Behind-the-scenes production of koi fish jumping on Longmen

"Carp Leaping at the Dragon Gate" is the first animated work shot by Ms. Duan after the short film "Long Live the Great Leap Forward" was produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio during the 1958 "Great Leap Forward". He Yumen, the director at that time, said: "This play is all underwater, and there are many underwater shots." She drew it herself with flat glass, combined with various glues to design animation photography experiments and create new photography effects. For example, after finding out the position of carp's underwater activity and background activity, according to different positions, you can draw a little ripple on it in the place where the water movement is more intense without affecting carp's movement. After continuous exploration, we finally achieved the desired animation rendering effect.
