Many animation come from comic and use the original comic as foot stage reference. This week I find some famous comic to learn their distinctive qualities perspective. All the pictures come from comic 《Naruto,《One Piece》and 《Bleach》
Composition:
The standard diagonal composition
Oblique diagonal composition, the use of a typical perspective diagonal composition, the principle of the benefits of this composition is comic perspective impact is extremely strong, character due to the in front of the lens, form a kind of similar to the 3 d visual effect, more used in the manufacture of a strong atmosphere
Triangle composition,The advantage of triangular composition is composed of momentum, defect is picture drab
Black character should not have so big, the role of the author in the perspective of the bear to deliberately make big body, form a kind of nabla composition, want to in this paper, the roles the strong pressure of the man in black.
This is a standard S composition, which also with the use of perspective principle, has a very strong momentum and aesthetic feeling.Sickle and the animals in the picture form a similar double S composition superposition effect, makes the abnormal gorgeous picture.
Shot:
upward view lens, often at the right time to show character of figures, such as the female leader in the sense, militantly proclaim.
Fish eye is what we usually call the wide-angle lens (pinhole camera, the looking glass on the door and auto rear view mirror), here are the results is door was supposed to be a straight line, into a curve at this time, this approach is reflected by the characters and scenes.
Bruce lee ,as a wise and martial arts talent, unique character in the movie, the following are films capture, explores the movie, does not represent the fight of Bruce lee in the real world match.Weapon fighting also not included
The prepare gestures
Bruce lee's fighting stance is different, most of the time he takes the right hand in the first position, he thought that on the front side of the coordination is more advantageous to fight.
Idiomatic moves
Bruce lee idiomatic forms a relatively few compared to other martial arts actor, commonly used only the following a few action: right boxing, Bruce lee's right fist heavy, impressive in the movie
Bruce lee was good at kick, although small, but very proficient
Right leg whip kick (equivalent to the fast kick of sanda), this is the most adept at self, Bruce lee seems sublime, perfection.
Mid kick strength is quite high, as much as sweep kicking in Thai-boxing
High hook kick,shows his good flexibility
Right leg side kick (a run-up action), it is one of the most powerful moves,enemy will often be kicked away in movie.
Left leg spin kick (also called pendulum kick), launched fierce attacks from the right, is also one of the most aesthetic feeling moves.
Fly kick, empty side kick, this is one of the most famous scene in the history of action movie.
Fly high kick, this lens is famous than last: kicking "Chinese and dogs may not be the brand of"
back elbow, Bruce lee sign action
Character style
Why Bruce lee's kung fu movies look real?
Mainly because the design action takes into account the many points of actual combat, interception, Bruce lee created jeet kune do, interception rivals
. Push opponent, the opponent off balance, this technique is simple, but useful skills.
- - the sense of distance, between combat stance to keep a safe distance, like really rally, who also don't want to be fast and then stretch out his hand to.
Offensive side efforts across the distance, trying to hit the opponent, and Bruce lee is trying to keep their distance to avoid being hit
At the same time in the guarantee will not be playing tuxhorn's attacking the following begins with lower leg of a series of attacks
False action, a diversion is Bruce lee's good at, use the fake attacks, it does not see more in other movies. Pretend to play against the lower firstThen rapid changes of direction, against the upper body
Because of Bruce lee action quickly, "the camera according to the normal speed, but the effect is very fuzzy, they had to dispatch speed slow, in an attempt to 'real'"!Compare video of Bruce lee and the rhythm of his rival, lee really fast.
Personal thought: Bruce lee view of fencing and rapid speed of step footwork, using extreme relax the muscle tension in a flash of explosive.
Bruce lee after the tournament and wong jack man realized his footwork and kicks the
limitations due to constrained by wing chun, determined to study a good footwork.Rapidly changing fencing gimmick, of course, has its matching footwork, fencing footwork is perhaps the most fast moving in and kill footwork, it aroused the concern of the Bruce lee andDannyIraq LuShan degree.
Refined later RouJin jeet kune do step in, you can see Bruce lee for a quick introduction of footwork is an eye to fast system.
