Role selection

In view of the fact that many viewers are not familiar with the insect world, the director of Insect Story deliberately chose ladybugs, black ants and red ants with the highest recognition as the protagonists of the film. "Ladybug is the most common insect character in animation works, because its image is more lovely than other insects; The huge contrast in color between black ants and red ants also makes the confrontation between the two families for a box of sugar cubes in atrix very eye-catching. " Thomas Chambo said. [4]

Production orientation

Unlike Hollywood animation, which personifies animal characters to the extreme, Thomas Chambers and Helen Grader don't want the characters in Insect Story to be too realistic or cartoonish. "Our goal is to strike a delicate balance between the two, based on the real characteristics of the documentary and the relative simplification of the design." Thomas Chambo said.

In terms of audio-visual effects, the two directors also hope that the style of the film is closer to the documentary rather than the typical animated film. "Real insects can't talk, smile, frown or blink. We want to keep these facial expressions missing and avoid making them too' humanized'. So although the audience will see that our characters have big eyes, they can't see their extremely anthropomorphic movements and expressions. " Helen Grader said.

Story background

Provence National Park in France is the main scene of the story of Insect Story. According to Helen Greider, this film is made by embedding animated characters into real scenes. "We first shot the real scene of the national park with film, and then made insect characters with computer animation. These insect images were added to the film through realistic image rendering in the later stage of production. " Helen Grader said. In order to show the wonderful scenery of the national park more truly, the film specially strengthens the processing of 3D visual effects. "Some scenes in the film even make the audience feel that they can reach out and touch the insects flying around them." Helen Greider said confidently, "Only by combining real movies with computer animated characters in a 3D picture, not a plane, can we highlight the magnificent effect of the micro-world." [5]

Film evaluation editor

This film is not without dialogue. It has a lot of conversations, but not in English or French.

Film stills (27 photos)

But a language that can be understood all over the world: insect language. Speaking and expressing with insect gestures and expressions is called Esperanto. (China Film Review)

Although the film looks like a summer pastime for mothers and children from the Chinese name and poster style, Netease film critics found that it is actually more suitable for adults to watch after evaluating the film. (Netease News Review) [1 1]

Insect Story is a very creative cartoon. There is no single voice dubbing all onomatopoeia words, but it is not difficult to understand. This feeling is very good. Very suitable for preschool children to watch movies. This painting is beautiful. Although exaggerated, it basically shows the life forms of various insects in nature. The rhythm of the whole film is also very compact, which is worth seeing. (Sina Entertainment Review) [12]

This film can be called "the epic of a ladybug". It went through hardships with black ants, was hunted by various fish and insects in the jungle, under the sea and in the air, and also experienced the grand war of red and black ants, and its imagination was very shocking. (Review by Fang Lu Movie Group) [13]

The film is full of imagination, constantly throwing out new insect species and various props with a sense of design, and taking a cursory look on the screen. Clumsy spiders, lovely ladybugs and clever ants take turns to appear, which is dizzying. There is no dialogue in the whole film, and the microscopic world of the insect kingdom is presented in 3 D. The combination of animation and real-life shooting creates a French animation blockbuster with different tastes from Hollywood animation. (Sichuan News Network Review) [2]

Film evaluation

Wonderful film review

Fantasy Drifting in The Insect Story

Insect Story, which was released not long ago, is an excellent animation. Apart from its horrible name, it is still worth pursuing. Compared with Story, people habitually think of cartoons made by Uncle Sam on the Hollywood assembly line, and Nalan personally prefers Tiny World. & gt

Nalan's Dream _ Film critic, drama critic, columnist and film industry observer _ 2016-01-17: 08

A little high, a little bad impression.

