The Existing Problem And Strategy Research Of Storyboard Design In Experimental Animation Creation

The creation of Experimental Animation advocates personal characters; reflects the creator`s inspiration,unique views or pursuing some artistic effects; and expresses some emotion, attitudes and thinking for certain things and people. Compared with the commercial animation, Experimental animation has no tortuous and thrilling plots, but its short refining and the unique approach reflect the power of art. By this way, it conveys the feeling of refreshing and intriguing truth, which is the very important and indispensable component in the art of animation. Experimental animation short films are simple, less time and less need to invest in cost. Being directed by director himself or a few creators, the Experimental animation short films is easy to be created, and the purpose of its creation is not to make a profit but to pay much attention to materials and methods and other characteristics, performance to express an exploration of a creative consciousness and the unique thought.Nowadays, the creation of experimental animation short films have been established as a teaching professional practice course, which is one of the particularly important courses in major colleges and universities.By adopting Montage language, animation storyboard design transfer the text in the script into pictures to give guidance to all animation creation personnel in following. After that, all the links must be made strictly and followed by the shooting script for production, which is a pivotal stage and is hailed as the "construction plan" in the creation of the whole animation film. The drawing of storyboard design requires creators to express all the episodes and complete thought in the screenplay writing of experimental animation short film, actually, it is a test of whether they have the ability to control the animation lens language flexibly.While the storyboard design and drawing affect the attraction and the spectator of animation films, it also decides the artistic quality of animation works to a great extent. However, in the process of learning and creation, the beginners in different majors will focus on the technical issues like how to do setting, how to impart color, how to choose materials and make special effects. However, they ignore the problem of how to design the storyboard which includes composition, how to use camera lens and how to grasp the rhythm of short films. In another words, they misinterpret the important part of animation short films creation and deny the decisive function and important position of the shooting script design. Therefore, in order to achieve satisfactory effects in animation creation, we must pay attention to the design of shooting script first.By the analysis of the problems which always appear and be ignored in the storyboard design process while the animation major students create short animation short films, the paper shall study and rethink the factors leading to the problems. Combining with the representative examples and the author’s own creating experience, the paper shall summarize practical and conductive suggestions and countermeasures for students at learning stage and beginners with little experience so as to make them be effective and create animations with great facility in the future and obtain good-quality experimental animation short films to themselves.
