Montage In Landscape Animation

This thesis, basing on the Badaling function division of the Beijing Forest Health Project, explores applications of the montage technique in landscape animations through exhibiting a landscape animation of management measures to keep the forest healthy.Firstly landscape animation and the montage technique are analyzed from the aspects of as meanings and industrial applications. It is concluded that the montage techniques are not only applicable to but also of great importance to landscape animations, which lays the theoretical foundation for the subject researched in this thesis.In the light of the creation features of landscape animations, the effects of the montage technique on both landscape animation design and fabrication are examined separately. According to actual productions, it is summarized that various montage techniques play an important role in space shaping, time-and-space deduction and atmosphere rendering. By the use of the Vue software, the utility principles of the montage technique embedded in explorations of landscape animation software are inferred. Finally, this thesis proposes a set of displaying thoughts to provide basis and reference for forthcoming exhibitions of landscape animations of forest health projects.
