Animación 3D: superación del miedo en el personaje protagonista niño del proyecto del cortometraje Salta
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-03-24) Herrera Ortega, David Alberto; Neira Molina, Álvaro Sebastián
This project is based on the following research question: What are the appropriate audiovisual and narrative resources and techniques in order to represent a child's fear and its overcoming in the short film Salta? In addition to the interest of developing an animated short film, which seeks to be a relevant audiovisual product to promote the culture of animated cinema in Cuenca and Ecuador, it is intended, through the 3D animation technique, to illustrate a story that deals with a deep and emotionally dense topic: the overcoming of fear by a childcharacter. The objective of the proposal is to make a 3D digital animated short film, underpinned by a reflective text, and based on the exploration of concepts of an approximately 7 years old child-character who overcomes his fear of jumping from his tree house The project’s methodology consists in a combination of aesthetic and artistic creation, grounded on theoretical, empirical and philosophical knowledge, which allows the conceptualization of the child-character, the treatment of overcoming fears, and the fundamental principles of animation work. The proposal also aims to combine in a single project referential analysis and 3D animation realization. The result is a script/storyboard product for an animated short called Salta, which tells a brief story of a boy who overcomes his fear of jumping down from his tree house, after he had accidentally knocked down the ladder that allowed him to climb down.
