Erik Schneider Abstract This thesis is going to introduce machinima and its history and tech- niques. Due to the possibilities of real time 3D, I will propose to use the inter- active potential of machinima. Furthermore, the concepts of the terms story and game, as well as their differences, will be discussed. This will be concluded with the suggestion of a new way of combining stories with game-elements, in order to make use of the diversity in the field of combining stories and games. Based on this theoretical point of view, I will present three ideas for the use of the interactive potential of machinima: an interactive installation, digital theatre and live cinema. I will exemplarily develop the idea of an interactive installation to a more concrete description, a concept. This concept will use my idea of combining a story with game-like elements.

  • Motion Enriching Using Humanoide Captured Motions
    MASTER THESIS: MOTION ENRICHING USING HUMANOIDE CAPTURED MOTIONS STUDENT: SINAN MUTLU ADVISOR : A NTONIO SUSÌN SÀNCHEZ SEPTEMBER, 8TH 2010 COURSE: MASTER IN COMPUTING LSI DEPERTMANT POLYTECNIC UNIVERSITY OF CATALUNYA 1 Abstract Animated humanoid characters are a delight to watch. Nowadays they are extensively used in simulators. In military applications animated characters are used for training soldiers, in medical they are used for studying to detect the problems in the joints of a patient, moreover they can be used for instructing people for an event(such as weather forecasts or giving a lecture in virtual environment). In addition to these environments computer games and 3D animation movies are taking the benefit of animated characters to be more realistic. For all of these mediums motion capture data has a great impact because of its speed and robustness and the ability to capture various motions. Motion capture method can be reused to blend various motion styles. Furthermore we can generate more motions from a single motion data by processing each joint data individually if a motion is cyclic. If the motion is cyclic it is highly probable that each joint is defined by combinations of different signals. On the other hand, irrespective of method selected, creating animation by hand is a time consuming and costly process for people who are working in the art side. For these reasons we can use the databases which are open to everyone such as Computer Graphics Laboratory of Carnegie Mellon University. Creating a new motion from scratch by hand by using some spatial tools (such as 3DS Max, Maya, Natural Motion Endorphin or Blender) or by reusing motion captured data has some difficulties.

  • Animation: Types
    Animation: Animation is a dynamic medium in which images or objects are manipulated to appear as moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. Today most animations are made with computer generated (CGI). Commonly the effect of animation is achieved by a rapid succession of sequential images that minimally differ from each other. Apart from short films, feature films, animated gifs and other media dedicated to the display moving images, animation is also heavily used for video games, motion graphics and special effects. The history of animation started long before the development of cinematography. Humans have probably attempted to depict motion as far back as the Paleolithic period. Shadow play and the magic lantern offered popular shows with moving images as the result of manipulation by hand and/or some minor mechanics Computer animation has become popular since toy story (1995), the first feature-length animated film completely made using this technique. Types: Traditional animation (also called cel animation or hand-drawn animation) was the process used for most animated films of the 20th century. The individual frames of a traditionally animated film are photographs of drawings, first drawn on paper. To create the illusion of movement, each drawing differs slightly from the one before it. The animators' drawings are traced or photocopied onto transparent acetate sheets called cels which are filled in with paints in assigned colors or tones on the side opposite the line drawings. The completed character cels are photographed one-by-one against a painted background by rostrum camera onto motion picture film.

  • Cel Animation and Define the Words That
    Chapter 5-Animation Objective The students will be able to: define animation and describe how it can be used in multimedia. discuss the origins of cel animation and define the words that originate from this technique. define the capabilities of computer animation and the mathematical techniques that differ from traditional cel animation. discuss some of the general principles and factors that apply to the creation of computer animation for multimedia presentations. Overview Introduction to animation. Computer-generated animation. File formats used in animation. Making successful animations. Introduction to Animation Animation is defined as the act of making something come alive. It is concerned with the visual or aesthetic aspect of the project. Animation is an object moving across or into or out of the screen. Introduction to Animation Animation is possible because of a biological phenomenon known as persistence of vision and a psychological phenomenon called phi. In animation, a series of images are rapidly changed to create an illusion of movement. Usage of Animation Artistic purposes Storytelling Displaying data (scientific visualization) Instructional purposes 12 Basic Principles of Animation 1. Timing The basics are: more drawings between poses slow and smooth the action. Fewer drawings make the action faster and crisper. A variety of slow and fast timing within a scene adds texture and interest to the movement. 12 Basic Principles of Animation 2. Secondary Action This action adds to and enriches the main action and adds more dimension to the character animation, supplementing and/or re-enforcing the main action. 12 Basic Principles of Animation 3. Follow Through and Overlapping Action When the main body of the character stops, all other parts will continue to catch up to the main mass of the character, such as arms, long hair, clothing, coat tails or a dress, floppy ears or a long tail (these follow the path of action).

