Now, let me give you a little demonstration!
You might as well imagine that we are not drawing a comic strip, but making a movie on paper! For example, let's draw a scene of a worker catching a train.
A comic book might need three pages: the first page has a panoramic view of the platform, the second page has a medium shot of people running, and the third page has a long shot of the train leaving the station;
But according to the storyboard method of Japanese comics, it can be solved in one page: close-up of the clock in the upper left corner (7:58), the character in the middle running with sweat (speed line + "boom boom" heartbeat sound), and the train wheel in the lower right corner (steam gushing out "puff" onomatopoeia), readers will naturally feel the sense of urgency.
This 'visual compression' technique allows us to convey twice as much information in comics with half the length!"
Perhaps everyone only had a vague understanding of Lin Huowang's boring explanation just now.
However, when Lin Huowang used actual cases to demonstrate in detail what the comic model is, everyone present felt as if the fog had been cleared and the sky was shining.
"Haha! So this is what comics are like! They are actually very similar to the storyboards of our movies."
"Yes, yes, yes! Just add some more coherent content and simple lines, four different frames on one page..."
“Well! This format is indeed good, although the comics do not include all the information scenes.
However, when readers read it, they can naturally imagine the whole scene and even the process in their minds. It’s magical.”
…
All three masters are national first-class artists, and they grew up in that war-torn era.
One can imagine how high their own artistic attainments are.
Moreover, they have worked in Chuncheng Film Studio for so many years, and are already very familiar with film shooting techniques and visual effects.
Therefore, when Lin Huowang revealed all the specifications, forms and secrets of the comics model, they had extremely high comprehension and not only immediately understood the essence of the comics, but also began to conceive in their minds more and better visual expressions.
Including the apprentices, everyone was eager to try.
They have worked in Spring City Film Studio for so many years, and they could only help out. After all, there are only a few movies made in a year, and the old masters can easily finish them. How could they really get the chance to get their hands on the work?
But this comic is different, the content of a magazine is more than two hundred pages.
And this form of comics is also very attractive to them.
So, in fact, Lin Huowang was more successful than expected and "conquered" these top technical masters of Chuncheng Film Studio.
