02 Lesson 1 - Values Part 2 - Class Syllabus?

教學(xué)大綱。

class syllabus. 讓我們看下本教材任務(wù)是什么？Let me tell you exactly what this course going to entail.? 因?yàn)檎n程時(shí)長(zhǎng)所以目測(cè)我們陪伴幾周時(shí)間。And since we're gonna be spending the next few what I assumed to be weeks together. 讓我進(jìn)一步介紹下自己。Let me introduce myself a little bit further.你好我名字Airi Pan，你已經(jīng)是知道了。 Hello. Hello. My name is Airi Pan, but you already know that. 除了介紹名字，深入介紹，我是娛樂影視概念藝術(shù)專家。as of this recording, I am a professional concept artists in the entertainment industry. 我曾經(jīng)在風(fēng)格化專題動(dòng)畫NetFlix任職，以及影視娛樂界化妝藝術(shù)家。And I have worked on stylized feature animation with NetFlix. as well as TV and makeup artist in entertainment industry. And I have worked on stylized feature animation with NetFlix as well as TV and make up artists in the entertainment industry. 和影視華納兄弟和山雀電視劇動(dòng)畫片合作。And I have worked on stylized feature animation with NetFlix as well as TV animation with Warner brothers and titmouse. 我也在視頻游戲領(lǐng)域合作，和娛樂軟件動(dòng)視公司合作名為使命召喚的項(xiàng)目以及暴雪公司合作過。I also work in the video game sector on triple a IPS with companies like activision on titles like call of duty as well as with blizzard and 我曾在海龜巖石工作室工作過，參與了四部作品的制作。with turtle rock studios on back four blood additionally, 此外我才參與真人表演公司合作過，主題公園公司，以上是作為商業(yè)插畫師在國(guó)內(nèi)外合作項(xiàng)目。I work with live action companies, theme park companies and I also work as an illustrator both domestically and internationally. 概念藝術(shù)，對(duì)我而言不僅僅是一種工作，對(duì)我而言是一種激情，而且很可能也是你激情所在。Concept art to me isn't just a job because it's a passion of mine. And it's very likely that it is yours as well. 我們行業(yè)不像通常人們想的被迫謀生，Our industry isn't one that people are usually forced into. 我們不是會(huì)計(jì)師也不是股權(quán)業(yè)務(wù)分析師或者事故辯護(hù)律師，We’re not exactly accountants or private Equity business analyst or accident lawyers. 你可能和我們一樣，享受藝術(shù)，精益求精。And you're probably like me in the sense that we really enjoy art and want to essentially just get better at it. 因此我總是把學(xué)習(xí)放在待辦事項(xiàng)優(yōu)先級(jí)頂部。Therefore, I always put learning at the Top of my priority list, 因?yàn)槲业募夹g(shù)給我生活帶來成就感，because my craft brings so much meaning to my own life. 用正確的知識(shí)打開，日益精湛，持續(xù)協(xié)助我們前行。And knowing the right method and perfecting that method will keep all of us improving. 所以我們先快速過一下基本概念。So let's run quickly through what that is.?

P2 - 01:56快速介紹項(xiàng)目?jī)?nèi)容。?

The first thing is to understand black and white value structures.?首先我們需要理解的是黑白色閾值配比。The second would be composition.?第二是合成圖。Next would be color and lighting,?第三是配色和照明。and then into painting techniques, to help the image to get to a higher fidelity.?然后繪畫技巧幫助達(dá)到更高的逼真度。And then photo bashing techniques. We go for the highest level of fidelity.?然后照片沖洗技術(shù)，以求更高的保真度。And lastly speed painting.最后是素描。?

P2 - 02:22用比薩打比方說明結(jié)構(gòu)關(guān)聯(lián)。?

如果我們比喻成披薩，If you had to compare this to a pizza, because I love pizza,?黑白閾值和合成是面團(tuán)，I would say that the black and white values and composition is like the dough. So I'm gonna draw Pizza like this pretense of pizza.配色和照明是醬汁。And then your color and lighting would be the sauce.?繪畫技巧是頂部澆頭。And all the painting techniques, all three of these right here, these would be the topics.?都放在一起就是披薩。And if you put them all together, they make one pizza. Also. Trust me, you're gonna be hearing a lot of pizza analogies from here on, but hopefully you'll find that a good thing. ?

