0211 /0212/0213 实践笔记

做这个动画可能需要非常多的Lora，分别是生成角色不同的角度，泛风格的适用，以及特定的道具lora。所以我的第一步是做一版风格lora，从几十本古籍中找到不同的图片信息，分为不同的方面的文件夹，挑选可用的图片进行训练。还是从风格lora开始训练，后面缺什么就补什么lora。说不定也需要加一点现代的人物、图片

如下图所示，经过直接测试用animatediff效果还是不如直接用kling。所以整个流程应该是flux+lora 生成关键帧，然后用kling生成动画。

接下来就是今天发现的特别有意思的点：可以倒回去用1.5的style lora，如视频对比的这样。好处就是可以掩盖掉很多缺陷，让画面更加统一、复古。并且如果有style lora，其实可以加入电脑三维镜头。这其实一直是一个痛点（AI生成的动画和镜头感太平了，根本取代不了三维的纵深和大动作）。

今天去laser cut体验了一下，我估计这个会比3D print速度快很多。因为3D print要重新开始打印（怎么预约helix可以在邮件里面看）。

sketch for my animation：我是想把动画做成极简线条的风格，有着一定的古代的神秘感，但是又很像古籍（武功秘籍）。并且还有一定的年代与猎奇感。现在的重点就是把故事板的具体细节给确定下来。

这个项目还是不能够完全脱离一开始的初衷，就是要把这个以长卷形式印刷出来的动画书籍做成真正类似于经书、或者武功秘籍一样的感觉，让观众有种真的在看武功秘籍但是又知道这个是假的感受。而不是单纯的只考虑用动画形式来表现。

所以画面应该是以书或者说明书的形式表现。剧情非常可能就是跟80s-90s的广告片一样。

比如：

猴子意外得到了一个来自于外星人的锅盖，开始接收宇宙电波，学习气功。

思考：故事可以是纯故事型的，但是能不能以一个说明书式的动画来展示呢？怎么使用这个信息锅（配上旁白），分章节像书籍一样介绍外气、内气、阴阳八卦、五行、天人合一，或者是怎么运气就像气功课一样，最后的效果如何etc

What is the topic for my animation?

My aim is to explore the expression of Chinese aesthetics in motion. So, I selected the Chinese traditional woodblock prints as the main research object, specifically, taking Tantou woodblock print as the case study by having fieldwork to explore the characteristics and attributes of its arts and crafts.

I found there are gaps between old prints and modern prints when we explore or analyse their visual characteristics, such as forms, lines, designs, etc. I guess the cause reason is mainly because of the cultural gap and art educational training system between modern China and ancient China.

But We can solve this problem by training LoRa after composing a dataset for LoRa that is from various ancient printed books that can date several hundreds of years. So that It could distil its visual characteristics with strong Chinese aesthetics objectively but without the limitation of intrinsic knowledge within every single person.

We could find the topic of ancient books that contained visual information that could be used for training LoRA are mainly focused on the following areas: 1. medicine

2. Kongfu

3. mysterious things

4. religion(Daoist,Buddism..)

5. others, such as political contents

   
   

which arouses my interest in combining all of these enjoyable visual elements without going beyond my research scope: Chinese aesthetics.

I am fascinated by designs and animations that evoke a retro feel. The 1980s and 1990s before China's open policy, representing a vigorous era in modern China, hold a special place in my imagination, fueled by pictures and videos that capture that period. I also see similarities between ancient China and early modern China, particularly in how people envision the past. Traditional Chinese printed books serve as records that reflect modern interpretations of earlier eras.

Concerning with story of my animation. I think Qigong is the perfect topic for connecting the modern audience with ancient aesthetics to create a retro illusion feeling, which also is the natural blender that concludes with topics such as superstitious belief, religion, Kongfu, medicine, and cosmology, which are also popular topics in ancient printed books.

Besides, it is a part of the Chinese people's collective memory, we can call it a cultural phenomenon. it was a trend that was endorsed by famous people and authorities and was well-known for every family from the 80S to the '90s, which also caused some clownish and funny common events, such as Xinxi Pot. Lastly, This topic mixes people's imagination and is a suitable topic for creating funny animation.

So, To some degree, Qigong could be, as the idea of this animation story, a bridge to connect modern audiences with traditional Chinese aesthetics.
