PRODUCTION PROCESS 制作流程
i. Inspiration: The Power of Music 灵感启发：音乐的力量
To inspire myself, I first chose music that fits the theme. Music has a unique emotional guiding power, able to bring me into a specific emotional atmosphere, laying the foundation for the following creation. This time, I selected the theme song "Goodbye" from the German drama Dark, which conveys a mysterious, sad and irresistible sense of unknown fate, which complements the atmosphere of the work I want to convey. So throughout the whole creative process, I kept playing this song on a loop.
为了激发灵感，我首先选择了与主题相契合的音乐聆听。音乐具有独特的情感引导力，能够带我进入特定的情感氛围，为接下来的创作奠定基础。这次我选定了德剧《暗黑》的主题曲《Goodbye》，它传递出了一种神秘、悲凉又无法抵挡的命运未知质感，与我想要传递的作品氛围相得益彰，于是接下来整个创作过程中，我都在循环播放这首歌。
ii. Storyboard Design: Building the Story Skeleton 故事板设计：构建故事骨架
After having the inspiration, I started to design the storyboard. The storyboard is the skeleton of the work, which determines the basic composition and plot development of each scene. I sketched out the images in my mind, forming a series of coherent storyboards.
有了灵感之后，我开始着手设计故事板。故事板是作品的骨架，它确定了每个场景的基本构图和情节发展。我通过草图将脑海中的画面呈现出来，形成一系列连贯的故事板。
iii. Element Creation: The Combination of Creativity and Technology 元素制作：创意与技术的结合
Element creation is a crucial part of the production process. According to the schedule and progress requirements of the project, I dynamically adjust task arrangements and create multiple key elements. These elements include magic books, plants, two-dimensional worlds, and special effects elements, each of which carries a specific story significance. In the production process, I focus on the combination of creativity and technology, striving to make each element unique and meet the story requirements.
元素制作是制作过程中至关重要的一环。根据项目的档期和进度要求，我动态地调整任务安排，制作了多个关键元素。这些元素包括魔法书、植物、二维世界以及特效元素等，每个元素都承载着特定的故事意义。在制作过程中，我注重创意与技术的结合，力求将每个元素都打造得独具特色且符合故事需求。
iv. Special Effects Element: Add Vivid Colors 特效元素：增添生动色彩
Special effects are the key to enhancing the visual effects of a work. I designed three special effects for this 7s animation, including the butterfly effect when the world disappears, the ray effect in the book, and the 2D world effect, which add vivid colors to the animation. These special effects are closely related to the storyline, and I also pay attention to the coordination between special effects and the overall picture, ensuring that they can be naturally integrated into the work.
特效元素是提升作品视觉效果的关键。我为这个7s动画设计了三种特效，包含世界消失时的小蝴蝶特效、书中的射线特效以及二维世界的特效等，为动画增添了生动的色彩。这些特效与故事情节紧密相连，我也很注重特效与整体画面的协调性，确保它们能够自然地融入作品中。
v. Material Adjustment: Enhancing Artistic and Immersive Sense 材质调整：提升艺术感与沉浸感
Material adjustment is an indispensable part of the production process. I refine the material of the world when it disappears, allowing for subtle changes in light when the two worlds merge. At the same time, I also pay attention to the combination of materials and light and shadow, creating a more dreamlike scene effect.
材质调整是制作过程中不可忽视的一环。我通过对世界消失时的材质进行精细调整，让两个世界交融时呈现出细微的光线变化。同时，我也注重材质与光影的结合，打造出更加梦幻的场景效果。
vi. Animation Integration: The Perfect Harmony of Rhythm and Motion动画整合：节奏与动作的完美契合
In this important stage, I used the animation sequence of Unreal Engine to make fine adjustments to the keyframes, ensuring the smoothness and coherence of the animation.
在这一重要阶段，我运用了Unreal Engine的动画序列进行了精细的k帧调整，保证动画的流畅度和连贯性。
In terms of sound design, I used Adobe Premiere Pro to create multiple sound effects, such as ambient sound, book opening and closing sound, character exclamation sound, and magic special effect sound. These sound effects, combined with the images, make the whole work more vivid and three-dimensional.
音效设计方面，我运用了Adobe Premiere Pro编辑软件，设计了氛围音、书本开关声、角色惊叹声以及魔法特效声音等多重音效。这些音效与画面的结合，使得整个作品更加生动立体。
Finally, I exported the high frame rate animation to Adobe After Effects for the final rhythm adjustment, making the whole work more compact and powerful.
最后，我将高帧率的动画导出到Adobe After Effects中进行了最终的节奏调整，整个作品的节奏感更加紧凑有力。