P2 - 02:55為什么這樣流程化？?

現(xiàn)在我們快速一一解釋一下公式方式是什么。Now I'm gonna quickly. And why exactly is formulated the way it is,我們從黑白閾值開始解釋，是圖片組成的基石。by starting off with the black and white values. Black and white values are honestly kind of the pillar of picture making.?讓我們了解光影隨行。They inform us about shadows. And thus they inform us about light.可以像Dean Cornwell做的那樣，用光傳遞信息，we can use light to convey Information like Dean cornwell is doing here.?或者用很大的形狀來傳遞光影信息，最經(jīng)典的就是藝術(shù)導(dǎo)演崗位職責(zé)。Or we can just use really big shapes.? And they are typically the first thing that will turn into an art director.葉通常是黑白對(duì)比的構(gòu)圖。?It would usually be some form of black and white composition.?此后，合成決定我們的受眾和我們受限。Afterwards, composition determines our audience and our constraints.?

P2 - 03:32不同尺寸比例適用不同場(chǎng)景。?

如果繪畫影視布景，用影視長(zhǎng)寬比。If it's a painting made for movies, and it's going to be a film length ratio.?如果是游戲，是1920乘以1080標(biāo)準(zhǔn)長(zhǎng)寬度。Or if it's a video game, it will be at 1920 by 1080 standard model size.?如果是手機(jī)，繪制成豎屏尺寸。Or if it's the phone, it will be a vertical format.?但是如果我們想要一部較長(zhǎng)的電影，但是如果我們所有信息用豎屏傳遞會(huì)是災(zāi)難性的結(jié)果，But if we want a movie, so like a super long length movie.?因?yàn)?D建模師按照你繪圖一幀幀的構(gòu)建。But we deliver all of our paintings vertically. It will be a disaster because it's a 3D modeler build your painting off exactly like pixel by pixel.?要么你繪制的被裁剪，要么屏幕被裁剪，顯然兩個(gè)措施都不合適。Either a majority of your painting is cut off or a majority of your screen is cut off, which is of course not good,所以我們探討合成問題如何正確補(bǔ)救措施。?which is why we are going to discuss composition to properly remedy that.?

P2 - 04:18上色和打光賦予生命力。?

此后，顏色和亮度賦予作品以生命力。Afterwards. Color and light breathed life into work,?很明顯你可以選擇任何你需要的顏色。and for obvious reasons tells you the color of whatever it is that you need to make.?因?yàn)轭伾r托情緒，協(xié)助你講述故事，惟妙惟肖。?But it can also create moods. Tell you stories and make your painting visually spectacular.?最后，繪畫技巧高保真度，讓目標(biāo)清晰，進(jìn)度加快。Lastly, the technique delivered in your painting will bring it to a higher fidelity. It will make things clear and also help you speed up your process?所以不要事無巨細(xì)的在不傳遞寓意的細(xì)節(jié)上浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。so that you don't have to draw every single brick on the wall or waste half of your life trying to detail every single tiny little leaf.?這就是流程化的原因所在。聽起來很多，接下來分解開來敘述。And that is the reason why this class is formulated the way it is. This looks like a lot of stuff to cover, but I'm going to break it down for you over the length of this course.

In almost all of the painting classes I ever took, we were always started off in a black and white. 大部分繪畫課都是從黑白閾值開始的。我們第一次繪畫課，去墓場(chǎng)寫生，Now in one of the classes I took, I remember in our first week we were sent to go out plain air painting at a graveyard, because that is the best place to paint anything clearly. 課程內(nèi)容讓我們做20分鐘黑灰白繪畫，學(xué)生們抱怨不已，說沒有自己喜歡的色彩，And we had to do 20 paintings all in purely three colors, black, white, and gray. Some of the students were kind of grumbling, because they were like, oh, my work isn't turning out good, because I don't have like color to work with. I don't have like blue, I don't have green, so I can't make anything cool and pretty. 老師走過來，用黑白灰三色示范出來。學(xué)生們口服心服。明白老師用意。And then our teacher walks over. He's like a really tall man who wears this hat. He walks over and he does a quick few strokes on that students canvas. And then suddenly the van a graveyard being hit with light, appeared under canvas with trees in the background. All in Only black, grey, and white, and also only in like 45 seconds. How did he do it? We will get back to that in just one second. I promise. One of my favorite statements i've ever heard. 聯(lián)想到一句諺語，黑白灰做了所有的工作，彩色卻獲得所有的贊賞。And I'm so sad because I'm not able to pinpoint exactly who said this told us as a class that black and white does all the work. Color takes all the credit.

