Tic tac: realização de animação pixillation

Abstract

"Tic-Tac" is a project of the course conclusion work (TCC) that aims to make a short animation in the pixillation style, in short, pixillation is an animation technique that is very similar to stop motion, however, instead of using fictitious puppets or scenarios, we are going to use real people, objects and scenarios. The work tells the story of a teenager who is in the period of maturation to adulthood and who is chased by an unknown figure. We were very inspired by German expressionism and director Tim Burton's films, where we'll have the elements: deep shadows, dark circles, very exaggerated makeup and a shuffling of the real world with the fantasy world. In order to represent the two worlds, it was necessary to use two distinct techniques for each passage of the character, being pixillation at the beginning and live action at the end. In the editing and colorization part, a B&W filter was applied to bring reference to German Expressionism, such as the film Nosferatu (FW Murnau. 1922), as all scenes were filmed and photographed during the day, it was necessary to darken them, thus giving a more “dark” dynamic for the animation.
