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. ========================================= The One Studio, affiliated to The One Music, is operated by …

The style, of course. The classical chinese cartoons are made in a different technique, while the some modern Chinese animation was influenced by Jap anime tradition.

What qualifies something as “Japanesey”? If you mean by the depiction of the characters, I don’t think that would be a problem since Chinese and Japanese look almost alike.

I like a lot of older Chinese animations, but many of the recent ones have a very generic style–too much like anime.

Some of the scenes are not bad, but the music is too Western (and sappy/sentimental) and the animation too Japanese in style.