? 為了強(qiáng)調(diào)這一點(diǎn)，我繪制來對(duì)比圖來說明，三種形狀前后重疊，左側(cè)用灰白黑色，右側(cè)是彩色。。to really emphasize that. Let's take a look at these three objects. Here I have a black and white in gray on the left side. And on the right side I have green, red and blue. 人眼睛不可避免的選擇彩色而不是黑白灰色。And the human eye is actually incredibly perceptive to value as opposed to being perceptive to color. 黑白灰色可以傳遞或近或遠(yuǎn)的信息。Because with value we are actually able to perceive if things are closer or further away, there's a lot more science that I can kind of go into. 用通俗易懂的解釋方法，人眼睛在黑夜中發(fā)現(xiàn)前面的障礙物，并不是通過五顏六色，而是通過黑灰白來分辨的。But essentially, we developed it because when it's dark at night, we need to be able to differentiate what is closer to us and what is not clear to us. Because if something is chasing us in the dark, there is a lot more important that we could see was in front of us rather than what the color is of the thing in front of us. So it's a biological thing from the very beginning. 現(xiàn)在我們看左側(cè)正方形亮度調(diào)高，離前面圓形更近，離觀眾更近。Therefore, if let's say that I turn this square. So on the left side, the square, I turn it really bright then it immediately becomes really close to the circle. We've effectively brought it closer to us as the audience. And vice versa. 如果正方形變暗，遠(yuǎn)離觀眾方向去。距離后面長(zhǎng)方形近，距離前面圓形遠(yuǎn)。If I turn this square darker, so like this, somewhere around here. Then I pushed it further back. It now feels like it's closer to the back rectangle than it does to the front white circle.?

???對(duì)比右側(cè)帶顏色的用同樣方式調(diào)節(jié)明亮并不能傳遞距離遠(yuǎn)近信息。?Unfortunately, color doesn't really work the same way.?藍(lán)色正方形變暗接近紅色，選擇變成紫色，沒有傳遞遠(yuǎn)近信息，Let’s say that we turn this bluish square to a shade that's a little bit closer to red, which would be purple. But as you can see. It doesn't really feel closer or further away.?如果朝前變成粉色，也并沒有感覺更近一點(diǎn)。We can even turn it a little bit more towards pink. But it doesn't feel like it's closer like the depth, does not really read very well. And vice versa.?如果我變成綠色，也沒有感覺更近或更遠(yuǎn)。If I change it to a more greenish color, it also doesn't read like it's getting closer or further away from anything, which is honestly a really big problem.不能展示遠(yuǎn)近信息就是最大的問題，顏色只能展示平面，無法展示遠(yuǎn)近景深。?Because in order to build pieces that are believable, we need to make the viewer feel as if something is closer or further away. But with these colors where it's all just flat colors, they all feel incredibly flat.?

??再進(jìn)一步強(qiáng)調(diào)，如果我們給圓環(huán)快速陰影，To further emphasize this, let's go into our circle. I'm actually going to just make a quick shade.?用簡(jiǎn)單填充半圓，你可以看到球形。And immediately, just with that simple stroke, you start to see that the circle becomes a sphere.但是同樣的填充半邊的操作方法，應(yīng)用于紅色圓形，你看到的不是球形的感覺，是畫壞的百事可樂標(biāo)識(shí)。?Whereas if I go into my red circle here and let's say I use a blue and I painted onto the red, unfortunately it is not really have the same effect. we don't really read this red circle as a sphere, but rather we read it as a really badly drawn pepsi logo.?如果我們不用其它顏色，用紅色本色，去增加紅色陰影，這樣才看起來像個(gè)紅色球體。說明圓形展示成球體是加深色，而不是其它顏色。There’s really no good way for me to take this red circle and turn it into a sphere without using a color that is effectively darker than the original red colour, which is the exact same thing as the sphere on the left, where we used a darker color or using a darker value.?

