Among them, the more formal "Animation" derived from the Latin root of the word anima, meaning soul; verb animate is to give life, the idea was to make the meaning of something alive. Therefore, animation can be explained by the creators of the arrangements, so that the original non-living things, such as access to life activities in general. Earlier, the animation is called art films in China; now known as the international animation.

Classification of the animation is not as obvious. From the production technologies and means of view, to hand-drawn animation can be divided into the traditional animation-based and computer-based computer animation. According to the manifestation of the action to distinguish, animation can be divided into near-natural movement of the "perfect movie" (animated television) and simplified, exaggerated the "limited animation" (slide animation). If the visual point of view from space can be divided into flat animation (such as "Tigers return home") and three-dimensional animation (such as "Final Fantasy"). From the playback point of view, but also can be divided into sequential animation (continuous motion) and interactive animation (repeated action). From the number of frames per second place in terms of, as well as full-motion (frames per second 24, the Disney animation) and semi-animated (less than 24, third-rate animation) of the points, the animation company in China tend to use a half to save money TV series to do animation.

Animation History
In 1826, Joseph Plateau invented the wheel moving image mirror, this is a crack in the edge of a cycle of paintings on the picture cards. See people holding such cards in the card closer to the mirror rotating at the same time to watch through the cracks. Took the audience around the circumference of the card to see a series of pictures into a motion picture. In 1828, the French insurance Royce Gate first to discover the persistence of vision. He invented the pictures _set_. It is a rope or a wooden pole and then through the disc between the two sides. A side plate painted a bird, the other side drew a blank cage. When the disc is rotated, the birds in a cage there. This proves that a series of images when the eyes see, it keeps a first image. In 1831, the French Joseph Antoine Plateau in order to draw good pictures on a machine in accordance with the circular Phenakistoscope disc, the disc can be driven by the machine rotation. This machine also has a viewing window, to watch the activities of picture effect. Driven by the machine, the disc rotation speed. The picture on the disc along with the disk rotation. From the observation window at the past, the picture seems to move together to form a moving picture, which is the prototype of the original animation. 1906, American J. Steward create a concept close to the modern animated films, film called "Funny Face humor image" (Humorous Phaseofa Funny Face). After pondering his repeated and refined, and continuously modify the drawings, and finally to complete this close to the animation clips. In 1908, the French Emile Cohl's first animated film with the negative, the so-called negative, is the opposite color image with the actual film, like today's ordinary film negatives. Animation using negative, the concept of the film carrier to resolve the issue for the future laid the foundation for the development of animation. In 1909, Americans Winsor Mccay performance with a million images an animation story, this is by far the world's first recognized decent animation clips. Since then, the level of animation creation and production of mature, people have started making a conscious performance of a variety of animated content.

Animation
Step Animation Animation is a very tedious and heavy and the work of the division of labor is very detailed. Usually divided into pre-production, production, post-production. Also includes pre-production planning, work _set_ting, fund-raising, etc.; productions include the sub-mirror, the original painting, animation, color, background painting, photography, voice recording, etc.; post-production, including synthesis, editing, preview and so on. Today, animation, computer animation produced by adding the change is simple, so there are a lot of people use the Internet to do some short FLASH animation. For different people, animation, creative process and methods may differ, but the basic rule is the same. Traditional animation production process can be divided into the overall planning, design, specific creative and production shooting four phases, each there are a number of steps: 1, the overall design 1) script. The first step in any video production are writing scripts, but the live-action animated feature film scripts and plays are very different. General dialogue in the film, the actor's performance is very important, and in the animated film should be avoided as much as possible the complex dialogue. Here is the most important action with the visual performance of the screen, the best animation is achieved through the antics, of which there is no dialogue, but by the creative vision inspired people's imagination. 3) The film table. This is a film director, made the preparation of the progress throughout the planning table to guide the animators a unified and coordinated collective work of all parties. 2, design stage 1) design. Design work is based on the story board to determine the background, foreground and props in the form and shape to complete the scene environment and background in the design and production. Also, individuals or other actors on the design, and draw out a few different angles for each modeling a standard picture for other animation officers. 