FLASH Animation And The Production Of TV Programs

With the rapid development of computer technology and computer graphics andsome related technologies, we have come into the digital age, and, the role thatcomputer animation technology plays in video production has become more and moreimportant. The application of Flash animation, which first emerges on internet, todifferent types of TV programs exhibit great research value. But at present, fewresearch has touched upon this topic at home. Current studies are only limited to theartistic designing of Flash animation, and systematic theories on how to apply thelanguage of televisions to the production of Flash animation works have not beenformed yet. And this thesis offers a relatively systematic account of integration of Flashanimation into the production of TV works and their aesthetic characteristics.This thesis mainly covers four parts:It begins with the part of Introduction. The reason and purpose for choosingsuch a research topic are first explained in this part. With the innovation of animationtechnology, means of creation become diverse, and forms and content of expressionalso become extensive. Under the circumstances, Flash animation, which comesoriginally from the network, flourishes and then emerges on television, so this newtype of art will add new elements of expression to the development of television artand should be studied and explored in time.Traditional hand-painted animation is the second part of this thesis. Based onthe simple exposition on the origin of animation, the author looks back on the longcourse of the entire animation development and summarizes the development indifferent times. And then, the author expounds that the development of each period isnot isolated and is gradually evolved in specific situations. Traditional hand-paintedanimation has ever played an important role in the whole development of animation,and its content and model characteristics have exerted great influence on Flashanimation. Traditional hand-painted animation has undergone a long history in ourcountry and demonstrated profound cultural color. In this part, taking classicalanimation works for example, the author analyzes the diversity characteristic oftraditional hand-painted animation in both the content and models, then discusses itsapplication to TV in the hope of finding the practical basis of the development andapplication of Flash animation.Flash animation is the title of the third part of this thesis. In this part, thebackground of the production of Flash animation in the age of mimic creation is firstanalyzed. And in response to the rapid development of Flash animation at home, theobjective basis of its boom is discussed from both technological and artistic angles.And by analyzing its characteristics, the author elaborates on the advantages ofcombining Flash animation with the medium of television. Flash animation is the directsuccessor of traditional hand-painted one and shows unparalleled advantages, whichenable it to be combined with TV perfectly and produce top quality TV worksconstantly.The combination of Flash animation and the production of TV programs is thefourth part and also the focus of this thesis. It mainly analyzes the application of Flashanimation in a variety of television programs and the characteristics it shows. Basedon the author's own practical experience, the thesis explores the visual thinking ofFlash animation and elaborates on how to combine it with TV programs and producefine works. As Flash animation is the combination of technology and art, it has theadvantages of simple operation, stable colors, clear pictures, various special effects,quick production and low costs, and provides the audience with a new kind of artisticenjoyment and directors of TV programs with a new means of creation. Next, thepaper explores the basic qualifications for a creator of Flash animation and looks intothe future of the application of Flash animation in TV programs.Based on traditional animation, the art of Flash animation is a new art employingmodern technologies. With its unique advantages, it can be integrated into theproduction of TV programs and injects new blood to TV programs. As a new meansand form of animation production, it hasn't reached maturity when applying it to theproduction of TV programs. This thesis is just a tentative exploration, and it still needsmuch practice and further research to get improved.