? 04:33 Therefore, my point is that black and white values deliver us so much more Information than what color alone could ever do.這就是為什么你看黑白色,你沒有看到純彩色，因?yàn)槿四X不是那樣工作的。?It's also why you can view a movie in purely black and white, but you'll never see a movie and just pure saturated color. Your brain just doesn't work that way.?我們需要看到光影對(duì)照。We need to see what starker and what’s lighter. That will tell us not only which items are which, they will also tell us a form through light and shadow.?

05:02現(xiàn)在我們回過頭去看繪畫老師45秒內(nèi)繪制的圖畫。Now We're gonna head back to my teacher's painting. I'm gonna show you a super simplified version of what he did. But because he did it in 45 seconds, I basically do it in 45 seconds as well.?

??這是從墓地最深陰影開始的，方法是放置一個(gè)前景。He start off by placing down the strongest shadow for the gravestone, by having a strong foreground. And then he put in a cast shadow for the gravestone.?用三種顏色，加入中度陰影，And then he adds in the medium shadows and bam immediately just using these three colors,?我們可以分辨小環(huán)境進(jìn)行趨勢(shì)。we can tell there's kind of a steam like a little tiny environment going on.?墓碑像是被光線照射。We had this gravestone being hit by light. in the background,?樹木陰影斑駁的。We have some trees being dotted.?前面是一小片草地。And we have this little patch of grass in the front.?用黑白灰三個(gè)閾值都是可以做到的。And this is all achievable, only using three values, black, white, and grey.?

05:47?對(duì)概念藝術(shù)家為什么重要呢？So why does this matter to us concept artists??第一，導(dǎo)演要求看到黑白灰縮略圖。Well, number one, a lot of times the director will want to see a thumbnail painting in a black and white.?在交付底稿前需要看到草稿。They want to see essentially a sketch before we deliver the final painting.?如果問藝術(shù)家快速出縮略草圖，一般是交付這樣的樣本。If it is usually faster to ask artist to draw in black and white.?把場(chǎng)景概念交代清楚。And it gives a very clear idea of what the scene would look like.?提供深度和清晰度明確的信息。It provides all Information in terms of depth and clarity.?實(shí)際上，不僅僅給Netflix服務(wù)，我也是先交付黑白灰縮略圖樣圖。In fact, for Netflix. If I were to deliver a painting, I would first deliver a black and white version of my painting.?導(dǎo)演審核過了，我再拿回黑白草圖上全色。And then after I get an okay from my director, then I will take the painting to full color.?這展示視頻游戲比如飛濺的藝術(shù)You'll also see this in video games such as for splash art illustrations, typically of forty artists.?幾組黑白縮略草圖呈交給藝術(shù)總監(jiān)。A couple of black and white sketches will be made to present to the art director.?藝術(shù)總監(jiān)會(huì)說，我選擇這幾個(gè)。And then the art director will probably go through and he'll be like, okay, yeah, I like this one. And this one may be a little bit of this one or something like that.?或者讓你修改不同的姿勢(shì)或少量頭發(fā)?；蛘吒淖兇驘舻慕嵌取r maybe you'll be like, oh, let's do a different pose or less change the hair. Or let's change the lighting angle. All kinds of stuff.?

