studio 2- light &shadow (animation test)

Research topic:

How light and shadow shape the sense of space and the character's emotions？

Lighting is a subtle art, its role in animation is subtle, and it will affect the subconscious level of the audience, even if the audience sometimes does not directly feel it (Katatikarn, Jasmine & Tanzillo 2016).

Due to this characteristic of light and shadow, it has become and easily overlooked part, but it is also an indispensable part. Because of this, we need to better understand how light functions in animation. The purpose of this research is to determine the light-obtaining elements that can highlight the sadness of the character, such as color and change. At the same time, light and shadow are used to shape the deep sense around the character. Light and shadow are the important elements that I think in this animation. It can be used to shape the overall atmosphere and make the animation more solid. I will use animation test to practice and reach this requirement by focusing on the book ‘lighting for animation’, especially in the expression of light and emotion.
