Research of speed lines

I think the speed of lines is really needed in the animation. First, it can save the time, that means it can save the money of making the film. Second, it can also create an interesting actions in the plot which you draw one picture to another picture.

The speed line just like its name, it can make the audience feel the character’s speed or something’s speed is really fast and quick. You can easily find it in the comic books. Sometimes it should care about the  perspective effects.

Sometimes, we do not need to draw speed lines on the pictures. We can draw the speed lines on the characters’ outline. That can also be the speed lines. I think this kind of speed lines more difficult to draw and it will influence the feeling of the character itself deeply. If you draw it badly, that will be the feeling of sunshine. If the action is not big but it is fast, you can use this way to show the fast speed of the character’s actions.

If you master this skill, you can have a big improvement in comic and animation. That can make the audience feel the actions changing even there is only one picture.

At the same time, speed lines can be used to show the big and powerful scenes. For example, the bomb, the bomb of magic, the bomb of war, the bomb of experiment. But the speed lines should be much more and be close to each other. So, in this situation, the speed lines be the part of the scenes, and make the bomb be more powerful and terrible.

The speed lines also can be used to be the way of camera moving. When the speed lines come out in some moment, that can make you feel the camera is moving, but maybe it is not changing. So the is really interesting way to show the camera’s moving. If i have chance, i want to try using speed lines to change my camera. That can make the audience’s eyes pay attention to what i want them to pay attention to.
