Animation

There are 20 different
types of animation ranging from traditional animation used famously by the
early days of Disney in films such as The Lion King, Snow White, Sleeping
Beauty, Peter Pan and a large assortment of others. To the currently used 3D
animation that is used as the main tool for most animations released today. The
wonder of animation has always fascinated me to create a simple object then
through the use of animation being able to give the inanimate object a
personality to make a character feel alive and capture the hearts of many, how
animation makes an audience care about the characters in films, television and
games is amazing. My personal favourite
of the lot is traditional animation I used to spend hours watching Disney
movies and trying to replicate what I saw on screen, I had a go at producing my
own hand drawn animations during my time in early education but had to stop due
to time constraints and so for this project the area that I would like study is
3D animation.
For my chosen piece I
will create either a small cutscene or trailer showing parts of the story and
aim to make it compelling enough for people to want to know more about it. I
will look at different cutscenes from an assortment of games to decipher what
keeps the audience engaged in the scenes to see what makes us want to keep
watching the story of the game unfold. I will also look at the effects within
these scenes to see how there used to create specific atmospheres, I’ll look
into bipeds to see what different types seem to be used to create the bones for
the specified characters. Finally I will look at other animators work on
creating children and inanimate objects to see how they are modeled and
animated and the textures to help the specific object stand out.
Over the years I have created very short
stories and drawn many different characters with the intention of pursuing
animation as a career path, I have always wanted to bring characters to life to
capture the wonder of the imagination to take a simple character from a page
and from a thought and make people care about what happens to these characters
from the use of the animation to give them their own personalities, I used to
spend hours watching Disney movies and drawing from what I saw on screen the
characters that were developed were truly amazing, so from this I have decided
to create a cutscene for a game using a story I wrote from years past, I got
the main inspiration for my piece of work from the blue umbrella a Disney short
film.
Another film that I liked was the Paperman
short, I liked this short film because I thought it was clever the way that it
draws the audience in through the use of the paper to bring the 2 people
together. This is a great insight into the use of inanimate objects within
these short films and gives me a look at what I hope to achieve for my short
movie.