Originally, I thought that the selling point of "no dialogue" was very high, and the impression should not be bad. Who knows that all three of them are asleep. In terms of special effects, the large lens has done a good breadth to set off the smallness of the micro-world, and the details of insects have passed, but the combination of real scene and CG is very enlightening ... & gt

Liuchuan Ziyun _ Perceptual Movie Watching and Rational Film Review _ 2016-01-1523: 41

Insect natural person

There are no words in the poem/dream movie, but the chirping between insects is the most vivid line. In the microscopic insect world, Insect Story uses CG animation and real forest beauty to interpret a picture of insect nature and human ecology in midsummer. & gt

Ask for some posters of Miyazaki Hayao animated films. It seems that you also like Miyazaki Hayao's works. Me, too. I love it. I'll tell you a way to get a lot of pictures of any scene in his works, that is, you can play any of his movies you downloaded with QQ audio-visual player. In the process of watching, if you think which one of them is very good, you can use the camera function of the player to take pictures of them and store them in your computer. The pixels are quite good. You can have a try.

Which movie poster do you like? I have watched many movies recently and have been thinking about how to make an excellent movie poster.

Before watching a movie, it can stimulate your strong interest;

After watching the movie, you have an "epiphany" feeling about some plots in the movie;

Apart from the film, it is an independent aesthetic work.

Before 1980s, movie posters were all printed and produced by the mother party, especially those hand-painted movie posters with masters of painting, which not only improved the artistic taste of movie posters, but also had certain collection value. Nowadays, the introduction of high technology has brought a revolution to the production of movie posters, which makes the production of movie posters very convenient and easy. Compared with traditional craft posters, it has almost no collection value.

Watching movies is a luxury in an era when TV sets are not popular. In the era when mobile phones can watch movies, watching movies has become a daily necessity. Therefore, movie posters become more popular and commercialized, which weakens the artistry of movie posters.

But there are also a group of designers who use their own expressions to describe their love for movies. Their works are changeable in style, and they don't emphasize the star effect, but pay more attention to the expression of the essence of the film. The purpose of these posters is not how to "sell" the film, but as a deeper interpretation of the film from the audience's point of view, more like a review of the film.

Therefore, I selected a series of posters from three aspects to share and appreciate with you:

First, give you an epiphany.

0 1 Titanic

Cameron's classic Titanic was popular all over the world, and I still remember the poster at that time.

When the little plum on the original poster is in full swing, the poster picture on the lower right can remind you of the classic sentence "youjumpijump".

These excellent movie posters that you have never seen are definitely worth collecting!

The film begins with In the Center of the Sea, ends with In the Center of the Sea, and is finally sunk into the Atlantic by Grandma Ruth. I recommend this one to you. It was designed by LaurentDurieux. The core element of the poster is the desire for wealth and desire, using the most popular Trajan font in the film circle.

Excluding text messages, when I first saw this poster, it was difficult to connect it with Titanic. A closer look reveals that it is the heart of the sea hanging on Grandma Ruth's chest, and the shape of the collar cleverly constitutes the deck of the Titanic.

These excellent movie posters that you have never seen are definitely worth collecting!

02 Alone at Home

Probably my favorite comedy movie so far. 1990 movie, the plot, scene and characters are all good. Different from some comedy movies, its punch line comes from each actor's perfect interpretation of the role and, of course, the clever thinking of the screenwriter. After so many years, it seems that even the United States itself has failed to make the same film. The following poster design from AdamSimpson has also been cleverly thought by the designer. Kevin, the "kid", did not appear in the picture, but showed Kevin's wit through the antics of a stupid thief, as humorous as the plot of a movie! These excellent movie posters that you have never seen are definitely worth collecting!

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Such as the title-"The Last Jedi", AndrewKwan's poster design has no suspense, and the title is given in the most intuitive way: the tired back is slowly disappearing against the blood of the sunset, a legend is over, and two suns are hanging in the air, which is the origin and the best destination of Luke.

04 Escape from Breaking Bad

The 90th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, a thoughtful film full of horror, racial issues and technological elements.

JayShaw's design is a common poster design style in the 1990s. It removes color and focuses on graphics and layout expression. The picture is fixed on the action of "taking out" the spoon from the head cup, which means to replace it intentionally, and also focuses on "GetOut" visually, which is meaningful. Just like this movie, fear will not appear when you think it is coming, but hiding in The Secret Behind is bolder than you think.

