And showing the product on a short advertisement for convincing a consumer to buy is very challenging in this modern era of television broadcasting & online-based marketplaces. Most of the cartoon advert are more simple, attractive, entertainment and communicative. A cartoon advertisement explain the food taste and varieties of flavor which boosts product sellingchances.My project aims at making a short chocolate brand product animation. That can be used for advertising purposes and attracting the attention of customers. The entire project was created using CGI (computer generated imagery) technology. This animated chocolate advertisement is very attractive to viewers specially the children.The company will be able to show the ability of CGI to create appealing product advertising in the future for people from different fields. iv ©Daffodil International University TABLE OF CONTENTS CONTENTS PAGE Approval i Board of examiners i Declaration ii Acknowledgement iii Abstract iv Table of contents v List of figures viii CHAPTER CHAPTER 1: Introduction 1-2 CHAPTER 2: Literature Review 3-5 CHAPTER 3: Project Workflow 6-37 3.1 Pre-production 6-12 3.1.1 Brainstorming 6 3.1.2 Packaging and branding 6-8 3.1.3 Storyboarding 9-12 v ©Daffodil International University 3.2 Production 12-35 3.2.1 Modeling 12-22 3.2.2 Texturing 22-28 3.2.3 Lighting 28-30 3.2.4 Rigging 30-31 3.2.5 Animation 32 3.2.6 Simulation 33 3.2.7 Rendering 34-35 3.3 post-Production 36-37 CHAPTER 4: Conclusion 38 REFERENCES 65 vi ©Daffodil International University LIST OF FIGURES FIGURES PAGE NO Figure 3.1.2.1 lovely cup logo design 7 Figure 3.1.2.2 Mumo logo design 7 Figure 3.1.2.3 Mumo logo design 8 Figure 3.1.2.2 Mumo logo design 8 Figure 3.1.3.1 Scene 1 & scene 2 storyboard 9 Figure 3.1.3.2 Scene 3 & scene 4 storyboard 10 Figure 3.1.3.3 Scene 5 & scene 6 storyboard 11 Figure 3.2.1.1 Polygon modeling 12 Figure 3.2.1.2 Curve modeling 13 Figure 3.2.1.3 Digital sculpting 13 Figure 3.2.1.4 circle spline modeling 14 Figure 3.2.1.5 Cup modeling by spline and loft 15 Figure 3.2.1.6 Chocolate box modeling 15 Figure 3.2.1.7 Love shaped chocolate modeling 16 Figure 3.2.1.8 Jems chocolate box modeling 16 Figure 3.2.1.9 Wafer chocolate box modeling 17 Figure 3.2.1.10 Bear character modeling 17 Figure 3.2.1.11 Bear character body parts 18 Figure 3.2.1.12 elephant character modeling 18 Figure 3.2.1.13 jems chocolate character modeling 19 Figure 3.2.1.14 mashroom house modeling 19 Figure 3.2.1.15 environment modeling 20 Figure 3.2.1.16 umbrella modeling 20 Figure 3.2.1.17 running track of jems character 21 Figure 3.2.1.18 low poly tree modeling 21 Figure 3.2.1.19 arrangement of all chocolate product model. 22 Figure 3.2.2.1 chips packet texturing 23 vii ©Daffodil International University Figure 3.2.2.2 lovely cup texturing 23 Figure 3.2.2.3 2d texture file. 24 Figure 3.2.2.4 uv mapping projection 24 Figure 3.2.2.5 chocolate box without texture 25 Figure 3.2.2.6 chocolate box after textureing 25 Figure 3.2.2.7 material editor 26 Figure 3.2.2.8 elephant model without texture 27 Figure 3.2.2.9 elephant model with texture 27 Figure 3.2.2.10 bear model with texture 28 Figure 3.2.3.1 hdri studio lighting 29 Figure 3.2.3.2 3point studio lighting 29 Figure 3.2.3.3 studio lighting setup 30 Figure 3.2.4.1 bendy limbs rig setup 30 Figure 3.2.4.2 rigged bear model 31 Figure 3.2.4.3 rigged elephant model 31 Figure 3.2.5.1 keyframe animation of character 32 Figure 3.2.5.2 running cycle of chocolate character 32 Figure 3.2.6.1 render view of splash simulation 33 Figure 3.2.6.2 chocolate simulation 33 Figure 3.2.7.1 physical render setting 34 Figure 3.2.7.2 using depth of field 35 Figure 3.2.7.3 render view of chocolate product 35 Figure 3.3.1 render view of chocolate product 36 Figure 3.3.2 using motion blur 37 Figure 3.3.3 render setting of final output 37 viii ©Daffodil International University CHAPTER 1 Introduction Cartoon 3d animation is now well-known among kids for days. Most of the commercials are simpler, more appealing, more entertaining and more communicative. A cartoon commercial describes the taste of food and flavor variations, which increases the chances of selling the product. My animated chocolate commercial would be particularly appealing to viewers, especially children. In producing good quality 3D animation for consumer ads, our country is still quite behind. Yet animated ads of good quality will attract children more than a video footage of live action. Animated ads produces results and is cost-effective. To advertise their products, services and ideas, many more companies are switching to animation. Animation costs are much lower and there is usually a huge savings in production costs and less time delays. The aim of animation is to create sequence drawings or images via various motion creation procedures. This produces an optical illusion by which we can easily see still pictures and drawings. The only tool which can make our dreams come to life is animation. It took our entertainment industry to a new level and with the aid of 3d linking real and digital. Creating 3d animation is a complicated process that consumes time. To make a realistic 3D animation each item must have a precise value. Animated ads will capture a brand's essence and convey precisely what you want your audience to feel about your product or service. In general, animated cartoon advertisement is fun to watch and produces a higher audience interaction than traditional advertising. In general, commercial animation consists of short videos that communicate clearly and quickly and convey information to be memorable in a creative way. The children we want to see are our target audience this project. The primary objective for this advisory is to communicate with the public.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • The Animation Industry: Technological Changes, Production Challenges, and Global Shifts