? 06:49?對(duì)待角色設(shè)計(jì)也是同樣道理。Same thing with character design.?好角色設(shè)計(jì)要看到角色黑白閾值，They say that in a good character design, you should always be able to clearly see a blocks of value in the character,?不同部分都是清晰可見可以理解的。so that its different parts are clear and understandable.?比如快速給大家展示，這是探索者草圖我們分解成幾個(gè)大部位，讓一眼可以辨識(shí)出來。This is obviously very hastily done. But with tracer you can effectively break her down into these few core block shapes. And this is what makes her recognizable on the field.?當(dāng)然顏色非常重要，但是如果沒有閾值即使涂上顏色也是無定形的一團(tuán)。Of course, the colour is still very important, but without the value that everything would just merge together into one amorphous blob.?你可以看質(zhì)量效應(yīng)和金屬齒輪早期設(shè)計(jì)也是從黑白閾值開始繪制的。You can see here in early designs for characters in games such as mass effect and metal gear, the designs are black and white to start off with.?

? 07:32?最重要的是，第二點(diǎn)，黑白配比越是鮮明，上色就越到位。But most importantly, number two, the more understandable a painting looks in black and white, the more understandable and better the painting will look like in color.?如果概念藝術(shù)比喻為考駕照，黑白閾值就是考試內(nèi)容的基本考核點(diǎn)。否則最終的形狀很難被理解。It’s like the driving test for concept art. If you can't pass the black and white benchmark, it won't be understandable in its final form.?不要忘記，我們側(cè)重講述的不是高端藝術(shù)，是如何把藝術(shù)概念作為溝通橋梁呈現(xiàn)出來。Don’t forget, we're not making fine art in this class. We're trying to make things as clear and understandable as possible for our audience.?就像是建筑師不會(huì)拿出讓人看起來摸不著頭腦的圖紙。We are the architect and there is nothing more clear and understood to our brains than values.?

? 08:08?接下來我們看幾個(gè)我喜歡的例子。Let’s take a look at some of my favorite examples.?這是Yojimbo大鏢客電影的截圖，kazuo miyagawa作為攝影師。These are screen caps from the movie “Yojimbo”, directed by the legendary filmmaker “Akira Kurosawa”, and cinematography by kazuo miyagawa.?你可以看到黑色角色如何通過亮背景對(duì)比烘托出來的。You can see whatever is a dark character still use a light to highlight the characters out.?比如這黑角色輪廓被高亮背景烘托出來。For example, we have this very dark character silhouettes against a very light background.?這角色黑色的輪廓通過霧蒙蒙背景襯托出來。The same thing you will see in this picture right here where the character is all very dark silhouette against this really nice foggy background.?這樣讓角色視覺鑒別度提高。一公里開外角色都可以躍然紙上。This make the character visually distinct. So he pops out right onto the page and you can see it clearly from a Mile away.?黑角色亮背景，簡(jiǎn)單明了。again, dark character against a light background. It's so simple and clear.?霧蒙蒙背景烘托角色這完全是有意而為之的。And the fog that rumbles through this piece is completely intentional.?有意而為之角色會(huì)非常醒目。They did it so that the character would be able to stand out or?

?? 09:07?我們看亮角色黑背景的情況，let’s go to the opposite where you have a super dark background. But then the characters are incredibly light.?瞇起眼睛可以發(fā)現(xiàn)黑白界限的分水嶺的走線。In fact, if you squint your eyes, you could even argue that there's basically two values going on here.?前景是灰色的，背景是黑色的，簡(jiǎn)單而明確，We have the gray of the foreground, and we have the black of the background because it is so simple and precise.?這讓圖像變得易讀而清晰。That is exactly what makes this image so readable and so clear.?

? 09:33當(dāng)你遇到復(fù)雜場(chǎng)景，中間角色頭發(fā)夸張的黑色，?When you get to a more complicated scene like this, you'll notice that the main character in the very middle, his hair is a critical dark shade of black,?讓角色在泛白的背景中變得赫然醒目。to make him stand out against this whitish background.?角色的靴子也是黑色的，在白色地面走過，也是非常醒目。And these other characters here they have black shoes to be able to make them distinct from the white ground.?此外，幾乎所有角色都有黑色頭發(fā)，為了讓角色頭部分外明顯。Additionally, almost all of the characters have some form of black hair in order for them to stand out against. again.?白色背景也是通過霧蒙蒙來展示的。A little white background that is being lightened you through the usage of fog.?