Bruce lee attack of "heavy"
Read Bruce lee thought that after the <tao of jeet kune do> Bruce lee heavy legs power is comes from the mechanics of insight.Bruce lee is the most important scourge strike force, emphasizing the arm such as "whip".Bruce lee second importance to leverage and that side form with face to face with, straight line, the important leverage their strength in the arms.
And Bruce lee on foot push footwork understand perfectly: "when progress against your front foot before did not reach to target before, do not fall to the ground, otherwise, the body is not easy to go forward, before hitting action is ineffective.
Remember, use of hind feet, to hold disc, make more powerful punch.""Front foot before did not reach to target before, do not fall to the ground" should be at the core of things, view of
foreign excellent players shot_put power you will realize that Bruce lee these words correctly,
also like discussing Guo Yunshen half step collapse boxing footwork.But the" front foot before did not reach to target before, do not fall to the ground "<Tao of Jeet Kune Do>easy to become some misreading.
"Landing" foot before private thought: like step collapse fist boxing footwork, at the time of your front foot is ground power after foot ryoma step (avalanche boxing action) formation of the front foot, the first front foot into hind feet and into the center of gravity, is towing the back foot forward into the front foot, the drag from the boxing before hit the enemy to move forward to form the front foot, toe can point to or slightly but the foot can neither be born from the earth, nor leaping at this time.
Bruce lee said, "with the hands and feet are hand foot hair first, keep in mind, hand foot hair
first, always does not forget".View foreign expert with the domestic power is the shot put national video shot level watershed in the (boxing since the secret only prevue).
Bruce lee is don't think the body forward turned waist parallel to the strike force is not really a force.
Bruce lee to the power why has such a profound understanding, and now the fighters have vast amounts of information, huge amounts of martial arts martial arts video but only a few experts to it, the reason is that Bruce lee himself was the praise others said "some rare genius athletics".
Imagine, Haiquan Lee , Bruce lee's father, military comedian in Chinese operas, caul scarves, both flower surface performance, precise, of course, there is no lack of sports talents,
Bruce lee has this aspect of the natural potential genetic, Bruce lee is only 3 months old local cantonese films in San Francisco's golden gate "sideshow, before the age of 18 have a movie 21 units, the film is a physical performance action art, Bruce lee and fighting in the streets and won a cha-cha champion of Hong Kong, the coordination of reason what action different from ordinary people, of course, and Bruce lee thinks he is a martial artist first, followed by actors, to develop personal strength and simplified in jeet kune do, reach muscle of body and mind coordinated consistent, outstanding natural ability.
The unique of Bruce lee stance
Bruce lee's Jeet kune do attacking standing position is: right hand right foot before, seven-game weak feet left after his left foot, in contrast to the general boxing pose station type.Experts said that is useful, like a pre-emptive strike before the other hand punch frequency certainly cause a lot of power, higher before with a strong hand.
In fact Bruce lee from fencing enlightenment, also hard to avoid is not absorb its sword.Is very simple, only a single hand,
only with a habit of right hand!Bruce lee's early street fights also told him, of course, for the first time to blow not with firstly the Tai chi front failed driver style (of course, does not rule out false action and virtual recruit the front),
Use defense as first step is not in conformity with the Bruce lee's strong personality, as far as possible to make the first move, or even offensive in a row, not each other, even the cut and style.That is why these decided the Bruce lee use his right hand and foot as the strong side.
All Research from <Fight quest>(TV show)-Doug Anderson , Jimmy Smith
Analysis of a star is a superstar,have a measure, is that he died many years later, if there are a lot of people believe that he didn't die. From this perspective, Elvis Presley is a superstar, MJ is a superstar. Bruce lee, of course, is also a superstar. Bruce lee another die form, it is not only did he live in the hearts of fans and martial arts practitioners, and he lived in countless filmmakers salute to him.In and imitation of Bruce lee, Bruce lee never die. Uma Thurman
Some of these imitation is very obvious, such as "kill bill" in uma Thurman yellow Bruce lee clothing, a lot of people know is the classical modelling respect "deadly game".But there are some honor, people see is not so much, such as "Star Wars: episode I: the phantom menace, skywalker racing childhood, know this a tribute" Ben hur ", but sky walker golden master Qui-gon told him, "don't think, use your intuition", but few people know this is Bruce lee's gold, also appears in one-shot (TV and film), the segment on Bruce lee taught young wei tung followed Bruce lee also spoke of a zen case-solving: "if you too slow, you can only see the fingers, and feel the brilliance of the moon."
