  • 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.

    Exploring Cultural Differences in Game Reception: JRPGs in Germany and Japan Stefan Brückner1, Yukiko Sato1, Shuichi Kurabayashi2 and Ikumi Waragai1 Graduate School of Media and Governance, Keio University1 5322 Endo, Fujisawa, Kanagawa 252-0882 Japan +81-466-49-3404 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Cygames Research2 16-17 Nanpeidai, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0036 Japan +81-3-6758-0562 [email protected] ABSTRACT In this paper we present the first results of an ongoing research project, focused on examining the European reception of Japanese video games, and comparing it with the reception in Japan. We hope to contribute towards a better understanding of how players’ perception and evaluation of a game are influenced by their cultural background. Applying a grounded theory approach, we conducted a qualitative content analysis of articles from German video game websites, user comments, written in response to these articles, as well as Japanese and German user reviews from the respective Amazon online stores and Steam. Focusing on the reception of three Japanese RPGs, our findings show that considerable differences exist in how various elements of the games are perceived. We also briefly discuss certain lexical differences in the way players write about games, indicating fundamental differences in how Japanese and German players talk (and think) about games.

  • L'animation Stylisée
    Universite Paris 8 Master Creation Numerique parcours : Arts et Technologies de l'Image Virtuelle L’animation stylisée Clea Gonay Memoire de Master 2 2019 - 2020 1 résumé Le cinema d’animation est un medium propice a* l’abstraction du reel, a* la simplification des formes et du mouvement. Gra0ce a* un language visuel et une esthetique qui lui sont propre, l’animation stylisee reussit a* conserver le sens tout en amplifiant les emotions du spectateur. Pourquoi et comment realise t-on un film en animation stylisee ? En se basant sur la litterature disponible, mes experiences et une serie d’interviews realisees aupre*s d’acteurs de l’industrie, ce memoire propose une approche philosophique, anthropologique et technique des principes et codes de l’animation stylisee. Il cherche a* mettre en lumie*re les raisons qui poussent un realisateur a* choisir ce medium et explore les possibilites offertes par les outils disponibles a* travers des exemple d’oeuvres 2D, 3D et hybrides. Enfin, pour illustrer mon propos, j’y presente mes mises en pratiques realisees lors de mon etude du sujet. abstract Animation is a perfect medium to abstract reality and to simplify forms and movements. Thanks to its own visual language and aesthetical values, stylised animation conveys meaning as well as amplifies the spectator’s emotions. Why and how are stylized animated movies made ? Using available literature, my own experiences and a series of interviews made with people involved with the industry, this thesis takes a philosophical, anthropological and technical approach to the principles and codes of stylized animation. It highlights the reasons why a director would choose this route and explores the possibilities of the available tools while presenting related 2D, 3D and hybrid works.
