Abstract
This paper explores the visual languages for stop-motion animation from the perspective of artistic expression and different processes of stop-motion animation production. In terms of the application of role performance, modeling effect and true feelings brought by materials, the paper analyzes the language rules and relations among these three aspects and shows the laws by combining some artistic theories and animation techniques.
Highlights
Vivid and abundant visual language, which is medium of expressing various regional cultures and emotions, is at the center of discussion and experiments among animators and practitioners involved in animation
The above-mentioned feature is rather complicated and changeable owing to the specialty in making and filming of frame-by-frame animation, which can be roughly divided into technical filming and lens language according to processing and visual language of stop-motion animation
The visual language of stop-motion animation combined with digital technology is more vivid and abundant
Summary
Vivid and abundant visual language, which is medium of expressing various regional cultures and emotions, is at the center of discussion and experiments among animators and practitioners involved in animation. The above-mentioned feature is rather complicated and changeable owing to the specialty in making and filming of frame-by-frame animation, which can be roughly divided into technical filming and lens language according to processing and visual language of stop-motion animation. In making and filming stop-motion animation, a visual language system in line with the standard of stop-motion animation can be concluded through several steps. We should study stop-motion animation making to analyze specialty of performance, modeling and photographing in each stage of stop-motion animation. We should blend body and behavioral languages, realistic depiction, application of materials and artistic modeling aesthetics together. These steps can be applied to teaching and practicing, improving students’ analytic ability of camera language and induction ability, and frosting students’ creativity