2) sound. In the animation, because actions must match with the music, the sound recordings have the animation before. Recording has been completed, the editorial staff but also to record the sound accurately decomposed into a picture of each location, ie a few seconds (or pieces of screen) began to speak, speak for how long and so on. Finally, should all sound process (ie, track) decomposition to the location of each picture in the corresponding article list and sound for animation officers. 3, the specific creation stage 1) the original paintings. Original paintings drawn by the animators some of the key frame animation. Is usually a designer is only responsible for a fixed figure or other roles. 2) The middle illustration production. Two important illustration is the middle position or opinion of the picture frame diagram, in general is between two of the original painting a picture. Assistant animator making a middle of painting, the rest of the art people and then draw the character motion interpolation connection painting. In the original painting additional interpolation between the successive action painting, action to comply with the specified time, so that it can behave close to the natural action. 4, recording the production stage This stage is an important part of animation, any details on the performance of the screen will be produced in this can be said to determine the quality of the key steps in the animation (the other is the content of the design, ie the script). Here were introduced two-dimensional animation and three-dimensional animation at this stage for specific division or steps. Two-dimensional animation Supervising animator Amendment to the original painting, animation of the finished product, to see whether the person's face character _set_, action is smooth and so on. When necessary, must be able to re-paint, and therefore, the original artist and senior animator to do the job. Specify color Termed the work of the specified colors, various names, sometimes called color _set_tings, English is a Color _Set_ting, Color Styling, Color Designer, Color Coordinator, Color Key and so it is called. In addition to specifying "clothes to red to black pants," such a thing, it is more important is to specify the required color painted celluloid shadow, the level of color pigment number is XXX. Shi-on In the Japanese original is completed, finalization of the meaning of the Chinese is the color, English as Painting, Finishing. According to paint each block tag number, the opposite of celluloid film for painting work. Audio Authority Responsible for the arrangements into the music, sound effects of the preparation, voice recording, mixing, engineering supervision and so on. Producer Producers, mainly for planning production schedules, arrange the production of the daily progress of each day, looking for production team / production company, foreign investors who seek the same time, executive producer and co-operation must be to ensure that the planning of each component can on time and correctly the combination together. GK model "GK" is the full text of Garage Kit, intended to "garage component" because the West used the garage as a working room, while the GK model is in such a place was born. GK models are only some of the first players create their own works, styling detail is the degree varies, usually ONLY ONE, only this one world. Produced material (raw material) is not necessarily, clay, plaster, wood, metal can be used to do, so little home-made or produced their own model can be called GK. For some special products, after a very pleasant, and will have it as a commodity to sell the idea. Sell a sale, and suddenly one day there are two guys, they also took a fancy to a work, some people began to copy the GK model brains, the way with turn-mode, when the plaster and the like may be used as a template material to to copy, but the durability of gypsum is not easy and may be reproduced beyond recognition after a one or two friends. Now is the use of silica gel (SILICONE) used as a template material turning model, not only has excellent flexibility, durability, also in the cast is much more than, but still has a number of restrictions on reproduction. As long as not based on injection molding and can be mass-produced plastic models are called GK, generally have solid resin, hollow soft, White Metal (low melting point, soft pewter) the number of species, subjects are much more comic books or movies figure. GK on display in the HGA to solid resin (the first was actually the source of industrial waste), the main characters in the animation (such as HB, Bastet (thistle), THEO). Supervision Supervision is written in Japanese, English is the Director, the Chinese director. Japanese animation style of the director is to determine the whole work atmosphere, the key to control the pace of the story, the atmosphere turns more. Even if the same character _set_, the same style and production group, the director will be different because there are different styles. Role _set_ Responsible for the design of the character modeling debut role, clothes style is called character _set_, its paint job is not only to make the follow-up of people who know the painting looked like, but also have to tell them the role facial features, eyes, facial expressions and so on, but also designed by a number of different angles with a role in the face, and unlike most cartoons, the line closed bangs. Responsible for the debut of robots, vehicles, weapons design is the mechanical _set_tings, in addition to draw the shape of machinery outside the detailed structure may occur, for sport, open office, etc. must be indicated. Draft design in addition to other specified, are generally not on the clean lines of the shadow draft. SINARIO The English scenario, Chinese is the meaning of the script. Plot of the story written in plain text, including the scene, location, background sound