किड्स एनिमेशन के लिए OTT के बजाय क्या है 76% भारतीय पैरेंट्स की पहली पसंद? खुद ही देखें

जापान की एक एंटरटेनमेंट एंड टेक्नोलॉजी कंपनी Akatsuki Inc, भारत में किड्स एनीमेशन के क्षेत्र में कदम बढ़ा रही है। जिसके लिए कंपनी ने किड्स एनीमेशन पर आधारित एक सर्वे ‘What Indian Parents Want From Animated Content For Kids’ किया। इस सर्वे को दिल्ली, गुड़गांव, मुंबई, पुणे, कानपुर, गुवाहाटी, बैंगलोर जैसे भारत के 10 मेट्रो सिटीज में किया गया । इस सर्वे का आधार बच्चों के लिए पेरेंट्स द्वारा एनिमेशन…

Not what I was looking for, the main problem I found was that they were a step guide, all the way from what a keyframe is to and how to use software, to importing it in a game. not getting into the heart of what makes animation good, how you use the core principles. Also, the outdated software makes these books pretty useless as tutorials and the last book was slightly different not really getting into how to make a good animation

Witness the Remarkable Evolution of Animation in Video Games

Bhavsar, N. (2017). Witness the Remarkable Evolution of Animation in Video Games. [online] Futurism. Available at: https://futurism.com/witness-the-remarkable-evolution-of-animation-in-video-games/[Accessed 12 Feb. 2018].

This is a fresh article about how graphics and animation have evolved from the first commercially available game Pong which was released in 1972 all the way to 2017. Containing lots of links to videos showing the progression of games, following each video was a short paragraph explaining the landmarks set by each game.

It’s not a very reliable source due to in not having anything to backup up claims, the author also is very credible as he may be a former science and tech writer for Futurism that doesn’t mean he is an expert in the field of animation or games. Another lacklustre part of this article would be lack of content as there were plenty more milestones missed and the writing doesn’t go very far thorough in explaining how game animation/graphics advanced.

From this article, I got the idea that it might be good to include a brief overview of the progression of game animation. I not a very big fan history but the way the article is laid out with the videos and short writing keeps it interesting, so I quite liked the trip to the last which this article gives you.

How Real-time Rendering Is Changing VFX And Animation Production

Failes, I. (2017). How Real-time Rendering Is Changing VFX And Animation Production. [online] Cartoon Brew. Available at: https://www.cartoonbrew.com/tools/real-time-rendering-changing-vfx-animation-production-153091.html [Accessed 4 Mar. 2018].

Best I could find on real-time rendering, I was hoping for an academic reference which would compare real time to off time but this will have to do, it gets straight to the point.

Stereotypical representation of others within game animation

Solgevik, B 2014, 'Stereotypical representation of others within game animation’

, Game Design and Graphics, Uppsala University Library, Sweden

 This thesis is about stereotypes in a sub-genre of strategy games called god games, games where you play god. The main game focused on is Crest but other god games examined are From Dust, Populous and Black & White. The writer used questionnaires to get the opinion of a group of Swedish and South African people on the god games listed above. The results which came back are displayed using mainly bar charts and pie charts which the author then gives reasons why the results turned out as they did. The conclusion reach was that these god games use stereotypes but not in a negative way

Personally, I don’t think it should matters whether stereotypes are used, as your stepping into the world of the creator but understand that there are limits of how far you can take it, as you may get backslash which can affect sales. Most of this thesis isn’t that useful but they are parts such as when differences are explained about how the principles of animation differ for games. I believe it is reliable due to it being educational writing has plenty of references which supports his claims and a case study. This thesis also makes reference to The Illusion Of Life: Disney Animation which is another book which I have to read.

Not quite what I had in mind and a little too advanced for a beginners guide I’m not sure I’m really getting some parts, so I’m not even confidence in using them.
