Abstract:
This sketch explores how advances in software and hardware have influenced changes in not only our films’ aesthetics, but also our artists’ attitudes towards the use of computer animation at Walt Disney Feature Animation over the last decade. As the tools get faster and more intuitive for traditionally trained artists, and the gap between “computer people” and “artists” closes, big changes are in store for the animated film medium, both in 2D and 3D. This discussion covers uses of computer animation in the departments of layout, character animation, effects animation, and background painting.