effects, character dialogue, action figures and so on. Storyboard English is Continuty Script, Chinese is called the storyboard. This step is the actual job will be something on paper into images showing the first step in the future, drawing storyboard for the script in accordance with the instructions, in the brain and then converted into pictures painted on paper. The purpose of drawing storyboard animation is to use decomposed into a continuous action to a Cut (sub-mirror) unit, beside the camera work on the way to the screen, dialogue, special effects and so on. Cut each of the most important time elapsed, the number of sheets, also written in the storyboard will be the most right. Layout Layout work is relatively rare in the nature of the work of composition close to the Chinese, and only works in some Movie may use, for example, multi-layered background design, so each layer background move at different speeds, will be able to show the distance a realistic sense of realism. Layout of the painting must realize that in mind the existence of the camera, the view from the camera to see the scene where the plants and trees, and then draw down the detail of these images. Will this work was to make up for not drawing the director of the General Assembly drawn storyboard will clutter the screen briefly presented carefully, as the future of the original painting, animation, background, and so on the basis of the specified color. Well keep in custody the works, such as Mobile Police Movie, Patlabor Movie 2, Ghost in the Shell, etc., are examples of the use of a large number of Layout, the feature is "painting with 2D, 3D performance can be accurately visual effects" . Performance Japanese "performance" a post in Japan in the unique title animation. In short, he is his assistant director, who, in the TV series and the OVA version, MOVIE version of the role is not quite the same. Three-dimensional animation 1, storyboards (Storyboard) With a good story idea, you can draw into the story version of the animation. This may reflect the basic character expressions, gestures, scene location and so forth. A bit like a simplified version of the comic. After all the work with this as the basis, if there is any consideration of changes done here is minimal. 2 _set_s (_Set_ Dressing) This step is up to the scene to the sound, it does not need lighting, special effects of the modification. But this is the background of the next steps based; and this step need to build a lot of the models (such as buildings, plants, etc.), these models are often complex, by the tens of thousands of polygons, in order to make them look real, natural, animators have spent so much energy to do this. 3, the layout (Layout) This step is in accordance with the production version of the story three-dimensional scene Layout, translated into Chinese is probably the layout, planning can be. This is the first step in two-dimensional into three-dimensional, there can be more accurately reflect the layout of the scene with the position relationship between tasks. Scene does not need lighting, material, special effects in great detail things that allows the director to go to see the exact position of the lens, length, switching, and the role of basic positions and other information to achieve their goals. 4, the layout of the animation (Blocking Animation) This step requires the animator _set_s and Layout in accordance with the lens designed to produce Blocking Animation, which began to enter the real animation phase. The key action is to move (Key Pose) _set_ up, relatively detailed here have been able to reflect the role of body movements, facial demeanor and other information. Only after the director approved the next step. 5, animation (Animation) Following the adoption of the previous step, the animator can Blocking Animation to produce animation for further details. Add squash and stretch, follow, overlapping, secondary action, etc. (eg, the mouth speaks.) At this point the animator has completed the action. This is the core of the film, special effects lighting, and so are all the other ancillary things more out of color animation. 6, analog, color (Simulation & _Set_ Shading) This step is the production dynamics related to some things, such as hair, clothes and other fabrics. Through the textures, characters and background have a color, it looks more detailed, authentic and natural. After this process, the color can change in a different light in the (such as glass can be reflected around the scene.) 7, special effects (Effects) This step special effects to create fire, smoke, water and other effects. Although these things are ingredients, but without them the effect of animation Cars will be a lot less. 8, lighting (Lighting) No matter how beautiful the scene is not only semi-distribution of light. By placing a virtual light source to simulate the nature of light, produced according to the steps in front of the scene and the material editor and reflectivity data _set_, after the light to the scene marked, and the nature of the landscape is almost no different from the (of course, this was After rendering to see.) 9, rendering (Rendering) This is a three-dimensional animated video produced by the last step, rendering complex data and computer output, coupled with post-production (adding audio, etc.), is a screening of the film can be used, because the effect of steps are required before been rendered can be shown (the production process is not limited by the hardware real-time display of high-quality images.) There are many ways to render, but are based on three basic rendering algorithm: scan line (Scan-liner), ray tracing (Ray-trace), radiometric (Radiosity) ("Cars" using the ray tracing technology to look at the scene it more realistic, but also greatly increased the rendering time).

