This paper attempts to start from such elements as the concepts and characteristics of surrealism, as well as the contents, forms and ideological connotation of the independent animation, and combine the surrealist artistic concept with the independent animation; moreover, it, on the basis of the fusion of both, discusses the decomposed border between the real world and the spiritual activities in the animation performance.

  • 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.

    GLAS MISSION GLAS Animation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2014. Our core mission is to cultivate and promote the art and science of animation. We provide a unique platform for independent animation, champion diverse and underrepresented voices, and emphasize exceptional directors and artists that push visual, conceptual, and narrative boundaries within the cinematic artform. We are a community-driven organization that not only exhibits animated films, but creates a context and language for a shared understanding and appreciation of animation in the United States. To accomplish this we have launched two programs within our organization: the GLAS Animation Festival and the GLAS Animation Grant. The GLAS Animation Festival creates a unique culture and community for artists, filmmakers, and film enthusiasts in the US, and more specifically the Bay Area, to critically engage with animation as an artform. The GLAS Animation Grant program allows for the artists in this community to create work and express their visions across the world. We feel that in order for us to fulfill our mission it is important not only to provide a platform for groundbreaking independent animation, but also to help artists working in the United States create it. The two programs are designed to compliment each other directly; the artists and films we bring to the festival inspires the community while the grant supports the creation of new pieces of work from within that community that will then be exhibited internationally. Independent animation is an important part of the art and filmmaking community that has been, in the United States, greatly overlooked.

    Animation Studies – Vol.6, 2011 Hannes Rall Tradigital Mythmaking New Asian Design Ideas for Animation Introduction “Tradigital Mythmaking” might seem to be an unusual venture at first - a German animator and animation scholar working with young Asian artists to create new concepts for animation that are based on Asian mythologies and artistic traditions. An excursion into my own artistic and research background will establish the project in a wider context and explain its motivation. My own past and ongoing work has largely been defined by the search for a very personal and genuinely German style of animation. I came to Singapore in 2005 to teach animation at the new School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University. The multi-cultural society of Singapore offers a beautiful kaleidoscope of the rich traditions of the regional arts - of course, prominently Chinese art, but also Indian, Malay, Indonesian and Philippine art-styles. I found that this wonderful diversity was not yet reflected in animation. My local students seemed to look primarily elsewhere for inspiration: they were mainly influenced by manga and anime and also tended to copy the design style of the Hollywood feature animation as established by Pixar, Dreamworks and Blue Sky Studios. My initial impressions and findings were supported by scholarly research in the field. According to Engel (2009), “Very often, there is a reliance on derivative concepts in character design and storytelling. The Japanese anime-style and the American school of caricatured realism are used as templates to ensure commercial success. While the commercial prospects of such an approach are questionable, it obviously prevents full artistic success.

  • On Using Machinima As “Found” in Animation Production
    On Using Machinima as “Found” in Animation Production Jifeng Huang Abstract Machinima is a relatively new animation production technique that has become popular among independent animators. It is also used by installation artists to create installation artefacts in a digital space. As a form of remix and fandom culture, machinima can be appropriated for the production of readymade and found arts. However, its exact contribution to this art form has not been clearly defined, as the knowledge generated within the machinima community is usually fragmented, incomplete and poorly documented. This article examines machinima production practices and installation art with the aim of determining how machinima components can be considered as “found art” within an animation. The outcome will be of interest to both animators and installation artists who want to use machinima in their works. It also provides a lens for further study of machinima and digital installations that use videogames. Keywords: Found works, installation art, machinima 1. Machinima as an Animation Production Practice Machinima is “animated filmmaking within a real-time virtual 3D environment… [It is] a mixture of several creative platforms – filmmaking, animation and 3D game technology” (Marino 2002: 1). Berkeley defines machinima in a more circumspect manner: “machinima is where 3D computer animation gameplay is recorded in real time as video footage and then used to produce traditional video narratives” (2006: 66). Machinima is the convergence of videogame, cinema and animation (Marino 2002; Nitsche, Riedl & Davis 2011; Burke 2013), which absorbs the elements of all three in game production, minimizing the gap between cinema and animation. Machinima was initially a form of fan fiction based on popular culture works, especially videogames.
