Artistic Innovation in Chinese Animated Films:A Case Study of Chang An
Since 2015,Chinese animated films have witnessed continual progress and innovation,which leads to impressive artistic expression.Film art design stands as a special form of art created for film production,and it is important for bringing screenplays to life visually and spatially.This study uses Chang An as a case example to investigate how artistic innovation is applied in Chinese animated films from the theoretical perspective of contemporary Chinese film art design.The research findings indicate that this ani-mated film respects history and refers to historical facts,while boldly stepping beyond modern aesthetics.Specifically,it combines traditional cultural essence into film art design.With metaphors in regard to objects,scene,and colors,the film creates a symbolic representation of the real world.In addition,it features unique aesthetic traits like"synchronicity"and"carnivalization"so as to challenge standard design language and creative methods.Moreover,the traditional artistic expression styles used in the animation should match the themes.