About Japanese Animation
Today, the animation talents, especially the animation of higher education will continue to develop a new generation of animation artists will appear in their midst. Chinese animation career started very early, far earlier than Japan, but 70 years later, Japanese animation boom, beyond China, into the situation. Following the development of Sino-Japanese animation in accordance with the period for comparison, the main line in accordance with the period of China's animation division. The development of animation in accordance with the historical period in China are divided as follows: Early exploration period - from 20 years China has begun to create their own animations to founding of new China in 1949 Booming period - beginning from the founding to 1965 During the Cultural Revolution - from 1966 to 1977 Slow development period - from 1978 to 1998 Attempts to explore phase - from 1999 to date The development of Japanese animation division in accordance with the original period: Embryonic period before the war - started by the Japanese animation 1917 to 1945, Japan was defeated Explore the post-war period - from 1974 to the defeat of Japan Subjects to determine on - since 1974, "Space Battleship" staged to 1982 Breakthrough of painting techniques - since 1982, "Macross" staged to 1987 Line differentiation - since 1987 (also called mature) History of Chinese Animation 1, before the founding of China - Early exploration of Early development of China's animation business, 20 years of animation pioneer million Chinese Brothers (million Ka Comprehensive (Wan Lai Ming), Wan Ka Ki (vancomycin laevis), Wan Ka Results (million Chaochen) and Wan Ka-kun (million Huan Di )) began to study animation, the first person of Chinese-made paintings co-star of the "row studio" is their production in 1935, China's first sound movie, "Camel offer dance" come out. 1941 by the American animated "Snow White" impact, produced China's first large-scale animation, "Princess Iron Fan", the history of cinema in the world, which is following the United States, "Snow White", "Window on China" and the "puppet Adventure, "after the fourth large-scale animation, logo animation at the level of China close to the world's leading level. Pre-war period in Japan in the embryonic stage, animation production level is relatively low, and because the impact of militarism, making the fight scenes were made to a certain development. However, the introduction of this period a number of overseas Japanese animation, China's "Princess Iron Fan" is also the column, the god of manga Osamu Tezuka saw that, by the vibration. Chinese art films began in the early twenties, "Wan Brothers" filmed in Shanghai, China's first batch of cartoons, which have significant impact is a long film, "Princess Iron Fan." Since no one investment in discontinued after 1942. Early forties, money is also produced in Chongqing Jiajun other animated short film "Happy Farm", but not development. Fine Arts of New China in 1947 produced the film, Hing town in the northeast has resulted in the liberated areas of New China's first puppet film "King Dream" and the animated "Wengzhongzhuobie." People's Artist of children and Japanese animation expert Bo Fang Ming (who only Ren Yong) and other important contributions to this end. They are understaffed, poorly equipped and under the conditions to complete the work crew, valuable for the new development of Chinese art films kicked off. 2, the early days of China - thrive on the (founding to 1965) After the founding of China's animation company can be said to be a very rapid development, not only work more, but quality is also very much. From a 1950 movie, has been developed to the 60's to produce every year more than a dozen animated, which is particularly worth mentioning is made from 1961 to 1964 "Monkey King", it can be said that when the domestic animation culmination, from the characters, action, screen, sound, and so have reached the highest level in world at that time. 1949 specialized agencies produced cartoon - cartoon group was established in Changchun Film Studio in Northeast, cartoonist and painter Wei Jin special evening as the main leaders. Moved to Shanghai in 1950 and became part of Shanghai Film Studio. As the staff expanded, 1957 establishment of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, director of special Wei Ren, a dozen people from the construction of the development group to two hundred people. Wan Lai Ming, vancomycin toad, Wan Chaochen, Qian Jiajun, Yuzhe Guang, Zhang superior, thunderstorms, gold near, Ma Guoliang, including the bud and a number of famous artists, writers took part in this work. Since then, the art film in Shanghai as a base for rapid development and prosperity. After construction of the "ten years of chaos," the former (1957 ~ 1966) is the art film heyday, the flourishing of various forms of art films into full play the artistic features, national style is more mature and perfect, is still being sold for a number of Film history of Chinese art works best, gained high reputation at home and abroad. Premier Zhou Enlai pointed out: art film division in the Chinese film industry, is relatively good with a unique style department. 