  • DRAWING COSTUMES, PORTRAYING CHARACTERS Costume Sketches and Costume Concept Art in the Filmmaking Process
    Laura Malinen 2017 DRAWING COSTUMES, PORTRAYING CHARACTERS Costume sketches and costume concept art in the filmmaking process MA thesis Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture Department of Film, Television and Scenography Master’s Degree Programme in Design for Theatre, Film and Television Major in Costume Design 30 credits Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors Sofia Pantouvaki and Satu Kyösola for the invaluable help I got for this thesis. I would also like to thank Nick Keller, Anna Vilppunen and Merja Väisänen, for sharing their professional expertise with me. Author Laura Malinen Title of thesis Drawing Costumes, Portraying Characters – Costume sketches and costume concept art in the filmmaking process Department Department of Film, Television and Scenography Degree programme Master’s Degree Programme in Design for Theatre, Film and Television. Major in Costume Design Year 2017 Number of pages 85 Language English Abstract This thesis investigates the various types of drawing used in the process of costume design for film, focusing on costume sketches and costume concept art. The research question for this thesis is ‘how and why are costume sketches and costume concept art used when designing costumes for film?’ The terms ‘costume concept art’ and ‘costume sketch’ have largely been used interchangeably. My hypothesis is that even though costume sketch and costume concept art have similarities in the ways of usage and meaning, they are, in fact, two separate, albeit interlinked and complementary terms as well as two separate types of professional expertise. The focus of this thesis is on large-scale film productions, since they provide the most valuable information regarding costume sketches and costume concept art.

  • Concept Art Creation Methodologies 45 Pages of Appendices Visual Development of “Rock Boy” Commissioned By
    Julia Rässa CONCEPT ART CREATION METHODOLOGIES Visual Development of “Rock Boy” Bachelor’s thesis Degree programme in Game Design 2018 Author Degree Time Julia Rässa Bachelor of Culture April 2018 and Arts Title 37 pages Concept Art creation methodologies 45 pages of appendices Visual Development of “Rock Boy” Commissioned by South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences Supervisor Sarah-Jane Leavey, Lecturer Abstract Concept art is often mistakenly referred to as art that is created using the same principles as when creating 2D art assets or illustrations, despite concept art at its core being based in design. The objective of this thesis was to define what common design methods are used by modern game industry professionals to create concept art. Throughout the thesis, common methods of concept development were established, and then supported through their practical implementation in the production of concept art for the case project “Rock Boy”. The thesis content was based on the insight of interviewed concept artists. The answers were subject to parallel analysis and as a result the author identified the major concept art creation methods. The main issues discussed were the role of storytelling in the process, reference use, research, and photo bashing. The Thesis also discusses how a game project’s subject matter and art style reflects on the type of methods used when creating concept art. The final product was a concept art portfolio consisting of six distinct environment pieces, five character designs, as well sketches made during the development. Secondarily, this thesis provides two concept art creation tools; the Median Approach and the Outlying Approach.

  • Framework for Development of Schemata in Character Design For
    Copyright by Iuri Lioi 2009 ABSTRACT The activity of designing characters for computer animation demands a great deal of complex problem-solving and decision-making techniques. It requires combining aspects from the story, subjective ideas and abstract visual elements, such as lines, shapes, colors, in order to generate a character that can be understood and believable. There is a lack of comprehensive documentation and shared knowledge about the process in literature. This presents a setback for new designers seeking in-depth information on character design, since having a thorough understanding of this process is the first step in developing expertise in the field of character design. This practice-led research establishes a cohesive framework as well as a systematic approach to the process of designing characters for computer animation, aiding novice designers in their process of developing expertise. This research organizes the information about the process of character design into a model – referred to as the Character Design Process Model – based on problem-solving and form generation processes. It was tested and refined using a constructivist approach in the creation of the main character, from “The Fox and the Grapes” animated short film. The model was also used as a framework for analysis of three applied studies of projects developed at the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design. ii The organization of information about character design within a systematic approach presents the interrelationships to new designers in a way that furthers their understanding of concepts and procedures related to the character design process. The analysis of practical applications of this body of knowledge consolidates that understanding and represents a set of references that will inform and enrich future experiences of novice designers.

Members: The report researches the various fields of art and sound interaction. Based on this research, a Andrea Keiser prototype sound-interactive artwork is designed and developed. This early prototype is then used for experiments, so as to obtain the point-of-view of the Frederik Bærentsen users, for improving the prototype. The completed prototype is then tested in a final experiment in Martin Høyer Poulsen contrast to a similar, but motionless artwork. The results from the final experiment are then analyzed. The results show that; though variation of test Patrick Lehmann Hald subjects is somewhat narrow, results show a clear indication of the interactive artwork being more Niclas Bach Nielsen interesting than the motionless artwork.

  • Previsualization in Computer Animated Filmmaking THESIS
    Previsualization in Computer Animated Filmmaking THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nicole Lemon Graduate Program in Industrial, Interior and Visual Communication Design The Ohio State University 2012 Master's Examination Committee: Maria Palazzi, Advisor Alan Price Dan Shellenbarger Copyright by Nicole Lemon 2012 Abstract Previsualization (previs) is a pre-production process that uses 3D animation tools to generate preliminary versions of shot or sequences. This process is quickly gaining popularity in live action film, and is beginning to be used in animation production as well. This is because it fosters creativity by allowing for designers and artists to experiment more freely and intuitively with visual design choices, and insures efficiency in production and post-production. Previs is also able to provide a means to communicate and test plans visually in the pre-production stage which enhances clarity and understanding. The intention of this thesis is to make available information about previs that is, for the most part, unpublished or unknown by all but those already deeply involved in the process, and to explore and document the application of a previs process of my own in the production my first short film. To begin I will describe the previs process from several perspectives. Previs will be presented in historical context in order to provide insight into its development. Next I will present the results of an industry professionals survey conducted in late 2011 and early 2012 as a way of revealing an insider’s viewpoint on the use of previs in commercial computer animation production.
