Summary:碩士 === 國立臺中科技大學 === 多媒體設計系碩士班 === 103 === Character animation is a unique form of performing arts. It primarily demonstrates the character’s personality and thought process through the character’s action. The problem of a 3-D animation is how to make the movements more natural and realistic. According to Walt Disney, animations should not only focus on a character’s action and reaction, but also the content of the action, which is the character emotion. To achieve this goal, we capture the character’s action by using 3-D virtual space, then analyze traditional animation principles and apply it on our 3-D computer animation. In addition, this production applied 3-D animation technique to create the short computer animation. The characters are designed to release positive energy to cure those with corrupted soul, and hoping to inspire viewers to value life more and courageously face life challenges. The author of this production followed the highest animation principle, which is the 12 Basic Principles of Animation created by Disney animators through their years of experience. They also provided 3-D animation production process for future references.