1958 added a new variety - paper cutting film, the first work, "The Pig eating watermelon" quick success. Because of its distinctive characteristics of folk art which has been well received, opened up the development of film art of paper cutting a new path. Ink cartoon created in 1960, the elegant Chinese ink paintings and animation films combine to form the most artistic style with Chinese characteristics, "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom" and "reed pipe" these films so great success. Them to the beautiful images and poetic mood, so that the aesthetic animation art into a higher realm, it is refreshing, is a pioneering undertaking in the history of animation, its achievements in domestic and international attention. Can be seen in this period China started to try different methods of animation, bold use of traditional Chinese art forms. In 1947, China produced the first puppet animated "The Emperor Dream"; 1958, take the first paper-cut animation "Pig eating watermelon"; in 1960, completed the first ink animation "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom"; 1960 , the first Origami Animation "smart duck." Adding a new animation, animation business in China has reached a peak. Films to introduce the achievements of Chinese art, organized in 1960, "Art Film Exhibition" in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities in the eight displayed a wide impact, in 1960, went to the Hong Kong Exhibition, greater reputation overseas. Meanwhile, the Japanese animation industry is also developing its exploration at the time of the post-war period. Japanese animation industry continued to explore the development. It should be noted that most, Osamu Tezuka began his animation career. In 1960, Osamu Tezuka creation of "insect production company," animation. Subsequently, in 1963, introduced the "Astro Boy", which is Japan's first _set_ of full-length TV movie; 1966, Japan launched the first _set_ of color TV animation "Great Forest." This can be the beginning of the Japanese animation industry, in fact, followed by Japanese animation began its overwhelming pace of progress. During this period, China is leading the development of animation in Japan, although Japan 1963 will have a "Astro Boy" such a long animation, but China has a large animation, "Monkey King", does not lose in Japan. And the application of traditional Chinese art to animation in the past, is completely unable to Japan than the. However, with the cost of traditional art of animation is the need for more time and effort, this may also be a long animation then why not make one of the reasons it; Another reason is that, when the popularity of TV in China has not, so the animation mainly in theaters, so this time no lengthy animated series. 3, the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966 to 1977) Speaking of Chinese history, an unavoidable problem is that the Cultural Revolution. Cultural Revolution, Chinese animation industry has been affected significantly. The six years from 1966 to 1971, there was no production of an animated film out. After a few years the situation seems to have a little better, but from 1972 to 1977, only 2 to 4 year animation released. This period, China's animation industry is not a good situation, China's animation business is almost stagnant in place for over a decade. In contrast the Japanese animation industry, Japan is now determined to explore themes of late with the start. In the animation business, led by Osamu Tezuka, the situation is excellent. During this period, Takada hoon, Miyazaki, Matsumoto zero and a number of animation talent who appeared in their efforts, the Japanese animation quality constantly. But also in the development process, the Japanese animation industry began to try to expand the animation used in the range of subjects, resulting in a situation now embracing Japanese animation. Can be said that this period is the history of Japanese animation industry, a very critical period, this period is the development of Japanese animation are now established an unshakable position. Comparison of Chinese and Japanese, this period is indeed deplorable, if not the Cultural Revolution in China, then, and now the animation industry will be a look like, that no one could say. But history is such, can not be changed. 