Directed by Tim Miller and other directors, the animated short series "Love, Death & Robots" has officially announced that it has been renewed for a second season. The film was teamed up by Tim and David Finch, and the 18 short films of 5-15 minutes in each of the first seasons were provided by different creative teams around the world, and the topics were very adult, and the popularity was very high after the premiere.
Some netizens said that it is the free soil for the creation of art, and its sequel is also expected by many audiences. More netizens commented: It was announced so late. And Lu Yinrong, the director of the "Kung Fu Panda" series, will also serve as the director in the second season, responsible for all episodes. Its first season scored a high score of 9.1 on Douban, which is even more waiting to see.
The first season of "Love, Death and Robots" is a collection of 18 short films, each part is 5 to 15 minutes long, and the content of the short film is also very colorful, including science fiction, horror, fantasy and comedy, and also covers traditional 2D animation and 3dcgi short films, from multiple directions to meet the audience's favorite direction.
This cartoon can be said to subvert people's understanding of conventional animation, no longer stuck to a continuous storyline, but each short film is self-contained, not only different styles, but also the storyline is unrelated, so that the audience no longer have to worry about whether the plot has continuity.
And in terms of duration setting, there are also new challenges. Directly breaking the previous fixed law of how many minutes of animation per episode, and completely looking at the needs of the story of this episode, ranging from 5 minutes to 15 minutes, the audience no longer needs to worry about the tension of time. It is also a challenge to traditional animation.
The convergence of animation has given more and more teams the opportunity to showcase their work. Many American drama fans have visual fatigue for complex science fiction films, but the thinking impact of "Love, Death and Robots" has made these visually tired audiences shine. The multiple independent production teams chosen by the director are different according to their own aesthetics, regional differences, creative styles, and even the treatment of picture texture. This is also the reason why the first season, although the themes are different, there are science fiction, suspense and absurd genres, but it is loved by the audience. Life is full of surprises, and watching an animation can be surprised, it must be very unexpected.
For example, the young couple in "Ice Age", in the old refrigerator of the new apartment, see the epitome of human civilization from the Jurassic to the future era. The creative team gave the daily necessities refrigerator the ability to record images, and also gave people the space to imagine.
For example, in "When Yogurt Takes Over Everything", the yogurt we drink every day suddenly has its own consciousness one day, and has become the highest wisdom and authority in the world, which makes people think about the most frightening thinking holes, and it is also a point that attracts people to watch.
For example, in "Three Robots", those three strange and abnormal robots, after thousands of years of human extinction, will actually have various complaints. Traces of human history have left robots with intelligence and some emotions helpless.
This seemingly normal but brain-opening way of thinking, the impact on the audience is undoubtedly very huge. Accustomed to the conventional animation of the inherent model, when the new model is unfolded, there must be some people who are very supportive, and some people cannot avoid opposing it, but the second season has the joining of director Lu Yinrong, and there should be a bigger surprise. I hope that this new animation mode can bring more and more peculiar viewing experiences to the audience.
