These days the video system technology, graphics rendering technology used in a large number of recent television animation film growing majority. Rendering technology is divide into two types - Non- Photorealistic Rendering and Photorealistic Rendering. The Photorealistic Rendering of the human visual attention is approaching viewed in the real-world effect, relatively Non- Photorealistic Rendering technology without regard to the truth, and stress is a creation of analog and abstract manner to produce a variety of different styles presented in realistic films, such as : Ink style , Cartoon style rendering. This research the American Film Sin City as the main objective to explore and extend, This film in a non- realistic rendering graphics technology into realistic filming them, so that the film can simulate the real ones non- realistic rendering technology to creative post-production and special effects of the movie. Such films, Rendering technology but still be able to clearly see that there is a very similar to the scene and authenticity. This research made use of software for the After Effects to Sin City movie black and white cartoon style rendering premise, and furthermore the use of cartoon -style pop art of the technology used in the extension, showing a different style in the motion picture. In this paper, the desired result will bring more creators different visual reference to each other and experience, but also expect the majority of the use of this technology even more in the future.
Goncalves, Raymond Carlos McClure. "Pausing dramatic tension within contemporary action cinema: the relationship between time slicing/slow motion and suspenseful situations in action feature films through praxis lead research." Thesis, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10539/22226.
Full textTime slicing is a film-based visual effect that refers to an enhanced simulation of time at variable speeds by creating the illusion of frozen or slowly progressing motion in time; it is most commonly digitally manipulated. This report will research and analyse how it can be utilized to amplify dramatic tension, or suspenseful situations in contemporary action films through theories, technology and various filming techniques. The theoretical methodology in this report is a historical account of the technology and process in the evolution of time manipulation within photography and film leading up to time slicing. Some Film theory is included in this report in a more conceptual manner as to why time slicing or slow motion is used in suspenseful situations, particularly in the action film genre. The report also demonstrates how the high standards of time slicing in feature films can be similarly achieved on a budget which will be demonstrated through a practical component that will compare a real time versus a time sliced scenario. While it would be preferable to use a full 360-degree array of cameras, the technology involved in time slicing has not yet reached a point where it is economically accessible to a student film maker and most local industries, which is why the focus of the research paper analyses a shorter array of cameras that is just enough to capture a time slice effect. The results will then be assessed based on dramatic tension/suspense to see if they equate to the theories of montage and mise en scène discussed in the research report. As a case study, the report will then compare a scene from The Matrix to that of a scene produced as part of the practical component in order to draw conclusions on quality and the possibilities of a lower budget set-up.

Full textNatural history illustration incorporates a range of visual recording techniques, illustration mediums, and communication styles for the purpose of communicating aspects of the natural world. Whilst quite a unique and specific discipline, it is broad in its application ranging from informative scientific illustrations to more aesthetically orientated artworks. Like many creative practices natural history illustration has only recently come to the playing field of formalised academic research, even though throughout history it has enjoined a significant role in both exploration and scientific investigation. Within my research I have developed a methodological framework for illustrating moments of movement in birds and fish. These frameworks that provide a structure for the development of the knowledge necessary to achieve desired outcomes of practice pertaining to positions of bird flight. Such frameworks help define methods of practice-based research, and thus describe how new knowledge is developed and created in practice. Because of the eclectic nature of information gathering required, and the need to synthesize field, studio and literature studies together into a moment of flight, I designed and created a tangible species-specific articulating bird model. The model proved to be highly significant in both developing and elucidating tacit knowledge in the practitioner, and became a core component of the methodological framework.

Full textThe tight-binding model that has been used for many years in condensed matter physics, due to its analytic and numerical tractability, has recently been used to describe light propagating through an array of evanescently coupled waveguides. This dissertation presents analytic and numerical simulation results of light propagating in a waveguide array. The first result presented is that photonic transport can be achieved in an array where the propagation constant is linearly increasing across the array. For an input at the center waveguide, the breathing modes of the system are observed, while for a phase displaced, asymmetric input, phase-controlled photonic transport is predicted. For an array with a waveguide-dependent, parity-symmetric coupling constant, the wave packet dynamics are predicted to be tunable. In addition to modifying the propagation constant, the coupling between waveguides can also be modified, and the quantum correlations are sensitive to the form of the tunneling function. In addition to modifying the waveguide array parameters in a structured manner, they can be randomized as to mimic the insertion of impurities during the fabrication process. When the refractive indices are randomized and real, the amount of light that localizes to the initial waveguide is found to be dependent on the initial waveguide when the waveguide coupling is non-uniform. In addition, when the variance of the refractive indices is small, light localizes in the initial waveguide as well as the parity-symmetric waveguide. In addition to real valued disorder, complex valued disorder can be introduced into the array through the imaginary component of the refractive index. It is shown that the two-particle correlation function is qualitatively similar to the case when the waveguide coupling is real and random, as both cases preserve the symmetry of the eigenvalues. Lastly, different input fields have been used to investigate the quantum statistical aspects of Anderson localization. It is found that the fluctuations in the output intensity are enhanced and the entropy of the system is reduced when disorder is present in the waveguides.

Full textThis doctoral study investigates the practice of narrative strategies in the creation of animated poetry-film. The status of the animator as auteur of the poetry-film is established on the grounds of the multiple instances of additional authoring that the animated poetry-film requires. The study hypothesises that diverse narrative strategies are operative in the production of animated poetry-film. Two diametrically opposed strategies are identified as ideal for the treatment of lyrical narrative. The first narrative strategy explored is that of metamorphosis, demonstrating how the filmic material originates and grows organically via stream of consciousness and free association. The second narrative strategy entails a calculated approach of structuring visual imagery and meaning through editing from a pre-existing visual lexicon. In both cases, the interdependence is explored between embodied activity and conceptual activity, between tacit and explicit knowledge in the creative act. These two strategies are practically investigated through my creative praxis, specifically the production of two animated poetry-films, Mon Pays and Parys suite. Through these works, the strategies are tested for their effectivity in communicating visual content not contained in the poetry-text, yet adding value to the poetry/animated film hybrid. Animated poetry-film is theoretically contextualised in terms of intermediality and the specific multi-modal nature of the medium. The construction of animated poetry-film is explored through the research study consisting of a thesis and two animated poetry films, with the hope of contributing to research on animated poetry-film specifically, and to animation theory within the South African context.
