Abstract:
|
This thesis focuses on the narrative benefits that can be achieved in animation by
storyboarding sequences with abstract aesthetics, rather than using strictly realistic
compositions. The aim is to demonstrate, using Illumination Entertainment’s The Lorax
as an example, how a storyboard artist, by abstracting the visuals and creating a space
that imitates theater’s fabricated otherness, can imitate emotional reality. The ultimate
goal with this technique is to increase audience empathy by creating a visual experience
that is an active emotional parallel to a character’s journey.
