Kevin Chen wishes the style of this 3D MTV to have feminine satisfaction
and gentleness that will be significantly different from the savageness,
coldness and hardness of the star war. Therefore, the entire site
scene is to avoid pointed and sharp formation and the sense of
too much metal as much as possible. In this short plot, there
are totally two major site scenes, i.e., the designed cabin of
the inner part of the Sparrow and the giant interplanetary stage.
This, to Kevin Chen who had worked hundreds of various types of
cartoon movie, is but another plot of "Cartoon". But
this piece is not similar to usual formerly existed cartoon work
movie. It started with an entirely imagery story. Moreover, it
also entered a 3D animation world that has never been experienced,
to accept a brand new challenge. Therefore, this 3D MTV is exactly
his first new taste of the combination of traditional animation
and 3D animation. Here are some of his experiences in designing
site scenes that he would like to share with everybody:
a. First setup a good melody. Either the formation or colors of
the site scene should go according to this melody. For instance,
the melody of this movie is "To melt into classic in high-tech",
therefore, the appearances of many machines have no cold hard
feeling of metal but to comprise classic down-to-earth. In this
aspect, the animator Vincent of dftc Digital Images is said to
have dedicated his maximum merit and effort in the material quality.
The color tones and taste of quality for the whole inner cabin
make it looks golden classic beauty, and Geese Chu who is responsible
for building 3D site scenes is said to be Bureau Chief of "Virtual
Construction Bureau". b. The styles of scenes and characters
must be consistent As the four ladies are in the clothing that
emphasized daily live, therefore the scenes also needs to apply
simplicity as basic tone. But the story of this plot is structured
in "Pretty Woman", so, the MTV episodes appear on stage
at the later part are changed to brilliant contrast. c. The color
tones of the scene is not appropriate to be rich for avoiding
the focus of the character is absorbed Generally speaking, the
color tones of the scenes are the match of about two or three
colors. Never apply too many colors to make it looks like an export
painting. That certainly will make the piece "very common".