? 10:08?另一點(diǎn)原因，你甚至知道我如何標(biāo)注重點(diǎn)。And here's another one. at this point. You probably know exactly what I'm going to say. And point out.?亮角色和亮前景和幾乎黑色背景形成對(duì)比，you have this light character and a light forground all against an incredibly dark background.?可以分成一二三分別標(biāo)注。Or you can break up the values into simply one and two. Or if you want it to be more precise, you could probably break it down into one. So the light is here, and?第二是中度灰色，then two, a medium grey,第三非常黑色的背景。?and then three a super dark black.?

? 10:38?接下來我們看《毀滅之路》現(xiàn)代彩色電影，Once you move to modern day color movies, the same principle stance, for example, in road to perdition, one of my favorite Tom hanks movies,也是Conrad Hall傳奇攝影師參與制片的，捕捉這些偉大的定格畫面。the legendary cinematographer Conrad hall, captures these great moments where again,讓角色異常醒目。the characters are incredibly distinct.?也是《Yojimbo大鏢客》用到的手法，And you'll see the exact same kind of techniques that Yojimbo used,?你可以看到黑色角色和亮色背景對(duì)比鮮明。where you've got this dark character against an incredibly light background. And again, a dark character against a light background.?在這案例中，Conrad Hall把黑白對(duì)比放在身后窗戶上。In this case, Conrad hall took a step further by purposely placing Tom hanks right here against this window.?亮窗戶和超級(jí)黑的肩部和外套形成對(duì)比。So that this super bright window gets the contrast with his super dark coat and shoulder.?讓觀眾瞬間注意到?Tom hanks?這角色。This immediately draws our eye right to Tom hanks character or?

? 11:30?這場(chǎng)景中，縱然前面角色是模糊的虛景，但是不妨礙我們分辨角色特征。this scene here. Even though this character in the front is completely blurry and fuzzy, we're able to tell exactly what the features of this character are,?因?yàn)榇┑陌仔渥?，黑色的馬甲，because he's wearing these very distinct white sleeves against a very distinct dark vest. And then a little face.?縱然攝像沒有聚焦在前景角色，但是角色應(yīng)該什么樣子呈現(xiàn)在腦海里。So that even though the camera is not focused on him, we can see exactly what he's supposed to be.?

? 11:53?這是午夜更復(fù)雜的場(chǎng)景，背景是夜間光線不夠充分，And in a more complicated scenes such as night time, where there aren't any good sources of light,?你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)影視用霧創(chuàng)建的標(biāo)志。you’ll see that the movie makers used the fog that is created.比如雨打在地面就是高光發(fā)生的原因。Did when rain hits the floor to really highlight what is happening.?雨夜車輪廓發(fā)亮也是這原因。So you can see the clear outline of the car because of that rain.甚至一個(gè)主角在雨夜帽邊緣可以是高亮。And even more so on the character here, you see that there's a slight rim light off his hat. It is so masterful, like, oh my god! Chef's kiss!?雨滴打打，邊緣被高亮，就從背景中凸顯出來。Just the light hitting off his hat to make his silhouette distinct from the background. It's absolute genius.?但是這并不是偶然的。And you're probably wondering, well, I bet that happens by accident. There’s no way that was intentional it was coincidence that might just hit him that way. But come on.?我們看看攝影師收入，He’s cinematographer. They get paid millions of dollars. Like there is no way that this is a coincidence. One of the most famous cinematographer is out there, Roger A. Deakins Wiki, His net worth is $84 million. They literally studied and calculated this stuff. Sure. Sometimes it might be a coincidence, but do you really think?你覺得好萊塢會(huì)花高價(jià)去買偶然嗎？hollywood is going to pay $84 million for just a coincidence? Absolutely not.?

? 13:09?同樣的規(guī)律也適用于卡通，這是數(shù)字的，不是真人拍攝。The same thing applies to things in animation where all the lights are now digital and they are not physical.?因此，需要更加精確微調(diào)。比如玩具總動(dòng)員這里，Therefore, they can be even more fine tuned. Check out toy story four right here, where this window, you'll see.你可以看到bo peep角色通過身后窗戶光源襯托角色，?It is strategically placed behind bo peep so that she was on a darker side is lit by the background of this window so that she is silhouettes essentially.?對(duì)面的woody也是通過窗戶光源打到側(cè)面臉上，凸顯出角色輪廓來。the opposite occurs with woody where she is being hit by a slight ring light so that you can see his silhouette really clearly as well.?

