387 Mechanical Design
Many fans and critics said that Yuyuki Tono "can't tell stories" does not mean that the plot he conceived is not tortuous and exciting enough, has no depth, and has no attraction. Instead, it means that this big bald man has many questions about how to present the story he conceived in his heart to the audience.
Yuyuji Tono's works often set a vast and vast world. In a world of science fiction, there are colorful black technologies, complex power organizations, and long history and culture. These things jointly build a huge information system. However, when Yuyuji Tono conveys this information system to the audience, he often chooses to stuff it all over, or use continuous indirect attacks like a dragonfly.
If viewers who watch movies are a little less focused or have weaker understanding, they are likely to miss key information. They either watch repeatedly or keep watching five or six episodes in a fog, and then give up.
In addition, Yuyuyu Tono often uses self-talk when he wants the characters in the play to convey certain information or express his thoughts and emotions, and his lines are often extremely jumpy.
This "radio-wave system" performance method has increased the difficulty of viewing.
The Toyono series works that are slow-paced like "turna Gundam" that tell the story in a slow manner can be said to be hard to come by.
Perhaps for those "senior" anime fans who pretend to be "I've seen a certain animation, but you haven't heard it" the higher the threshold for watching an animation, the better.
However, for creators like Qin and Han, who hope that their works can be accepted by more people as much as possible, this is definitely not a good thing.
If "popularization" and "popularization" are used as the standard, there is a work in the Gundam series that is undoubtedly the best, that is "Gundam seed".
This new century Gundam work swept away the decline that had gradually emerged before the Gundam series and achieved unprecedented response.
However, this Gundam work, which has been commercially successful, has many criticisms. For example, the most common point is: "plagiarism" of the original ancestor of the series "Mobile Suit Gundam 0079".
Judging from the plot, SEED and 0079 do have some similarities. For example, at the beginning, civilian teenagers accidentally boarded Gundam, then took a space warship and fled to the earth, while also having to deal with the enemy's pursuit.
However, apart from this, the two works do not have much similarities.
Especially in terms of the mental core.
Yuyuyuki Tono, who has experienced World War II, still expresses the cruelty of war in his works, and his life disappears meaninglessly.
In SEED, although it also expresses the cruelty of war with great significance, this is a means, not an end, and everything is based on the creation of characters. Therefore, this "idolized" Gundam can also attract a large number of new audiences who have never been in contact with this series.
Popularization, popularization and idolization are the success of "Gundam SEED". However, in its sequel "Gundam SEED-DESTINY", these three elements have also become the fuse of its failure.
He was vassalized by the public trend and flattered the audience, so that the script was temporarily changed, allowing the original protagonist to give way to the popular characters in the previous work. The supervisor and screenwriter are no longer the creators and controllers of the characters, but are bound by virtual characters.
This unheard of thing happened to the work "Gundam SEED-DESTINY".
Therefore, it is not surprising that its bad reputation and ratings are.
Qin and Han wanted to learn from the success of another world "Gundam Seed" and take the lessons of its sequel as a warning, and apply various experiences to the Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 in this world.
Of course, the main framework of the story and the main characters in it will not change.
If Amuro and Charia are missing, will Gundam or Gundam?
However, plots, lines and other things need to be slowly crafted and accumulated bit by bit, and now it is too urgent.
What you can really take out first is the mechanical setting.
The biggest profit point of robot animation is the model perimeter. Therefore, mechanical settings are the key among the keys.
Moreover, since it is a real robot that takes the science fiction route, rather than a purely fantasy, and uses a killing skill to deal with a super robot that fights monsters, it takes even more effort to set up the settings.
You can't do whatever you exaggerate and attract attention like super robot animation. At least after watching it, you will have the idea of "although I don't understand it very well, but I feel so awesome."
Since it is science fiction, the proportion of "science" must not be missing.
Qin Han recalled many classic mechanical settings in the Gundam series in his previous life. First of all, the bodies with wings with large wings in "Gundam seed" were eliminated first.
This exaggerated mechanical design style is indeed very handsome, and it can also highlight the protagonist's crazy and cool and arrogant fighting ability, and one riding as a thousand.
However, in terms of authenticity, there are some shortcomings. On the real battlefield, there are only technical weapons and drivers that exist as consumables, and there is no room for the protagonist to show off.
As for the "hair loss machine" in "Gundam W", it is also a very gorgeous and eye-catching setting.
However, this kind of body will not be inconsistent only in animations like "Gundam W" with a stage play performance style.
After thinking about it, Qin Han still felt that in "Gundam 0079", the landline of the protagonist Amro, RX78 Yuanzu Gundam, is the most suitable, and has the concise and simplicity of weapons.
Of course, then again, the mechanical setting of RX78 is a bit scented by the limitations of the times, from the current perspective.
Therefore, although Qin and Han Dynasty did not plan to add exaggerated plural large wings to the body and design a six-winged angel, it still needs to increase its complexity. For example, a backpack is essential.
When a backpack is installed behind the body, the overall feeling of balance is more, not as thin as before. Moreover, the backpack can also provide different weapons and functions for the body.
What are the sniper backpacks, heavy armed backpacks, and high mobile backpacks, which not only improve the body's capabilities, but also make the plot design more expandable. When you produce models in the future, you can also cheat more money.
After completing the mechanical setting draft in mind, Qin and Han began to work hard.
When he was at Dongda University, he studied mechanical engineering and drew three views of countless machine parts, and he was still very well-founded in this regard.
However, after a busy night, Qin Han was still not satisfied with his draft.
