This 1 hour 40 minute video will I tell you I watched it for almost 3 hours? I will not comment on the plot, although it is a sci-fi theme with inspiration and passion, the protagonist's uninhibited personality, the loyal friendship between the team and the enviable love encounter, the plot design exceeds the limit of self-challenge, and trust partners. Regardless of the team, no matter how you look at it, it is a routine sci-fi racing film. But if you only focus on this point, it will completely deviate from the purpose of this film. We have been making 7 years and drawing 100,000 manuscript sheets. Is it just for you to say "the plot? . . . um . . . quite inspirational"? ? I don't mind the publishers using the above numbers as gimmicks in the promotional video, because all I can feel is the sincerity that makes people awe-inspiring - yes, this is a sincere work, a truly pure cartoon. When it comes to animation, we can restore it to its literal and purest meaning. Maybe we can outline such a picture: when you were a child, you drew continuous actions on the corners of each page of your notebook, and you can see it when you flip the book.” They're moving, so you feel like a creator, maybe you don't have the financial resources to buy a DV, and you don't have the appeal to let your classmates rehearse your script, but it doesn't matter, just rely on what you have in hand With pen and paper and a confident imagination, you can create the world! This is the power of animation, starting from its most primitive definition, and looking at every shot in "Red Line", it will be an unparalleled shock. The first impression of this animation is the hand-painted feeling from the pavement. The colors in the picture are distinct, giving people a look and feel of the old celluloid era, but they are also very careful in the processing of light and shadow details. There is no ambiguity in the place, especially when the mechanical movement state of the metal is shown by stretching the lens angle, the change of the surface gloss is also meticulously interpreted, and those racing cars full of punk feeling, all parts are running at the extreme speed, as the racing car because of When leaping and turning sharply to produce animation-like deformation, the surrounding parts also change shape, like twisted tires, restless engine pistons - I personally think that the expression of this kind of coordinated change between the bodies is the most difficult in painting. Think about how many original paintings are used to make the dazzling changes in these few seconds, I believe you will be shocked too. What amazes me most is the sense of synergy reflected in the picture. In the most beautiful theater animations, most of the shots still use static backgrounds, attracting the audience's attention through the actions of the main characters, so as not to pay attention to the background details, which will bring the audience a sense of hierarchy, and " The feeling brought to me by Red Line is the opposite. In addition to the actions of the main characters, the details are also spared. Simply put: the background also moves! It can be said that there is no "background" in this film, I just composed the animation with the original pictures that depict the picture you see!

So I often go back and watch the scene again: When the protagonists are talking, what are the people behind? When the gamblers were busy betting, did the ticket sellers burn their mouths because they were too anxious to eat hot buns? ....now you know why I spent 3 hours watching this movie? I don't know how to express my emotion when I see this animation because of the lack of words. Let's pay tribute to it, because it represents the purest animation spirit!
