new visual experience

When 3D animation first entered people's field of vision, it will be regarded as a subversion of the animation and even the film industry. However, more and more low-quality 3D animations have begun to erode the animation market on a large scale, and fans' vision has gradually become saturated. Now animations have long stopped pursuing the three-dimensional effect of animation, but turned to new aesthetic visual challenges.

The Secret of the Book of Kells, the story originates from ancient Ireland, the story of a little monk who protects the nation's cultural heritage...very, very simple, but the whole film is a perfect visual feast. Vivid single line, humorous, like a gorgeous fairy tale book.

Of course, "The Story of the Book of Kells" is a work completely completed by a European production team, and its style is naturally different from the Hollywood-style cartoons released this year. Behind the simple story, there is bound to be the consistent style of this European film, and one symbol after another is embedded in each small character. The opposing thoughts of the dean and the monk, the image of the forest is full of danger and temptation, and the whole movie has been chanting the slogan of "spirit guides darkness to light"........I learn to sparse Qian can't break down the meaning behind these appearances one by one, but I can feel this animation masterpiece with unique style and strong European film culture.

Interestingly, this movie reminds me of the early Chinese animation, some excellent works of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, such as Hua Mao Chasing Butterfly and Nine Colored Deer. Especially the nine-colored deer, which is really similar in style to this Irish cartoon! It also has both expressionist style and timeless impressionism. The single line, the colorful picture and the harmonious rhythm with the music endow the picture with the beauty of the music. It is this kind of simple beauty that is not mixed with the slightest industrial flavor that is worthy of careful attention. Excellent film for taste.

But I don’t think China has realized that the animation art we used to play with is already our peak, and now we are still pursuing 3D effects, or bizarre stories that are sensationalized, or a group of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are offering their voices one by one, without any emotion. Cups.

If the secret of Kells can stand in front of the world like "I grew up in Iran", it will definitely set off a new trend of animation style. I also hope that the Chinese animation industry can realize this revolution sooner. Come, complete each animation art with your heart.
