How to understand
and control loop of rhythm in
short animal animation
Nowadays, action design plays a
significant role in the whole of animation. Of course, the developments of story, the character and scene
design or emotional expression are also the important factors in animation.
In the Disney animation “Tangled”, the action of
the horse is really vivid- the audience has empathy the horse because of its
actions and facial expression. Inspired by this animation,
I decided to make a short animation about an animal in my project.
Although
the action is a complicated area in animation, it also includes some different
elements, such as the rhythm. But the actions of animals are different from the
actions of people, especially the loop of rhythm, like jumping, running. If the
rhythm can’t be controlled well, the animal would look strange through the
whole story.
In
order to make sure the animated animal moves in a natural way, we need to
analyze the difference between the actions of animal and the actions of people.
My
research questions for this project are:
· How can I understand the rhythm of the
action?
· How can I control the loop of a repeated
action (like running)?
· How can I use the colour contrast better
to show the animal standing out from background?
· How can I combine rhythm, loop and
colour to produce an overall natural effect?
Therefore, I must have the rhythm respect to
do a deeper research in animation. Through analyzing the characteristics and
functions of rhythm and color expression in some outstanding animations, I hope
to be able to answer my research questions in the future.
