What exactly do artists in film and television animation companies do? urgent

In short, the artist is the chief designer of a film in art.

1939, an excellent film swept the film industry. This is Gone with the Wind, adapted from Margaret Mitchell's novel Gone with the Wind. This film has an unprecedented lineup, luxurious scenes and exquisite shooting. The famous producer Seznik is the director, screenwriter and editor of April 1, but the graphic designer Ryle Huirui of the film has always been unshakable and valued by Seznik. Thousands of artists' sketches carefully drawn by Hui Rui before shooting were unanimously recognized by several directors. In the end, the film won the Best Actress Award, Best Supporting Actress Award, Best Director Award, Best Screenplay Award, Best Color Cinematography Award, Best Editing Award, etc. at the 13 Academy Awards, and Ryle Huirui also got on the podium and won the Best Art Design Award. He brought the artistic design of this film up to international standards.

Also fortunate to be on the podium of the Academy Awards are artists Qin De Hayworth and Xing Robert Priestley of Love among Sakura Flowers, as well as artists of famous films such as Ship of Fools, The Godfather's Sequel, Going to the Wrong Heaven and Throwing the Wrong Baby. The art designer industry once gave birth to Kuleshov, a famous former Soviet director, and Hitchcock, a famous American director. There are also many film giants who have a special liking for film art, such as Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. ...

Film artists are also called artists and set designers, as well as art directors, art chief designers and production designers. Generally, it is held by people with professional standards in painting art. In the stage of desk work before shooting, it is necessary to preside over and complete scene design, character modeling design, display props design, lens screen design, and complete real scene construction; After the filming, they will be responsible for organizing and guiding technicians and workers in clothing, makeup, props, scenery, painting, stunt art and subtitles to realize the artistic conception of the film.

For example, there is a movie that shows a garden-like emerging city, which was destroyed by an earthquake and turned into ruins in a fire. Of course, artists can't really burn down a city. He must first build a market ruin with more than 200 meters of shopping malls, cinemas, hotels and post and telecommunications buildings in a certain place to show the horror of the city after the earthquake, and then use three-dimensional scenes, semi-three-dimensional scenes and painting scenes to increase the spatial level of the scenery, and an "earthquake scene" will appear on the screen.

But sometimes, out of the pursuit of film realism, the director will ask the artist to build a real scene. When Hollywood filmed The Fall of the Roman Empire, a square covering an area of 92,000 square meters was built in Spain two years in advance. The tallest building, the statue of Jupiter, was 79 meters high. Known as the most magnificent scenery in the world film history, it is the crystallization of artists' efforts and wisdom for seven months and more than 1000 workers.

In order to film chaos, Kurosawa also built a real castle. The timber used to build the castle has strict weight requirements, all of which are shipped from America. When the city was burned, the castle was really burned, and the fire went straight into the sky for several months before it went out.

China's film A Dream of Red Mansions built the second mansion in Rongning with a certain scale, and Hong Kong's film Burning Yuanmingyuan also built "Dashui Law" and "Yuan Yingguan". These buildings are magnificent, seemingly confusing and entrusted with the artist's good intentions.

Artists should not only have the skills of landscaping, but also have the ability to borrow and change scenery. As we all know, Beijing Film Studio has a "West Fourth Street", which was built by director Ling Zifeng when filming Camel Xiangzi, including archways, streets and hutongs. Li Hanxiang needs to set up a "Caishikou execution ground" for the filming of "Listening to Politics from the Curtain", so artists use "Xisiyi Street". They changed all the signs and advertisements, and added sidewalks and observation decks. The streetscape of the Republic of China became the scene of Tongzhi in the early years of Qing Dynasty. Later, Bertolucci filmed The Last Emperor in China, and built a series of Qing-style buildings in Beiying Factory. The TV series "Joking about Qianlong" was shot in Beijing Film Factory, and it was used for other purposes. These are all artists' specialties.

In terms of scenery, all the above scenes belong to three-dimensional "architectural" scenery, which has been widely used since the 1920s and 1930s with the improvement of cameras, films and lighting methods. Until now, artists have been confined to designing scenery on a plane. In those days, May Li Ai hung a set of paintings on the wall of the garden and used them to photograph her thoughts.

Director He Qun used to be an artist in the Yellow Land. His "Art Design Concept" makes us read very kindly:

"For Cui Qiao, the old man, Han Han, Gu Qing's makeup, we should carefully observe and find that the actors themselves have something close to the role ... draw less faces as far as possible, and make more fuss about hairstyles.

"The dilapidated earthen kiln, the red couplets with ink watermarks at the bottom of the bowl, the earthen oil lamps on the kang table emit faint light, the fire in the stove, the steam of boiling water in the pot, the pots and pans in the kiln ... We must be strict with these props and be meticulous."

Perhaps, the artist's contribution to a film is condensed in every detail that cannot be ignored!
