| Abstract | Ovaj završni rad obuhvaća kompletan pregled animacije kao multimedijske discipline, ali i kao umjetničkog medija. Fokalnu točku rada predstavlja prikaz generalnog postupka izrade animiranog uratka, te brojnih metoda, tehnika i alata korištenih u navedenom postupku.
Seminar inicijalno predstavlja animaciju uz generalan pristup, definirajući elementarna obilježja i svojstva vezana za ovaj medij. Definira se samo značenje pojma animacije, kao i temeljni preduvjet ključan za opće ostvarivanje iluzije pokreta, te se istu sagleda u odnosu na bliske i srodne medije. Značajan dio seminara se bavi poviješću i razvojem animacije kao medija, ali i kao moćne industrije u maloj količini vremena. Od prvih pronalazaka pokušaja bilježenja slike u pokretu, preko prvih izuma koji su težili upravo tome, do zlatnog doba animacije i njenih prvijenaca i najistaknutijih uradaka, te utjecaj koji su isti imali na razvoj industrije animiranog filma, ali i opće filmske industrije. Značaj animacije se stavlja u kontekst sa današnjim vremenom, te je njen doprinos istaknut uvidom najuspješnije animirane filmove.
Seminar obuhvaća i detaljno obrađuje pojedine tehnike animacije, istučući njihove temeljne karakteristike i posebnosti, te ističe razloge veće i manje zastupljenosti pojedinih tehnika. Animacijske tehnike se stavljaju u kontekst sa vremenom i dostupnom tehnologijom. Posebno se ističu računalne tehnike animacije, te njihova podjela i povezanost sa tradicionalnim tehnikama. Predstavljaju se ključna načela, principi i tehnike rada pojedine tehnike animacije, kao i njihove prednosti i mane kako u umjetničkom smislu tako i u tehničkom smislu.
Druga polovica ovog rada podrazumijeva praktični dio, izrađen izričito u svrhe ovog završnog rada. Bavi se izradom kratkog animiranog uratka koji je obilježen tehnikama 2D i 3D animacije. Detaljno se razrađuje generalni postupak izrade, pružajući uvid u pojedinačne faze rada. Počevši od pripremne faze koja čini sastavni dio procesa svake vrste video uratka. Objašnjava se potreba za kvalitetnom izradom pripremne faze, te se predstavljaju elementi pripremne faze animiranog uratka o kojem je riječ. Nadalje, seminar obuhvaća detaljnu obradu ključnih segmenata 2D i 3D faze rada, te post produkcije. Obrađuju se korišteni softveri i njihove značajke, kao i korištene metode i alati unutar istih. Predstavljen je rad na pojedinim cjelinama, scenama, modelima i principi korišteni za izradu istih. Obuhvaćen je cjelokupni postupak crtanja, animiranja, modeliranja, teksturiranja, do načina same izrade finalnog video uratka. |
| Abstract (english) | This final paper covers a complete overview of animation as a multimedia discipline as well as an artistic medium. The focal point of the paper is an overview of the general animation process and the numerous methods, techniques and tools used.
The seminar initially presents animation with a general approach, defining the elemental characteristics and properties associated with this medium. The actual meaning of the term is defined, as well as the basic prerequisite crucial for the general realization of the illusion of motion, and it is viewed in relation to similar and related mediums. A significant part of the seminar deals with the history and development of animation as a medium, but also as a powerful industry in a small amount of time. From the first attempts of capturing the illusion of movement, through the first inventions that were sought to do so, to the golden age of animation and it’s first and most notable works, and the impact they had on the development of the animated film industry and the general film industry. The importance of animation is put in context with the present day, and its contribution is highlighted by the overview of the most successful animated films.
The seminar covers and elaborates on individual animation techniques, highlighting their basic characteristics and peculiarities, and highlights the reasons for greater and lesser representation of certain techniques. Animation techniques are put in context with the time and technology available. Particularly prominent are computer animation techniques, and their division and association with traditional techniques. The key principles and techniques of each animation technique are presented, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, both artistically and technically.
The second half of this paper implies a practical part, made explicitly for the purposes of this final paper. It is focused on the production of a short animated feature, characterized by 2D and 3D animation techniques. The general design process is elaborated, providing insight into the individual stages of work. Starting with the preparatory phase, which is an integral part of the process of making any type of video. The need for a quality preparatory phase is explained, and elements of the preparatory phase of the animated piece in question are presented. Furthermore, the seminar covers in-depth overview of key segments of the 2D and 3D phases, as well as post production. The software used and their features are analyzed, as well as the methods and tools used within them. Work on individual units, scenes, models and principles used to create them is presented. The whole process of drawing, animating, modeling, texturing, all the way to the making of the actual final video is covered. |
