Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 多媒體動畫藝術學系動畫藝術碩士班 === 102 === In most animations, animal characters are very common. Whether the role of protagonist or supporting, there are still various ways to present. For example, some roles are presented in the form of original nature, and some roles are through physical exaggeration or simple deletion of details, and even more method of anthropomorphing is used, that allow character’s acting to behave almost but not completely like human being. However, the types of performing are not a matter as the role of these animals is always projected by people’s thoughts, feelings, or unique lifestyle. As a result the connection between character and human became more profound. Thus, more topics about animal characters of animation in this paper will be dicussed. This paper is divided into two sections to investigate animal characters. The first part is to introduce and classify various types of animal characters with literary point of view. Also, there is more discussion of animal characters and its meaning from the other animated film. The second section is about exploration of animal characters including the appearance, set difference, and etc. The creation of “Late at Night” is going to present a ghostly mysterious atmosphere with the performance of the animal characters at late night city which combines paper-cut animation and visual effects. The main description is about some characters that is living around us but not being paid attention. These characters have their own secrets hidden in the depths of the heart. These characters lived in the same city. That's the reason why this city is so attractive, when it embraces everyone’s secrets. I proudly present the animation that is full of attractiveness, "Late at Night."