The jazz soundtrack and Rhodes' conspiracy theory in the film make the film full of black humor and irony.

05 "007: Ghost Party"

Whether you watch this movie or not, you must watch the title of "007: Ghost Party". Its expression can be appreciated as an independent film, and some people even give a better evaluation than the film.

The ring in the title of the film is the theme of the film: Ghost Party. The pattern on the ring is a combination of octopus and ghost. The poster of "007: Ghost Party" is full of handsome guys and beautiful women daniel craig and monica bellucci.

From this point of view, PedroB's poster. Like the title of "007: Ghost Party", Maia version prefers to express the theme of the film with octopus, ghost, skeleton and other elements.

The title of "007: Ghost Party"

Off-topic: The soundtrack of "007: Ghost Party" is "Writing" sung by British male singer SamSmith.

Swiss Army Man

Master Xing is right. Playing a dead body is a technical job. DanielRadcliffe, a famous actor in Harry Potter, plays a very important corpse in The Swiss Army Knife. This "corpse" can make faces, spit and do almost anything. It even shows amazing functions-the violent "fart flow" can be turned into a jet rowing boat, leaving the desert island with another protagonist, Hank.

This is a film classified by Baidu as plot, comedy and adventure. To be correct, this is a black comedy. Pedro Bo. Maia version of the Swiss Army Knife poster is designed from a special perspective. A close look at this special composition and absurd behavior is just like watching this movie.

07 heroes 6

There is no doubt that the popularity of Great White is much higher than the film itself. The facial modeling of "Dabai" is inspired by Bell in Japan. ShiyoonKim, a character designer, found that there was a slender gap connecting the two holes in the upper part of the clock, which inspired the design of lines connecting the two eyes.

This minimalist design concept without mouth allows Dabai to express emotions with blinking and body movements, but it gives you more explanations of Dabai's rich body language. BerkayDaglar's poster is very well interpreted.

Second, make a movie a still picture.

Aside from the plot, many movies have high-quality pictures. Among them, wes anderson's film "The Grand Budapest Hotel", in which the tone, props, scenery, high saturation color, and attention to the details of each frame have reached a paranoid level.

Such picture composition and color application bring a visual feast to the people watching the movie.

The poster works recommended below are not as simple as capturing pictures from films, but are used by designers through their personal styles.

star wars: episode vi return of the jedi

JaehwaLee's poster, with a clean background, creates a broad sense of space, which makes the role modeling more prominent, and the beauty of Star Wars fonts is unobstructed.

09 Batman

The beauty of black. Batman, as a dark hero, and the plot itself and scene style are active in the overall atmosphere of darkness, cleverly using black as an illustration, laying the emotional tone of the dark picture.

10 water story

Sargam fell in love with fishermen, although the times were fixed in the depressing background of the Cold War, which involved real social problems such as racial discrimination, homosexuality and gender weakness in today's society. But the story integrates lust and almost sacred love into the image of "water" and completes a beautiful and fantastic adult fairy tale.

Edward Scissorhands

It never snowed before where the hostess lived. Only when Edward appeared did white snow flowers begin to fly on that land. As a machine, Edward has almost no expression, and a pair of sharp scissors hands is not conducive to expressing feelings. The cold tone is even more memorable against his pale face.

12 Oscar Pistorius 2049

This film highlights the color without losing the dystopian feeling. The director is roger deakins. The picture is either a desert filled with smoke or a cold and humid rainy night, which successfully makes you feel uncomfortable in the future. Any frame of the picture is a work of art.

And the following poster, ChrisSkinner, through his personal style, reappears Cyberpunk-style street scenes and ambiguous neon tubes in front of you.

13 matrix

The classic sci-fi film of 20 years ago, ChrisSkinner described the scene in his own way, and the details were handled in detail, which can be enjoyed as an independent work.
