的盡頭,首先看見的,是老人,是人生的盡頭了嗎?
我們都曾憶想白熊,但終究會醒來,而發現我們依舊還是黑熊。

回憶過後,只,幽幽地望向前方。

In-Depth Shot Progression Reel

Here’s another progression reel by Jeff Gabor from Ice Age 3. This one is incredibly resourceful because of how thorough it is. Every stage of the shot’s development is shown. Would be animators can gauge just how much work it takes to make a shot like this that breezes by so quickly. This has already been posted at Animation Progression Reels, but I’m posting a high definition Quicktime download which is great for frame by frame analysis.

CGSOCIETY - Descendants

completion: July 2007
main software: XSI, zBrush, Royal Render, Photoshop
running time: 14:32min
官方網站(按此連結)

一部德國團隊製作的動畫短片,CGSOCIETY 有詳盡的幕後製作專題,共有四頁,點擊下圖連結:



心得:視覺上,SSS(次表面散射ex.葉子與皮膚的透光)的質感很有feel...整個算圖與合成的畫面氛圍都處理得很細緻,也包含貼圖。角色表演的部分,內心戲演得真好,眼神嘴角眉頭的肢體語言很細膩,讓角色的情緒更有渲染力。
故事題材也頗發人深省...Descendants是後裔子孫的意思...透過一個小小世界裡的幾個小小角色...寓言出了一種生命的嚴肅與現實...以及希望...... 。
另外,第一次看的時候,沒很認真聽對白,一方面能力有限,另一方面從視覺上,包含畫面構圖/鏡頭分鏡/角色表演/燈光氛圍...等等,似乎也足夠吸引人進到故事當中了,甚至,其實到最後,還是可以了解到故事想要講什麼,即便帶點模糊,卻也微有詩意。結論是,多念多聽些英文還是比較好的...。

The Runner - by Richard Spriggs

Best Animation Award Winner of CGSociety CGChallenge XXIV: Secret Agent



CGSOCIETY FEATURE ARTICLE 連結 ( 內容:兩頁製作過程介紹 )


* 看到作者介紹就足以嚇一跳了...竟然跟我同歲數...不禁自慚形穢...

* 另外..."B-movie" 顧名思義,就是 B 級片的意思,所以標準自然不必像觀賞A級片那樣要求,畢竟作者花了三個多月工作之餘的時間製作,也相當令人佩服了...

* 最後,分享作者的感言 " I really enjoy doing what I do. Animation is not only a job but a passion. I enjoy challenging myself and find a great sense of accomplishment in being able to bring characters to life. "

* 我的B級翻譯 -" 我真(他媽)的超級享受我所做的這一切 . 動畫根本就不只是份工作而已,而是熱情(轟轟轟!)。 我沉浸在挑戰自我的樂趣中,也同時從賦予角色生命的創作過程裡,獲得極高極爽的成就感。"
