开始之前,了解不同类型的动画很重要,因为这样就可以决定哪一种比较适合自己。
传统动画是指将影像手绘在半透明纸上,并通过配乐帮助确保以正确的顺序讲述故事。然后拍摄或扫描影像,接着再转换为动态影像。
你也可以使用动画数位板,以数字方式完成全部这些工作,这会让许多步骤变得更轻松。
2D animation is likely to be the first port of call for novice animators, with lots of software options available. This is a relatively straightforward method, with no need for perfect drawings skills. Plus, you can use software that enables you to move body parts independently, so you don’t have to constantly redraw characters.
3D 动画,即电脑生成的动画,更难掌握,因为需要熟谙 3D 建模技术。这些包括盒子(或细分)建模以及轮廓(或边缘)建模。利用动画板掌握这些技巧,你就能创造可以在软件中移动的模型,然后再由电脑完成关键影格(或称关键帧)之间移动角色的困难工作。
Stop motion animation, the use of objects such as puppets or clay models that are moved frame-by-frame, is rewarding but time consuming. Think of the work of Aardman, such as the Wallace and Gromit films.
阅读且研究过所有不同类型的动画之后,选择一种媒介来制作动画会很有帮助。2D 或许是理所当然的入门方式,因为相对好懂,又有大量软件和硬件可以协助你起步。
Wacom Cintiq 系列是很好的入门工具,让你可以在屏幕上绘制角色并制作动画。
与所有创造性工作一样,花时间练习动画必不可少。这表示要花时间在数位板或数位屏上绘图,或是学习软件的复杂功能。除了花时间在电脑上,出门时带一本素描本和铅笔也很是个好主意,观察不同人和动物的动作,并将这些画下来。这可以帮助你提升动画技巧,并且让角色的动作更加逼真。
只要你已经花了一些时间了解并学习软件的基础知识,就很值得看看不同的在线课程。其中许多都是免费的影片教学,但你也可以付费参加针对特定软件平台的课程。无论是想要学习如何制作简单的 2D 动画,或是制作 3D 杰作,这两者都会助你提升技能。
