直覺式的3D角色動畫實驗性創作

Abstract

3D角色動畫是一種需要具備妥善創作計畫才能有效執行並且進行創作的藝術表現形式，其中一般被認為最重要之動畫前製工作就是繪製分鏡草圖腳本(Storyboard)。因此不管是採用何種媒材進行動畫創作，或者是製作相關動態影像時，3D角色動畫創作者們都會先繪製分鏡草圖腳本以供參考之用。本創作研究則從動畫製程技術面進行實驗，嘗試以不繪製分鏡草圖腳本而直接創作3D角色動畫。這種創作方式筆者稱之為「直覺性」的動畫創作方法，而這也是本創作研究中主要探討與實驗之創作方法。

本創作研究主題則以探討資本主義與其所延伸之商業活動意義為主，利用脈絡結構分析概念，使用比喻性質創作手法，製作與資本主義主題相關之五段主題動畫，並且由中演繹與展示資本主義概念之延伸意義。之後把這些事件內容整理成五項主題：1.形象與行銷 2.管理與控制 3.原料與生產4.製造與加工5.倉儲與販售 五段動畫，最後整合成為本創作動畫影片內容。另外，為解決「不繪製分鏡草圖腳本」所產生之動畫製程困境，本論述中，筆者提供動畫內容相關項目資訊表格做為參考工具，更以實地製作之創作經驗，提供相關建議與說明，以供往後欲使用相同概念創作方式之創作者參考與應用。

3D characters animation is an art needs a complete plan that could be practiced efficiently. One of most important steps in pre-production is storyboard arrangement. 3D characters animation makers will take story script as a reference.This research experimented a direct animation production process to create 3D role models without using storyboard. I name the method of this animation production ‘Intuitive Creation’ which is the method I used to create my animation.

The purpose of this work aims at exploring the meaning of capitalism and its commercial activities.Using this method, I made five parts of animation about capitalism by deducing and presenting its extending meanings. My work was unfolded from the following five aspects: 1. Image and sale, 2. Management and control, 3. Materials and production, 4. Manufacture, 5.keep and sale.These five elements were integrated as a whole of my animation. Moreover, the information of the content, process, experiences of making this animation, and suggestions are provided in this thesis for other animation artists who are interested in this method of making animation.