4, China's reform and opening up - slow development period (1978 to 1998) Reform and opening up Chinese animation has finally taken the heavy pace, but the lag of the Cultural Revolution is not changed. Began to recover in 1977, the creative production. From the end of the "Cultural Revolution" to eight years in 1984, shot a total of more than one hundred films. In subject matter, art forms and production techniques, and achieved new results. Since the open policy, and expanding foreign exchanges, the Chinese art films and rising international influence. To celebrate the founding in 1979, produced for three years, "Conquers", is a wide-screen animated feature, this known as "colorful, style, elegant, imaginative" works, popular in foreign countries . It forms strong once again magnificent glow national style glory. Puppet film "A Story" (kind of gold) is also an excellent film, shape exaggeration, language, humor, and vividly depicts the Xinjiang Uygur's a legend, and later developed a multi-_set_ series. Animated film "Three Monks" is a brilliant work, length is short, pregnant with meaning, both inherited the traditional art form, but also absorbed the foreign modern performance practices, the development of a new national style attempt. Animated film "Snow Children" reflects a noble spirit; ink animation "deer bell" to express the feelings of love, these films have been well received. Paper-cut in this period piece rich in art form. "The impostor" expresses the artistic style of the Han Dynasty, the style quaint. "Monkey fishing on" the cutting soft and thick texture of film style have created a new form. Using this form, and ink-style paper-cut shot film "Two dogs strive for" a beautiful form, content, humor, action, vivid detail and enriched the artistic style of paper cutting sheet. "Fire Children," the decorative features of national art form and melt in a furnace, air Geqi Li novel. Creation was the focus on the development of series of art chip. Thirteen _set_s of paper-cut film "Gourd Brothers" (1986 ~ 1987 production), the performance of an absurd interesting folk stories. Episode of the cartoon "King of Adventure dirty" is a more imaginative long fairy tale. "Strange Mongolian horse" is based on a play adaptation of British writer Han Suying six-episode cartoon film, showing a wild homesickness, filled with international friendship. "Capture the magic Biography" is a puppet continuous film, the puppet stage approach combining art and film, to show the "Gods" of the story ... great scene ... Another example is the 1983 "Double Dutch legends", from 1984 to 1987, the "black sheriff", from 1989 to 1992, "Schook and beta", from 1990 to 1994 "Cube Building", etc., are very exciting animation. But this time the Chinese animation has a common disadvantage is that too naive of the. Hearts of Chinese people "to see what cartoon is a child" concept has not _set_ aside, cause these animations look even junior high school students, will find less suitable. 5, after the 50th anniversary of the founding of New China - Explore attempt period (from 1999-present) The introduction of foreign animation, China's animation industry has finally learned his own shortcomings, they begin to explore and try all kinds. In 1999, China produced a large animated "Lotus Lantern" is to try one of the methods and experience of foreign production, combined with traditional Chinese myths and legends; In 1999, China produced a large full-length movie, "Journey to the West" can be regarded as one attempt; 1999 produced 52 episodes long animation, "I am crazy song," 52 episodes long animation "pigeon island" and 100 _set_s a long animation, "Gods Legend", but also try the Chinese animation industry. The "I'm crazy for the song" has begun airing in 2001, modeled on the Japanese animation of their "basketball night" China's own animation production, although the work itself does not seem well received, but the form is very good try. The other two works do not have much information yet, do not know the specific circumstances. In 2005, China's first original three-dimensional animation, "Bies magic ring" in the national cinema, this is a completely computer-animated film produced CG technology, is the first style from content, production technology to the market fully and international standards of the three-dimensional animated film, produced by the Shenzhen Global Digital Corporation. Although the final box office is not ideal, but the film's cutting-edge image for Disney, Pixar and other animation company was surprised. "International Comic Art" magazine editor John Barrett (John Lent), said: "I have no doubt that China's animation technology has begun to compete with Hollywood or Europe." China the most animations 1. China's first animated film in the overseas award-winning science "of genetic engineering" (1985) 2. China's first animated series, "Gourd Brothers" (1987) 3.

