A food artist based in southwestern China used cabbage to create a sensational stop-motion animation of a dancer.

A cool video filmed in the city of Kunming in Yunnan Province on April 15 shows a person carved out of a piece of Chinese cabbage dancing to some folk music.

The man named Zhao Xiaoze studied landscape design. He once saw the flipbook animation and it intrigued him so he learnt stop-motion by himself.

His production of a dancing cabbage person was inspired by vegetables swinging in the wind in his yard.

Zhao said only two pieces of cabbage were needed to make one stop-motion video.

He also said: "Our country has so many ethnic minorities and their music and dances are all very interesting. I wanted to use this to let more people know and understand the folk dance."

Zhao will also try to make stop-motion of martial arts and kung fu in the future.

近日，云南昆明，一位小伙通过定格动画让白菜跳舞而走红。视频中，用白菜制作的人物形象随着动感十足的音乐翩翩起舞，让人惊叹不已。
当事人赵小泽介绍，他是一名90后，本身是学园林设计专业的，有次看到“翻书动画”觉得很有意思，很好奇这个效果是怎么做出来的，便利用空闲时间自学了“定格动画”。而“让白菜跳起舞来”是一个很偶然的想法。“之前过年回家看见自家菜园子里有菜叶在风中摇摆，就像跳舞似的，就萌生了这个想法。”
赵先生透露，他通常制作一个这样十几秒的视频需要两三天的时间。制作之前会先想好配乐和舞蹈动作，前期要把每个动作分解出来，一帧一帧地摆，然后合成，后期再调整视频节奏，完成剪辑配乐。最困难的地方在于细节的处理，比如跳蒙古舞要抓住摇摆、抖肩这些经典动作的特点，要不断思考怎样让舞姿更和谐。小泽透露，视频里的“白菜小人”都是用白菜边缘一些不太新鲜的菜叶制作的，做一个视频用两片菜叶子就足够了。
视频里的前两个片段是藏族舞，第三个片段是蒙古舞，为什么要让白菜跳民族舞呢？赵先生说：“咱们国家这么多少数民族，他们的歌舞都很有意思，想通过这种有趣的方式让更多人知道并去了解民族舞蹈。”
小泽表示，以后他还会尝试制作传统武术、功夫等更多类型的内容。希望给大家带来快乐的同时，传播优秀的中华民族传统文化。
