It focuses on the texture and aerial roots of the banyan trees. I drew the banyan trees in plein air, then cut them into different parts, and filmed the animation on the multi-plane animation stand.
我以寫生的方式描繪榕樹的質感和飄逸的氣根,然後將其剪成不同的部份,最後放置在多層次攝影平台上拍攝動畫。

Behind the Scene -- Multi-plane animation:
Multi-plane animation works by layering multiple transparent sheets, each containing different elements of the scene, such as backgrounds, characters, and foregrounds, to create a sense of depth and motion when viewed together. This technique allows animators to manipulate each plane independently, providing the illusion of three-dimensional movement and depth in a two-dimensional space.
幕後 -- 多層次攝影平台:
多層次攝影平台是一種定格動畫手法。動畫師把動畫中的不同元件:角色、前景、中景和背景放置在各自的透明層板上,並獨立移動和拍攝。他們巧妙利用平面的部件,建立一種三維空間深度。