? 13:42?這樣就說清楚一開始講述學(xué)校老師展示的繪畫關(guān)鍵元素。In fact, you can even see this principle in the color key paintings by one of our very own schools and teachers. Nice to meet you. A lot of people think that what makes these images all work is the fancy lighting or the colors which. Oh absolutely. That's definitely true because they said to me is amazing and lighting and color.?

? 14:02?但是我愿意說一群人骨架實(shí)際上還是黑白對(duì)比架構(gòu)。But the bulk of it I would argue the bones is actually the black and white value structure,?因?yàn)樯婕暗筋伾粌H僅需要的專業(yè)畫師，because not only is an incredible painter when it comes to color,?而且通過輪廓光和背景形成對(duì)比。but also noticed that he's using these rim lights here to allow for these characters to be selected against the background,?光打在面龐，往下延伸到面頰。or even right here, the light hitting off with his face, down toward his chin.?背景輕微黑色讓角色輪廓高亮躍然紙上。And using this slightly darker little background piece right here to be able to highlight and really make him pop out.?類似于我們觀摩的Akira Kurosawa如何讓角色在《大鏢客Yojimbo》中通過角色黑靴子白地板對(duì)比讓角色突出?！锻婢呖倓?dòng)員》woody靴子陰影突出用同樣的手法。Similarly to the way that we saw Akira kurosawa pop his characters out in the movie Yojimbo or check out how his boots are a darker shade in order for woody to pop out there.?

? 14:49?當(dāng)調(diào)整到黑白灰閾值，會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)清晰可讀。And when you turn the piece of the black and white, see how clearly it reads.?甚至在黑白色，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一點(diǎn)房屋內(nèi)光線可以讓玩具總動(dòng)員中Buzz小角色變得赫然醒目。Even in black and white, you've got a little bit of room light off buzz light year so that this little toy character is really able to stand out.?和上面雨水打在帽邊緣高光原理類似。And you have this tiny little rain light on the hat of this character here, so that she can stand out.?因?yàn)槿N高光和背景不同的，所以我們讓挨著站的幾個(gè)角色都容易辨識(shí)出來。And by having all these different pieces of light and having it be different from the background, we were able to read this as different characters standing next to each other.?越是復(fù)雜場(chǎng)景越是凸顯設(shè)計(jì)的智慧。Even though this scene is quite complicated. That is part of the genius in this piece.我們找?guī)讉€(gè)反面教材，實(shí)際上允許發(fā)布影視中很難找到反面教材，因?yàn)槿绻愫诎谆议撝挡贿^關(guān)，就不能發(fā)布，所以我只能硬著頭皮找一個(gè)相對(duì)差一些的但是絕對(duì)過關(guān)的案例來對(duì)比分析。?Now let's take a look at a few others where I feel like the pictures aren't working. It's actually really difficult to find pictures that don't work, because to be quite honest, if you don't get this down, it's actually quite unlikely that. They would be hired. Typically, this is a skill that is considered to be the standard. So it was insanely difficult for me to actually find examples where there's a very poor black and white value structure. But I did do some digging and I'm not trying to point any fingers.

?15:58?拿出《奇怪的魔法》和電影《up》中黑白閾值做對(duì)比。But that being said, I would probably point to the movie strange magic. Here you can see these two characters talking.?你發(fā)現(xiàn)《奇怪魔法》中黑白灰閾值，兩個(gè)角色幾乎消失在背景中。But something about this piece is incredibly busy. If we turn this piece into black and white, if you squint your eyes, these two characters get completely lost.?舉例子說明，倆角色黑白閾值和背景陰影差別不大。For example, this character here is pretty much the exact same value in shade as the background. This character as well, where their pants basically are the exact same value as the background.?導(dǎo)致角色黑白閾值混入背景中，這是為了讓你加強(qiáng)理解用的。And so these characters just completely blend in. to really emphasize this to help you understand.