    THE ANIMATION INDUSTRY: TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES, PRODUCTION CHALLENGES, AND GLOBAL SHIFTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hyejin Yoon, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Edward J. Malecki, Adviser Professor Nancy Ettlinger Adviser Graduate Program in Geography Professor Darla K. Munroe ABSTRACT Animated films have grown in popularity as expanding markets (such as TV and video) and new technologies (notably computer graphics imagery) have broadened both the production and consumption of cartoons. As a consequence, more animated films are produced and watched in more places, as new “worlds of production” have emerged. The animation production system, specialized and distinct from film production, relies on different technologies and labor skills. Therefore, its globalization has taken place differently from live-action film production, although both are structured to a large degree by the global production networks (GPNs) of the media conglomerates. This research examines the structure and evolution of the animation industry at the global scale. In order to investigate these, 4,242 animation studios from the Animation Industry Database are used. The spatial patterns of animation production can be summarized as, 1) dispersion of the animation industry, 2) concentration in world cities, such as Los Angeles and New York, 3) emergence of specialized animation cities, such as Annecy and Angoulême in France, and 4) significant concentrations of animation studios in some Asian countries, such as India, South Korea and the Philippines. In order to understand global production networks (GPNs), networks of studios in 20 cities are analyzed.

  • The 12 Basic Principles of Animation from the "Illusion of Life" by Frank Thomas & Ollie Johnston
    Adobe Flash Animation The 12 Basic Principles of Animation from the "Illusion Of Life" by Frank Thomas & Ollie Johnston 1. Squash and stretch When an object moves, its movement indicates the rigidity of the object. Many real world objects have little flexibility, such as furniture, however most organic objects have some level of flexibility in their shape. Also squash and stretch is useful in animating dialogue and doing facial expressions. It is used in all forms of character animation from a bouncing ball to the body weight of a person walking. 2. Anticipation An action occurs in three parts: the preparation for the action, the action itself, and the termination of the action. Anticipation is the preparation for the action. Anticipation is an effective tool for indicating what is about to happen. A dancer does not just leap off the floor. A backwards motion occurs before the forward action is executed. The backward motion is the anticipation. 3. Staging Staging is the presentation of an idea so that it is completely and unmistakably clear. A pose or action should clearly communicate to the audience the attitude, mood, reaction or idea of the character as it relates to the story and continuity of the story line. The effective use of long, medium, or close up shots, as well as camera angles also helps in telling the story. Do not confuse the audience with too many actions at once. Staging directs the audience's attention to the story or idea being told. Care must be taken in background design so it isn't obscuring the animation or competing with it due to excess detail behind the animation.

  • Animating Community: Reflexivity and Identity in Indian Animation Production Culture
    Animating Community: Reflexivity and Identity in Indian Animation Production Culture Timothy Graham Jones Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies Submitted September, 2014 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract: Timothy Jones, University of East Anglia, 2014 Supervisors: Rayna Denison and Keith Johnston Animating Community examines the cultural practices of animators in India, and particularly the role of practitioner testimony in conceiving and negotiating social structures underpinning the nascent Indian animation industry. Recognizing a tendency in practitioner accounts towards theorization of contested industrial discourses, this research takes as its object the reflexive practice of animators in trade texts and interviews. These reveal how local practitioners understand production culture as an emergent phenomenon, resulting from learned processes of negotiation and collective action. However, practitioner testimony also reflects dramatically different degrees of agency in cultural production and discourse. Focusing on the identity work of diverse creative professionals – corporate elites, freelancers, teachers, and students – reveals underlying tensions between global industrial constraints and local social capital. Based on discursive analysis of testimony, this thesis asks how Indian animation practitioners conceive of their creative activity and identity in relation to negotiating a culture of animation production, and how the shared discourses and modes of engagement that result both shape and are shaped by institutional structures.
