Digital Animation "Fingerprints" Of The Design And Implementation

This thesis is based on the backgroud that computer graphics(CG) technology as a tool is increasingly applied to the animation production. Because of the involvement of the CG technology, some profound changes have taken place in the traditional animation, such as the production process, audio-visual language, subject conception, etc. The purpose of this thesis is to study and explore the new process plane of makinng animation in assist of computer graphic technology.Animation is a practical course. Creative practice, therefore, is the best solution way to find a new process plane of makinng animatioa This article explains the the creative process of the author’s original animation short film "fingerprints" in details. And the author introduced several new producing planes called "paperless animation technology" and "2D & 3D combining technology". But the two technologies are merely used in individual original works. It means that we are difficult to judge the quality of pictures, costs, efficience and so on. To demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of these two technologies, the author firstly made the original works, and than analyzed the problems in the process, proposed solutions, and formed a better project that adapting to the similar woiks at lastThe thesis compared the artistry and technology of traditional animation and paperless animation by analyzing the workmanships specialties of these 2 kinds of animations. And the advantages and weaknesses of them were summarized respectively. In this part, the article also analyzed the features of 2D & 3D merging technology. The study of the assistant functions of 3D animation in making 2D works was the key to the pointBy practice, the author finally points out that traditional animation production technology will be inevitably digitalized in a certain degree with the development of computer graphic technology. The "paperless animation" and "2D&3D merging technology" are important forms of digitalization. These two technologies can meet the needs of the company’s production, can be widely used in personal original works. "Paperless animation technology" and "2D&3D merging technology" can improve efficiency, reduce the waste of manpower, and get a better visual effect under the premise of keeping the traditional animation flavor.
