make an animated short that felt like Hedgehog in the Fog. I didn’t want to copy Yuri Norstein’s film, so we went with a new story.
It runs for 6.5 minutes. All 9363 frames are drawn by JavaScript code written by Opus. No video or image generation models, just canvas.
It follows a little mouse in a red scarf. Her grandfather, an old mole, is out fishing when fog rolls over the lake. She goes looking for him with a walnut-shell lantern and a sleeping firefly inside. They have a secret knock to help them find each other: short, short, long. It means "I’m here".
Norstein used paper cutouts on layers of glass, filmed frame by frame. I wanted some of that paper texture to come through in code. So the scenes use different styles: torn-paper collage, chalk on black paper, tissue paper underwater. There’s even sand on a light table and a pop-up book.
Opus wrote the music too. It found Steinway piano samples in my Logic library and used Python to compose the score around the rhythm of that knock.
制作一部感觉像《迷雾中的小刺猬》的动画短片。我不想复制尤里·诺尔施泰因(Yuri Norstein)的电影,所以我们选择了一个新的故事。
片长为 6.5 分钟。全部 9363 帧均由 Opus 编写的 JavaScript 代码绘制而成。没有使用任何视频或图像生成模型,仅依靠 Canvas。
故事跟随一只戴着红围巾的小老鼠。她的爷爷,一只老鼹鼠,正在湖上钓鱼时,大雾笼罩了湖面。她提着一盏核桃壳灯笼去寻找他,灯笼里还有一只睡着的萤火虫。他们有一个秘密的敲门暗号来帮助彼此找到对方:短、短、长。这意味着“我在这里”。
诺尔施泰因使用了玻璃层上的剪纸,逐帧拍摄。我希望通过代码也能体现出那种纸张质感。因此,场景采用了不同的风格:撕纸拼贴、黑纸上的粉笔、水中的薄页纸。甚至还有灯箱上的沙画和立体书效果。
Opus 也编写了音乐。它在我的 Logic 库中找到了斯坦威钢琴采样,并使用 Python 围绕那个敲门声的节奏谱写了配乐。
