Abstract  Puppet animation is an important branch in the field of animation. Its historical developing process is even longer than traditional hand-painted animation. With its unique shooting method and artistic charm, puppet animation is loved and enjoyed by many artists and audiences. Nevertheless the design and production cycle of puppet animation is long and complicated, with heavy workload and high economic risk. A five-minute puppet animation film usually takes up to several years to complete in the traditional manual production way. This article takes ‘The Wind of The Cypress Hill' directed by the famous Danish animation director Christophe Peladan and ‘The Dragon Fire Arm' directed by the German director Grigori Zurkan as examples to propose a formal linguistic expression with storyline(storyline(i)),?i1,2,,n? and limited set of scenario chain grammar. With this method,one can decompose the story elements of puppet animation film, analyze the implied meaning of stop-motion animation movies through different narrative structures according to the assembly logic of lens pictures in narrative space. This article explains the standardized design process from the perspective of story calculation, which provides new ideas for modeling theories of puppet animation films and assist intelligent computing. This can improve the design and production efficiency of puppet animation films, and provide a new model for multi-professional cross-border collaboration . It provides a possibility for ordinary puppet animation enthusiasts to participate in creation.

基于故事情景链语法的偶动画短片分析与建模

偶动画是动画领域一个重要的分支,与传统手绘动画同步出现,甚至更早。偶动画作品以其独特的拍摄方法和艺术魅力,为众多艺术家和观众所喜爱。偶动画影片设计周期长、工作量大、生产过程复杂、经济风险高,用传统手工工艺制作完成一部5 min的定格动画影片,通常需要数年。本文以丹麦知名动画导演克里多夫·皮拉丹的《柏树山上的风》及德国格里高利·祖坎导演的《龙焰火枪》为例,提出以故事情节(storyline(i)),?i1,2,,n?与情景链(scenario?chain)语法有限集的形式语言表达式分解偶动画电影的故事元素,通过叙事空间(narrative?space)中镜头画面的组接逻辑,形成不同叙事结构,以分析定格动画电影的故事寓意(implied?meaning),从故事计算的角度将其转化为标准化设计流程,为构建偶动画电影故事建模理论以及辅助智能计算提供思路,方法提高了偶动画电影的设计与制作效率,为多学科协同创作提供了新模式,使普通偶动画爱好者也能参与创作。
