Environmental Entropy Project – Thinking Big NAME:____________ Rotoscoping – Character Animation Project Rotoscoping - is an animation technique in which animators trace over live- action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films. Originally, recorded live-action film images were projected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an animator. This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years. In the visual effects industry, the term rotoscoping refers to the technique of manually creating a matte for an element on a live- action plate so it A short rotoscope tribute to Pharrel William's 'Happy' Created in the Character Animation Basics course at may be composited over another Savannah College of Art and Design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJme7gztBmM background. Metaphor - is the concept of understanding one thing in terms of another. A metaphor is a figure of speech that constructs an analogy between two things or ideas; the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word. For example: "Her eyes were glistening jewels". Symbolism - Something that represents something else by association, resemblance or convention. Relating to or expressed by means of symbols or a symbol. The practice of representing things by means of symbols or of attributing symbolic meaning or significance to objects, events or relationships STEP ONE: RESEARCH and ANSWER the following Rotoscoping Research Questions. (Wikipedia: Rotoscoping is a good place to start) STEP TWO: CHOOSE one dance move which you will use as subject matter for your short digital rotoscope film. STEP THREE: STORYBOARD the imagery you will shoot digitally to represent the dance. CONSIDER: Metaphor and Symbolism when deciding what imagery you will shoot to represent your chosen dance. Total length of rotoscope film should not exceed - 1 minute in length. STEP FOUR: SHOOT your sequences and visuals which will represent your chosen dance based on your storyboard idea(s). STEP FIVE: IMPORT your footage to Adobe Photoshop or Flash -> IMPORT to Library. Then drag them on to the timeline and create a second layer to start rotoscoping the sequences. STEP SIX: ROTOSCOPE your shot sequences in Adobe Photoshop or Flash - use a variety of tools such as pencil, brush and paint bucket tools, feel free to experiment with colour, shapes and forms. STEP SEVEN: REFLECT: by completing the Artistic Statement explaining the techniques/symbolism/metaphors you used as well as answering the reflection questions: 1. What part of your finished work do you find most successful and why? 2. What part of your finished work do you find is unsuccessful and why? 3.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Top Questions About Character Animation
    Top Questions About Character Animation What are some of the exciting aspects of character animation, and how is it different than other computer animation forms? The phrase computer animation is often used as a catch-all for many computer generated effects including spinning logos, Flash programming on the Web or special effects in movies. These are not character animation. Character animation is the process of giving life to a character, whether it is a dog that can talk, a drawn person or an animated object. Character animation creates personality. How long does it take one person to create one minute of animation? This is difficult to pinpoint, but it can take one animator about 16 – 20 weeks of full-time work to produce 60 seconds of animation.1 At Pixar Animation Studios, due to their high level of quality control, animators have been known to work on two minutes of film for a year or more. How many animators typically work on an animated feature film? It depends on the studio and its needs, so anywhere from 20 – 80 animators could be working on an animated feature film. What is the biggest myth about character animation? A lot of people believe that the computer does all of the work for the animator, but the reality is that the animator is only using the computer as a tool to create detailed animation frame by frame. What are some of the most challenging aspects of character animation? Character animators work in fun, collaborative, exciting and detailed environments. They need to have a high level of patience while working with the tiny movements of a character frame by frame.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Zoetrope is considered as one of the important inventions in the early of moving image history. Nowadays, using 3D print technology, independent artists are able to create zoetrope that shows the motion effects of a sequence of real 3D Physical objects. There are many kinds of objects that can be printed and displayed in the zoetrope objects, including stylized characters. However, not all 3D models can be proceed using the 3D printer. Many conditions need to be fulfilled to proceed using the 3D print machine. There are many visual styles of a character design that can be printed as animated objects for zoetrope devices. This possibility motivates the author to investigate the correlation between character design visual style, 3D printing process effectivity, and animation appeal of 3D printed zoetrope.

  • Keyframe Or Motion Capture? Reflections on Education of Character Animation

Reflections on Education of Character Animation Tsai-Yun Mou 1* 1 National Pingtung University, TAIWAN Received 20 April 2018 ▪ Revised 12 August 2018 ▪ Accepted 13 September 2018 ABSTRACT In character animation education, the training process needs diverse domain knowledge to be covered in order to develop students with good animation ability. However, design of motion also requires digital ability, creativity and motion knowledge. Moreover, there are gaps between animation education and industry production which motion capture is widely applied. Here we try to incorporate motion capture into education and investigate whether motion capture is supportive in character animation, especially in creativity element. By comparing two kinds of motion design method, traditional keyframe and motion capture, we investigated students’ creativity in motion design. The results showed that in originality factor, keyframe method had slightly higher performance support for designing unusual motions. Nevertheless, motion capture had shown more support in creating valid actions in quantity which implied fluency factor of creativity was achieved. However, in flexibility factor, although motion capture created more emotions in amount, keyframe method actually offered higher proportion of sentiment design. Participants indicated that keyframe was helpful to design extreme poses. While motion capture provided intuitive design tool for exploring possibilities. Therefore, we propose to combine motion capture technology with keyframe method in character animation education to increase digital ability, stimulate creativity, and establish solid motion knowledge. Keywords: animation education, character animation, creativity, motion capture, virtual character INTRODUCTION The education of animation is a long-standing and multidisciplinary training.

DESIGNING AND ANIMATING A CHARACTER SPRITE WITH MODERN TECHNIQUES A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts Digital Production Arts by Wynton Redmond May 2016 Accepted by: Victor Zordan, Committee Chair Brian Malloy Kathleen Thum ABSTRACT High-quality 2D animation for video game production is both strenuous and time consuming. Traditionally, 2D game animation consisted of drawing each frame by hand and processing it into a bitmap for use in-game. As every frame was individually drawn, it was difficult to create enough drawings for smooth animation as well as keep form consistent between frames. Although, this technique usually resulted in a strong sense of 3D volume and realism when well executed. Current technology allows for faster 2D animation workflows using interpolation and bone systems as well as greater consistency, smoothness, and efficiency, but oftentimes the results lose the sense of depth and quality found in traditional animation.
