Professional article review James Riddle- Acting and animation
In this article the main idea is that an animator is really an actor with a pencil. The animator must make the character believable. the viewer must be able to "feel" the character's emotions. Also, to make the story, and character believable, the character must have a reaction that is believable to the viewer.
The author believes that good animation comes from good acting. He believes that in order for an animation film to be great, the "actors" must be believable. The audience must connect with the characters and the story as it unfolds.
The author does not support his claim with evidence. However, he sites the "principles of animation" to support his claim that animation takes more than just moving the character around. He suggests making a character the viewer can "feel."
The author makes a good argument as to how to make animation believable. He suggests techniques that would help to make the characters more believable so the film will resonate with the audience.The weakness is this is an article that seems to be completely based on the author's opinion. There is little support to back up his opinions.
The author believes that in order to be successful in animation, one needs to be a good actor. The animator must connect to the audience by bringing the characters to life with consistency and feelings.
The applications for me as a future videographer are that as animators, we must develop are characters in a way that is believable to our audience,
This is a clearly, well written article which I had no problem understanding.
Overall, I think this was a good article. It gave advice on how to make a animation film believable and enjoyable by audiences. I will take the author's recommendations to heart and try and apply them to future projects.
