Character evaluation

Qian Yunda did not relax his exploration of animation art form in his animation creation. In the paper-cut "golden conch", he makes full use of the film language to express the great freedom of time and space, which makes the emotional color of the story more intense. The use of recitation narration and lyric style keep the audience in a state of isolated appreciation. What Qian Yunda pursues in the film is nationalization. In addition to the national paper-cut style in the form of modeling, he also uses folk songs. He broke through the traditional Chinese window pattern modeling characteristics, integrated into the modeling and movement characteristics of folk shadow puppets, and showed that he did not stick to the nationality, and tried to innovate on the original basis (review of Journal of Zhongzhou University).
