VIRTUAL PUPPETRY a Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of VIRTUAL PUPPETRY A 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 Matthew Lee Derksen, B .A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Master's Examination Committee: Approved By Dr. Midori Kitagawa, Advisor Dr. Terry Barrett Amy Youngs / Advisor Department of Art ABSTRACT Obsessive-compulsive disorders plague many of us in our every day lives. The purpose of this study is to successfully display the emotional and physical attachment to these behaviors through the use of three-dimensional character setups and straight ahead, non-linear and looped animation. The technique deals with the interactivity of a three­ dimensional character after it has been setup for animation and is related to the idea of puppetry. The goal of this project is to create a better understanding of obsessive­ compulsiveness for myself and to give the viewer an idea of the process, my struggle with various behaviors, and a new way of seeing animation. ii rI i' I I dedicate this to my family and friends. lll ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks to my parents, Larry and JoAnn Derksen, for having and supporting me through thick and thin. I also owe them for passing on their creative talents and minds which has allowed me to keep my head in the clouds but also my feet on the ground. I would like to thank Todd for showing and giving me the chance to do what I love to do. I thank Julie for being the strongest women that I know and for constantly being supportive in all of my efforts. I would also like to thank my advisor Midori Kitagawa, Maria Palazzi, Terry Barrett, and Amy Youngs for allowing me to roam free and supporting me in my creative and educational efforts. Thanks to Matt Lewis and Peter Gerstmann for teaching me what it truly means to optimize. Thanks to my friends Mandy Bauerle, Dan Elsen, Scott Swearingen, Kyoung Lee, Vita Berezina-Blackbum, Todd Delman, and Ryan English. iv VITA August 19, 1979 .........................................................Born - Celina, Ohio 2001 ......................................................................B.F.A.

It was the only day that my father had missed a day of work up to that point. At least that is what I have been told all of my life. I think that this is one of the reasons that I hate being late. I grew up in a very small town in the state of Ohio. I lived in the same house along with my mother and father, two older sisters, and a brother who loved to pick on me as much as he could. As I look back on it, I don't mind. The town I lived in had nothing for me to do for the most part. I mostly goofed off with my friends, doing the usual childish things, trying to stay out of trouble. I was pretty much a "moma's boy." I found out early that if I told my mother what I was doing and did not lie, I usually could stay out longer than the rest of my friends. I started to draw at an early age. In elementary school, which was K through six in my town, I often found myself loosing interest in what the teacher was talking about, so I would bury my head in my notebook and doodle. My doodles soon turned into full page compositions. My drawings would always become a human-like character that was more detailed in the face than anywhere else. I remember that I could take a bundle of scratch marks on the edge of my page and create a bulbous character out of them. For the most part, I didn't think about what I was drawing, I would just create. Most of my classmates 1 caught on to my secret distraction from class and soon after I started to receive requests for drawings. This was the first time that my artwork had a purpose. I became obsessed with my style, or trying to achieve one. I never wanted my images to look like the cartoons that I watched every Saturday, but those wonderful, half hour comedy bonanzas influenced my early works heavily. I take parts and pieces of what those artists where doing in their drawings and cannibalize them. My main motivation for creating some of my early works was to make other people laugh. I loved to provoke raw emotion. I remember a specific incident in elementary school. One day a young girl who we used to hang out with was being quite short with us. So I was commissioned to draw an image on notebook paper that displayed a caricature of evil with a caption that was not very respectful. Then I was asked to deliver our idiocy to her. I have never been slapped so hard. I have not had such a reaction from my work since; I was quite successful for an elementary artist. As I moved on to high school, I got my first job creating advertisement art for a local grocery store. It involved creating small cartoons on chalk boards every week, showcasing the fruit of the week or maybe the vegetable of the day. I worked at this store for the better part of my high school career. At the same time, I began to create caricatures of my high school teachers and students. They got so popular that other students would request an image of their teacher or a student and I was happy to supply them. At the time, I began to start using white paper, no longer note book scraps, and a black marker. The marker

Under the terms of this agree- ment, the Florida- based restaurant would now hold exclusivity over Disney’s array of animated characters, and working alongside US toy manufacturers could license collectible toys as part of its meal packages based on characters from the studio’s animated features Beauty and the Beast (Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, 1991), Aladdin (Ron Clements and John Musker, 1992), Th e Lion King (Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff , 1994), Pocahontas (Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg, 1995) and Th e Hunchback of Notre Dame (Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, 1996).1 Produced by Pixar Animation Studio as its fi rst computer- animated feature fi lm but distributed by Disney, Toy Story (John Lasseter, 1995) was likewise subject to this new commercial deal and made commensu- rate with Hollywood’s increasingly synergistic relationship with the fast food market.

    CLONES, BONES AND TWILIGHT ZONES: PROTECTING THE DIGITAL PERSONA OF THE QUICK, THE DEAD AND THE IMAGINARY By JosephJ. Beard' ABSTRACT This article explores a developing technology-the creation of digi- tal replicas of individuals, both living and dead, as well as the creation of totally imaginary humans. The article examines the various laws, includ- ing copyright, sui generis, right of publicity and trademark, that may be employed to prevent the creation, duplication and exploitation of digital replicas of individuals as well as to prevent unauthorized alteration of ex- isting images of a person. With respect to totally imaginary digital hu- mans, the article addresses the issue of whether such virtual humans should be treated like real humans or simply as highly sophisticated forms of animated cartoon characters.

  • 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.