Bruce lee fans have a lot of director.In addition to Quentin, Luc ~Besson is a.Besson except for jet li later made "kiss of the dragon", in the fifth element, before also let girlfriend Milla ~Jovovich learned a Bruce lee.
The< lion king> producer rob Rob Minkoff was also a fan of Bruce lee, so at the end of the <lion king>, baboons wise hands of board of wood, with Bruce lee type of Jeet Kune do wars coyotes, and imitate the cries of Bruce lee.Bruce lee himself was a wise man and man, and baboons are often quiet meditation think image is very close.
John Woo evaluated Bruce Lee like this, "Bruce Lee was the unprecedented film star in the history of Hong Kong. He represented a monument before death and a legend after death."
The "Chinese male hero" image shaped by Bruce Lee, not only inherited the Chinese traditional civilization, but at the same time injected part of the modern American spirit into the Chinese image shaped by him.
Although in the film Bruce Lee had special skills, he never took the initiative to fight. In <Chinese Mountain Big Brother>, before "Zheng Chaoan"(portrayed by Bruce Lee) left home, his mother warned him thousands of times that could not use force easily, and gave him a jade pendant to remind him restraint and tolerance. Every time before Bruce Lee acted, it would try to elaborate that the evil forces bullied the hero and his companions and relatives in the film, and then he would break out when it beyond endurance. The plot model of “oppression--- tolerance-unbearable patience" in Bruce Lee's film was repeated many times, which was a very "Chinese" way of narration."Fight" and "no fight"— the Chinese civilization paradox: on the one hand it does not advocate violence; on the other hand, it implies the meaning of fighting in the composition of Chinese character "Wu"-- fighting for justice, peace and dignity by violence. Bruce Lee’s martial arts mode that "the last straw was forced to sell", is not provocative actively, or show the force simply, but the way that uses the violence for justice and fairness, and inherits the Chinese civilization’s imagination of "martial arts" to "fighters".
we can see it's true evolutionary development in his movie.
Bruce Lee stance tips:
1 Strong side : always put yout hand which prepare to hit in front of you.
2 Feet distance:The distance between your feet should be slightly wider than the distance between the shoulders, the illusion of a straight line if we will excel themselves and attack targets in a straight line, it will connect from your toes to the back foot before the arch, toes and the front of this 30 degrees straight.
3 Straight line architecture
4 Small amplitude knees : This point is faster for any kind attack or defense.
Bruce Lee‘s movies like his martial art has 3 main points. 1 Stabilize, his body is stable like a rock when defensive back . 2 Speedy,his foot move and waist center are flexible changing to find Enemy’s failing.After one attack, his body especially his arm and hand will back to stabilize very soon. 3 Powerful.This point is not just the basis on strong body or weapon. We can find Bruce Lee 's arm preparing move is shot and small, but his attack is still heavy. Because his force point is from his back foot to the attack hand. When he doing the closing punch , his back foot will raise.
(closing punch)

Street fight
Feilong is a character from video game《streetfight》,he is the most appropriate for Bruce lee character i find.His sound,dress and action habit all come from Bruce lee movie art. We can compare his Unique skill with Bruce Lee‘s move which showed in Japan. Basically it is copy from it.
Furlong's body muscle are almost similar one in those animation and games. His back muscles and shoulders have resemblance with Bruce Lee;s real body.
tekken
These two video is game combat from <Tekken>(video game),the actions in game are not 100% accord Bruce lee‘s martial art but more fit his movie art action.But this character's body proportion can not catch Bruce lee,Bruce lee should have more heavy back and should muscle and longer arms.
