A construção de um dispositivo cinético para uso em animação stop motion

Abstract

This term paper memorial describes the process of creating a kinetic device that seeks to emulate the movement of the sea, as well as its use in a stop motion short film entitled The Castaway. At first, the different representations of water are exemplified through stop motion animations, going through a brief overview of the history of movement in the different forms of artistic manifestations. Furthermore, it is possible to divide the work into two phases: the first manual, in which the device was made, and then the digital phase, which deals with animation and post-production adjustments. The work establishes an opening to different fields of knowledge, this convergence being an important element for the accomplishment of this work. The aesthetics of the work, as well as the initial questioning that gives rise to all this work, is inspired by the film The Science of Sleep ( 2006).
