Chinese Animation 'Jinsha' ②

Jinsha of 2006 the 1st animation themed by Jinsha, is the 1st aboriginal animated work penetrated with Chengdu culture. Jinsha, representative of Chengdu, is promoted towards the youth in a more fashionable way—through TV and Internet.

The One Studio cooperated with Sinodoor Cartoon Company on Jinsha, being responsible for composing background music of the animation. It tells a miserable love story between Chi and Bi through war and revenge. This animation is legacy of ancient Shu with traditional Chinese culture. After a close study of the play, we chose modern orchestration, and mixed sounds to create its OST. During manufacturing process, we employed Irish flute, Indian instruments, and even human's voice besides orchestration and piano. Although Chinese traditional instruments were hardly applied (only minutes of two-stringed bowed instrument), the background music is a perfect embodiment of the theme.

The animation adds up to 26 minutes without human dubbings，23 of which is accompanied with background music. Two primary melodies, standing for War and Love, tremendously impress the audience from the beginning to the end with varieties and differences. Moreover, the whole project was done within only 23 days. The finished audio effect and video pictures are quite complementary to each other. In this sense, Jinsha is one of the most successful projects we've ever done.

Combines the worst aspects of american TV animation (bland background, low level of art detail) with the worst of japanese anime (stiff characters, cliched character designs).

I swearm this looks like a college Flash animation project

Chengdu was a beautiful city, I stayed there for 3 weeks and attended some classes.

This is a nice way to connect with people, good character design.

the style is terrible... Manhua artwork is awesome though. They need to use better art directors.

@simpsons12323 There's good and bad animation in every industrialized nation. Even looking to the right at Chinese Chess Master or Storm Riders Clash of the Evils you can see that.
