My Two Favorite Animation!!!

CONTINUE - Why Animation? (From my own point of view)

1. COLOR: With different color usage, different feeling is conveyed in the story.

2. TEXT: Words create emphasis.

3. PATTERN & TEXTURE: Non-moving pattern clothes and moving character can create a unique looks.

4. SHADOW-ING: Different animation have their own style of "shadow-ing"

5. MATERIALS: All materials around us can be applied onto animation.


6. BACKGROUND AND FOREGROUND: What's the difference? Foreground is usually outline, as well as the things that move.

7. CAN CREATE SUPER UNREALISTIC SCENE/ ACTION: Without thinking about what's possible, unrealistic imaginations are gathered. Being completely unrealistic is better than being helf-unrealistic.

8. MOVEMENT OF CHARACTERS: Actions are shown to be very strong. Part of the body like hair that can't move becomes lively in animation.

9. SOUND: The effect of sound is greater than what you think! Sound is the main difference between animation and canvas art.

10. LINE: Every objects that move contain outline whether the color of the outline isblue, pink,or black.