China's first cartoon "row Studio" (1926) The plight of Chinese animation Although China's animation processing has developed rapidly over time, all the animation processing companies have also made significant economic benefits, but it is not a permanent solution, more and more sluggish in recent years, Chinese animation process, mainly due to the five areas Impact: First, the domestic disorderly competition Because there is no technical content problems, paint a nice and cheap animation more and more average cost of 5 dollars a movie, willing to take a lot of people of Binary and Ternary. In order to grab business, chaos quotes, vicious competition within the industry reduces the profits of the industry revenue. Second, personnel dying After 1995, early in processing, with a high-quality employees is no longer to do specific work, very hard because of the animation process, the number of sheets according to the progress payment and urgent requirements of almost every movie that people have dozens of hours of continuous work experience, the city could suffer fewer young people, many yearn for the industry to the company of college students spend a few days later, heavy work will soon be scared away. At this time the main animators in the field and the rural population began to tilt. Later, those caught up in the present lean condition of the industry. Production quality continued to decline, even crudely, destruction of the existing image of the industry. Third, the international competition Fourth, technological innovation Mainly the United States the rise of three-dimensional, computer software instead of a lot of human factors. This is all the industry trends: technology eventually to humans from the tedious repetition of industrial water production freed gradually to the core focus of creativity and technology R & D transfer. Fifth, a difficult transition Animation industry is facing a strong state policy support, as if the revival of animation in China tomorrow, however, when some investors have a strong financial excitedly took aim at the industry when they have found it difficult to find a complete animation production chain animation company, and then turned to the original animation is heavy obstacles. Processing power of the animation even with good technology, but do not help the original busy. And automotive, electronics such "three-capital" model is different is that the production process has never been fully animated for the Chinese markets. The audience need? Although the processing of animation to bring Europe and America, Japanese management model, it is difficult to say that these can be directly copied, first, because to the "Chinese bosses" to foreign owners of dry and dry, mostly not the same; second, because they let themselves " empty, "was certainly not an easy task. The real conditions in line with management and production style, like the need to explore in practice. Japanese animation history China, which halted two decades of animation is brilliant gold in Japan two decades of animation, the experienced subjects identified a breakthrough painting techniques, the line divided three periods. In these two decades, Japanese animation is really earth-shaking changes have taken place. Prior to 1982, is the subject matter determine the period of drawn animation tends to diversify, not only for children but for all people to do animation. After 1982, began to draw a breakthrough technology of Japanese animation in a variety of animation effects on the pursuit of a breakthrough, developed a very nice style. After 1987, entered a mature stage, the line differentiation, the flourishing world of Japanese animation, a variety of emerging animation to truly create a unique style of Japanese animation. During this period, Japanese animation talent emerging, each seeking their ideal animation, animation industry to the world a very large impact. Two decades, the Japanese boutique animation list goes on, there are a variety of topics about the animated series Jun Miyazaki; are about normal life, "Orange Road" (1986); a science fiction theme of the "Doraemon" (1979), "Galaxy Railway 999 "(1979); a funny" Ranma 1 & 2 "(1989); a shooting 20 years diminished the heat of the" Mobile Suit Gundam "(1979); detrimental mixed reputation of" Evangelion "( 1995); has caused hot fighter, "Saint Seiya" (1986), etc., etc., can be said that as long as they want, and Japanese animation have it included now. Moreover, the Japanese animation of the picture, audio, voice processing, etc., have seen significant development. Comparison, China's animation in these 20 years, although there are some development, but it is too slow. 20 years, although China began to produce some long animation, but from the production, theme and other aspects of Japanese animation can not be compared to much, if not catch up, it really did not stand a day. The early 90s, China imported a number of foreign cartoons, with special mention is the anime "Saint Seiya." "Saint Seiya" After playing in the country, caused a fighter heat, to the Chinese people see the outline of a little bit of Japanese animation. Since then, there in the world to introduce a variety of quality animation, China's animation industry began a reflection, which led directly to later try to explore.