  • Die Kulturelle Aneignung Des Spielraums. Vom Virtuosen Spielen
    Alexander Knorr Die kulturelle Aneignung des Spielraums Vom virtuosen Spielen zum Modifizieren und zurück Ausgangspunkt Obgleich der digital divide immer noch verhindert, dass Computerspiele zu ge- nuin globalen Gütern werden, wie es etwa der Verbrennungsmotor, die Ka- laschnikow, Hollywoodikonen, Aspirin und Coca Cola längst sind, sprengt ihre sich nach wie vor beschleunigende Verbreitung deutlich geografische, natio- nale, soziale und kulturelle Schranken. In den durch die Internetinfrastruktur ermöglichten konzeptuellen Kommunikations- und Interaktionsräumen sind Spieler- und Spielkulturen wesentlich verortet, welche weiten Teilen des öf- fentlichen Diskurses fremd und unverständlich erscheinen, insofern sie über- haupt bekannt sind. Durch eine von ethnologischen Methoden und Konzepten getragene, lang andauernde und nachhaltige Annäherung ¯1 an transnational zusammengesetzte Spielergemeinschaften werden die kulturell informierten Handlungen ihrer Mitglieder sichtbar und verstehbar. Es erschließen sich so- ziale Welten geteilter Werte, Normen, Vorstellungen, Ideen, Ästhetiken und Praktiken – Kulturen eben, die wesentlich komplexer, reichhaltiger und viel- schichtiger sind, als der oberflächliche Zaungast es sich vorzustellen vermag. Der vorliegende Artikel konzentriert sich auf ein, im Umfeld prototypischer First-Person-Shooter – genau dem Genre, das im öffentlichen Diskurs beson- ders unter Beschuss steht – entstandenes Phänomen: Die äußerst performativ orientierte Kultur des trickjumping.

  • Jenna Ng (Ed.), Understanding Machinima
    Issue 04 – 2015 Critical Notes Book Review by VINCENZO IDONE CASSONE Jenna Ng (ed.), Università di Torino [email protected] Understanding Machinima. Essay on Filmmaking Virtual Worlds Understanding Machinima. Essays on Filmmaking in Virtual Worlds (Bloomsbury 2013, edited by Jenna Ng) is an intriguing incursion into the world of ma- chinima from a Media Studies point-of-view, trying to address the topic beyond game’s environment, in connection with the evolution of the contem- porary mediascape. Machinima is a recent technology/performance/art/tool etc1 (convention- ally born in 1996 with Quake demos)2 commonly defned as any kind of video artifact produced through real-time gaming graphic engines: in-game record- ings, sandbox modes, hacked version of game engines or game-like profession- al tools are all valid sources to create machinimas. It’s been a decade since it has been bought to the academic attention and to an increasing popularity on web broadcasting (mainly thanks to the web-serieS Red vs Blue, to South Park‘s episode Make Love, not Warcraf or to the political short The French Democracy by Alex Chan). The collection is built around twelve chapters, split into two parts (respec- tively Thinking and Using machinima), bringing together contributions from researchers, gamers, directors, artists, curators and machinima makers; every chapter goes along with digital endnotes, that can be seen from the dedicated webpage thanks to QR codes included in every chapter. This anthology aims to distinguish itself from recent academic researches, analysing mainly the nature of machinima in connection with the universe of cinema, gaming and animation in the eyes of a “convergent” mediascape (Jenkins 2006), regarding machinima as a native-digital medium involving 1.
