White Snake: The Origin is not a stunning animation. Its plot and facebook characters are weak, but at least the film has a reasonable story that comes from classics and can keep pace with the times.
Although "The Green Snake Robbery" was born out of "The Legend of the White Snake", the film has no intention to reproduce the classic bridge of the original. But on the basis of continuing the relationship and core of the original characters, Xiaoqing's perspective is chosen to interpret the classics. Xiaoqing and Xiaobai have completely different personalities. Xiaobai is gentle and dignified, beautiful and generous, and quite classical. Xiaoqing is heroic, daring to love and hate, and full of modernity.
Production process:
The black wind tunnel war is very challenging in production. The feeling of watercolor Chinese style is actually difficult to show with three-dimensional animation. Huang Siyao, the art director, revealed that the design alone took three or four months. The animation process is more time-consuming and labor-intensive. Animation director Xie said that animators can only do animation for one second every day.
The duration of the film is 13 1 minute, and there are many grand visual effects scenes of fantasy and adventure. The production difficulty and workload can be imagined. Including a mountain, a temple, a tower and a tree in the cave, with the movement of the lens, the scene of the four seasons is changing, and the visual effect is amazing.
However, it is a great technical challenge to present watercolor Chinese style with three-dimensional animation. The black wind tunnel battle is one of the earliest passages in the whole film. The design alone took three or four months, 95 versions of the four-season cycle lens were made, and the production time of a single lens was as long as 90 days.
