The costume designer Chen Minzheng and the team spent 9 months just drawing pictures for the characters. In the beginning, the positioning of the Shadow film was colored, but the director wanted to try a variety of human images. So, he drew some color-extracted character pictures with saturation ranging from 30% to 50%, and then discussed with the director. Finally, the director wanted to try colorless ones, and made a batch of black, white and gray patterns. The director finally It is proposed to add some Chinese style, which has the feeling of Chinese painting. Because the texture pixels of the black, white and gray patterns available on the Internet were too low, Chen Min had to do his own painting. They made hundreds of paintings, nearly a thousand paintings, used as some graphics of clothing texture and copywriting.
The costume styling in "Shadow" is designed based on Hanfu, which is soft and elegant. The collar type is the simplest cross-collar blouse in the Han Dynasty. It is a typical Hanfu style without any adaptation of the collar type and the injection of fashion elements. of. There are many scenes in the film that are in the wind and rain.

    A little disappointed, lower than expected. There is no need to say the visual effect, everyone has already said it and there is no need to repeat it. But in essence, the film is still a text-heavy film. So this film can only be called good visuals, not good images! The images seem to be just to express some concepts and show the traditional Chinese culture, but they do not go deep into the texture of the story. This story, after reading the introduction, I think it can have a deep expression of humanity, but unfortunately Director Zhang only made it into a "yin and yang" conceptual plot story, but he did not dig deeply into the human nature in the story through images. What's even worse is that Director Zhang still doesn't know how to leave blank, for fear that the audience will not understand, resulting in too many dialogues that are too real. Many things that can be expressed in images have to be said, many things that are clear at a glance, and many plot analysis have to be said. speak out. If such a conceptual story can be really simplified, even a little more clumsy, with less nonsense and less continuity of the plot, it must be more in line with the artistic conception of ink painting, which can not only enhance the multi-meaning of the text, but also leave it to the audience. More room for imagination, but unfortunately Director Zhang can't do it. I still think heroes are better.
