Writing an Introduction - 150 Word Overview

 

[Figure 16]

I find it very hard to condense what I want to say, but I think in this introduction [Figure 16], I was able to get my main points across. I was also able to keep it in first person. Between this and the third person, formal, 300 word introduction - I found this a little harder to write everything we needed to include. 

What should be in an introduction? 

  • What I'm looking at: My question, what films / animations, specific scenes or essays.
Motion capture, how tech has evolved, motion capture replacing animators, actors being put to the side-lines, characters in the same franchises evolving / companies evolving. Most critical animations, Polar express. 
  • How and where to look: Essays, books, films, surveys/ opinions, documentaries
Hulk evolution, and corridor crew opinions. Understanding motion capture book. IGN document/website. Personal images 
  • What am I aiming to find out, prove/ disprove?: Expectations coming in to the project and how they'll advance. 
I'm aiming to prove that mocap actors are being put to the side-lines. The advancement in technology is a good thing and ultimately helps out the industry. I would like to disprove that mocap is always useful or necessary or can currently do anything 2d can't. 
  • Predictions
Rotoscoping is thought as cheating. Mocap can do more than 2D, but mocap comes with a lot of bugs.
  • Possible outcomes
Make my face in Maya and try to turn it in to a creature. Acting like the creature and rotoscoping a short animation.
