A Brief Moment Of Peace. Ett utforskande i visuellt uttryck inom 3d-grafik och animerad film

Abstract

This project was about the creation of a shorter computer animated film. The goal of the project was to explore a different technique of the visual outcome that should not rely on photorealistic rendering and how to find new interesting ways to use 3d-graphic for visuals. A big part of the project was also to incorporate music to create a chosen atmosphere and impact on the viewer but also to help the story forward and questions such as; ”How can you create an expression for the feeling you want to transmit?” were formulated. The scene was built up in a 3d-application consisting of a house and surrounding garden, which within an character was animated to tell the plot. Since animation of a character was a fairly new experience to the author a lot of time was put into the making of the characters movement. The mentioned visual technique would be a mix of 2d textures, masked out by the moving positions of the 3d objects in the scene. In total 45 masked textures were compiled together and color-corrected along with shadows and depth to create the final short film. The result can be seen here: vimeo.com/62667153.
