＂Watch Out Behind You!＂ An Animated Short Film Using Hand-drawn Illustration Techniques
摘要
This paper describes a method for integrating hand-drawn graphic illustrations into multimedia computer animation. The approach combines old-fashioned 2D illustration methods which use hand drawn illustrations and traditional storyboarding techniques with modern animation and video software. First, a literature review traces the historical roots of illustration as a form of media. The intention is to highlight similarities and differences in the historical development of illustrations in Western and Eastern media. Modern day graphic media is almost entirely computer based, so the next section examines a case study and considers each stage of the animated movie making process in detail. A short animated movie made by college students and titled ＂Watch Out Behind You!＂ provides the basis of the case study. Examples of special 2D and 3D techniques are offered to demonstrate how these techniques can enhance realism and provide a sense of action in the movie. The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of the various skills required of modern animators, particularly with regard to old-fashioned 2D techniques of illustration. We hope this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of the animated movie making process.
