It turns out that behind these figures, the creative team reinterpreted and produced the ancient version of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. First of all, we should preserve the original scenery and buildings. The seemingly simple process of removing the characters from the original work is actually very particular. JUNG WOO said that in order to retain all the features of the original work, hundreds of trees and buildings are indispensable, and the colors and painting styles are not bad at all. But the original has a history of thousands of years. To enlarge it 30 times, many details must be mended. Secondly, we need to make perspective effects for these backgrounds. The shading relationship between vegetation and buildings, the distribution of shadows and the changes of different light in the morning and evening are all determined by the creative team after repeated debugging and comparison.
The industry has been debating how many people and animals appeared in the ancient version of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. However, in the dynamic scene of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival in China Pavilion, it is necessary to make clear how many people and animals there are, so as to ensure that each dynamic model has its own actions. Therefore, under the guidance of experts related to ancient books, Crystal Stone not only retains the most representative figures in the original work, but also creates new figures according to other paintings of the same period. After hundreds of drafts, there are groups of pedestrians who wear and behave in line with the characteristics of the Northern Song Dynasty. As for the specific movements, although the technical production is no different from most animations, to show the realism of the original, we should start from the nuances. "For example, the camel team walks through the market, and the pedestrians next to it can't take care of each other, so they have to let the road or look sideways. This is natural." JUNG WOO said that in order to make the movements of each character and the relationship between different characters be carefully designed, at most, more than 70 people worked together to "move" the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, and it took nearly two years from the project establishment to the details completion.
Because of this, the scene of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival has many new highlights: In the original, a big ship is about to cross the arch of Hongqiao, and the boatman looks serious, and pedestrians look around, but has the ship crossed the bridge? The new work gives the answer: some boatmen use bamboo poles to support, some use long poles to hook the bridge to borrow money, some use hemp ropes to hold the ship's side, and some people are busy putting down the mast to let the ship pass ... Finally, after some intense busyness, the big ship staggered across Hongqiao. As for the night view of the city, only the dynamic riverside scene in Tomb-Sweeping Day was boldly imagined for the first time.