?16:31?再舉例子，這是中性的調(diào)色板，Let’s compare it to the movie up where it's pretty much the exact same thing. They use a similar color palette. Which is a more neutral color palette. It's about two characters standing next to each other.?但是《up》一幀中，看起來賞心悅目的，現(xiàn)在我們看看為什么。But in this piece, it's so much easier and so much more palatable. But let's really see why.?轉(zhuǎn)化到黑白色，If you turn this piece into black and white,?你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)角色躍然地板上。you’ll see that this character really pops out in the background.?角色輪廓被完全凸顯出來。She is being completely lit.?和黑色背景對(duì)比鮮明。And against a black background.?一兩個(gè)角色輪廓形成鮮明對(duì)比。We have this very clear silhouettes in one of these two characters, even the background is being silhouettes, where you have this big chunk of background. So it's like side here.你發(fā)現(xiàn)這背景色白色的，這是有意而為之的。And then you have this side of the background which is all white. This is all completely intentional. Now let's compare the two together.?

? 17:17?我們把兩個(gè)黑白色底圖放在一起。So we put them side by side and then turn it into black and white.?你眼睛不由自主的選擇黑白對(duì)比鮮明的圖，因?yàn)榍逦雀?，可讀性強(qiáng)，才涉及到便于理解。Your eyes should naturally follow the piece from up instinctively, because it has a stronger value contrast. And so we're able to read the image more clearly. And thus year I will just naturally go to the thing that is most understandable.?

?17:36?這是另外一個(gè)案例《奇怪的魔法》和《up》，你的眼睛會(huì)滑落在《up》，或者在《奇怪魔法》逗留片刻，最終目光停留在《up》Here is another example. Again, the left side is from strange magic. And the right side is from up. If you just look at these two pieces directly. your eye again, should naturally flow to the piece of up. Or at the very least, if your eyes don't naturally flow to the piece of up, then they should be able to understand the pieces of up more.?原因是如果你打開黑白底圖，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)問題集中出現(xiàn)在哪里。this is because if you're trying to piece in a black and white the problem of the values and strange magic is accentuated.?主角色幾乎消失在背景里，The main character here kind of just fades into the background.?你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)肩膀各個(gè)地方融入進(jìn)去，你發(fā)現(xiàn)角色甚至沒有完整輪廓線。If you look at their shoulder, you see that this value basically blends in with the value of the background or here and here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here. Basically, everywhere the character doesn't have anything to silhouettes.?和《up》里清晰可見的線條形成鮮明對(duì)比。Whereas in comparison in up, there's a very clearly line of distinction of where the character is supposed to be.?你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)角色頭發(fā)黑色對(duì)照背景白色的。You can see that this character's hair is black against white background.?你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)角色身后的山厚重的和亮色藍(lán)天形成鮮明對(duì)比，遠(yuǎn)山隱約可見。Therefore it's so obvious where sihouettes is or even the rocks in the background because of such a simple sky. The rocks which are darker also stand out very well.?因此，作品并不是越復(fù)雜也是好作品。需要易讀易懂。Therefore, a piece doesn't need to be super complicated to ever be considered good. What it needs to be most of all is understandable.?再重申一次，別誤會(huì)我，《奇怪的魔法》作品黑白底圖是過關(guān)的，只是單純就閾值技巧方面和高水平作品之間的對(duì)比。Also. Please don't get me wrong. The people who worked on strange magic are absolutely incredible. It was very difficult to find anything at all in movies that did not work very well value-wise.?為了更好的教學(xué)，我相信影視之間的對(duì)比，也是為了取長(zhǎng)補(bǔ)短推陳出新。But for the sake of trying to teach something, I do think that some movies have done it better than others. But know that movies are really hard to make.?但是你的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)要朝著好作品看齊，高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)要求自己。At the very least, you can still tell that there is a character here. But realistically, we really should be aiming towards this. Just let you know.?

?19:25?到現(xiàn)在，我自己的作品也是反復(fù)看灰白黑的閾值。Now whenever I'm painting, I always love to check back and forth to see how my painting looks in black and white. Essentially, that is what makes a painting powerful or not. Therefore, let's dive into this concept a little bit more. And see how we can make our black and white value stronger.
