如何制作一個卡通片
First, you need to decide on some basic ideas for a story.
首先,你要設定一個故事梗概。
This story is about a robot, Han. He always forgets things.
這個故事是關于一個機器人——Han,它總是忘事兒。
One day, Han meets his friends Sarah and Tim at the underground station.
一天,Han 在地鐵站遇到了它的朋友 Sarah 和 Tim。
He says, “I'm happy. I bought a new notebook. Now I won't forget things.”
它說,“我很高興,我買了一個新的筆記本電腦。現在,我不會再忘事兒了”。
Sarah says, “Yes. I have one too. Here it is.”
Sarah 說,“是的,我也有一個,這就是。”
Tim asks, “Where's yours, Han?”
Tim 問:“你的呢,Han?”
Han says, “Oh, no! I forgot to bring it!”
Han 說,“哦,不是吧!我忘帶了!”
In the second stage, think about the kinds of characters you want and what they will look like.
在第二階段,想想你想要的角色的類型和它們的模樣。
Han is a tall robot. He has square eyes. They are actually video cameras.
Han 是個高大的機器人,它有方形的眼睛,它們實際上是攝像頭。
Tim wears glasses, so he looks clever.
Tim 戴眼鏡,所以他看起來很機靈。
Sarah is a pleasant girl. She has straight, black hair.
Sarah 是位甜美的女孩。她有頭黑色的直發。
Now make a rough sketch of the story.
現在,繪制故事的草圖。
Next, use a computer to draw detailed pictures and add colour,
接下來,用電腦繪制詳細的圖片并增添色彩,
to make the characters and things appear to move, each picture should be made a little different from the one before it.
使人物和事情呈現移動,每幅圖片相對于前一幅應該有一點兒不同。
In the next stage, a computer program is used to put the pictures together as a film.
在下一階段中,用計算機程序把圖畫像膠卷一樣連起來。
Finally, record the voices and sound effects.
最后,錄制聲音和音效。
The actors will do the characters' voices. Their speech must match the pictures.
演員將為角色配音,他們的談吐必須與圖片相匹配。
Sound effects, like the noise of the underground, must also be added separately.
音效,如背景聲音,也必須分別添加。
After everything has been checked, the cartoon is ready to be played for everyone to enjoy.
檢查過所有的一切后,卡通就準備好播放供大家欣賞了。
