| As the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage,Dong Opera is a rare cultural treasure in my country’s national art resource bank,and has rich artistic and cultural research value.With the rise and expansion of the digital application field,it has become a new trend to promote the inheritance and dissemination of intangible cultural heritage through digital animation.As an artistic means and information carrier,digital animation can activate and display the intangible cultural heritage of Dong opera culture in a three-dimensional,diverse and efficient manner in a form that is deeply loved and accepted by the public.This research takes the famous Dong opera "Zhulang and Niangmei" as the research object,combines the theoretical knowledge of design semiotics,and tries to combine the cultural elements,Aesthetic characteristics and ethnic spirit are transformed and integrated into digital animation design,so as to realize the continuation and development of intangible cultural heritage culture,and enhance its influence and popularity.First of all,it summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of domestic and foreign scholars in the combination of intangible cultural heritage culture,traditional opera and digitization.In the research process,according to the research purpose,research ideas,guiding theories and application principles,combined with a variety of scientific methods to carry out subject research,to guide the completion of personal design practice,to summarize and infer the lack of theoretical knowledge with practice.Secondly,the related definition concepts and technical overview of intangible cultural heritage,digital application,semiotics and design semiotics are expounded.As for the research object of the Dong opera "Zhulang and Niangmei",the process of its birth and development is clarified,its spiritual core is summarized,and its inheritance dilemma is summarized.At the same time,from the perspective of opera art and design symbols,it discusses the correlation between Dong opera and digital applications,and on this basis,explores and summarizes innovative ideas and design principles for the application of digital animation in Dong opera.Finally,the innovative practice of digital animation of the Dong opera "Zhulang and Niangmei" is guided by the theory of design semiotics.By expounding the transformation path of the research object from opera symbols to animation design symbols,starting from the story outline,character modeling,natural landscape and humanistic architecture of the Dong opera "Zhulang and Niangmei",the artistic elements of opera and ethnic culture are extracted.elements,converted into animation design elements and incorporated into digital animation.The early setting of animation includes story script,character modeling,architectural scene and storyboard design.The mid-term production mainly outlines the drawing of the title animation,and the post-production is the background music configuration and editing and special effects synthesis.Finally,the animation short film and related derivatives are introduced.It reviewed and summarized the production results of the digital animation of "Zhulang and Niangmei" and the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. |
