  1. CSUMBSchool of iTCD (BS) Fall 2009 Capstone Proposal:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Non-narrative abstract animation: 21st Century Art + Technology in Motion~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By Mariko Nihonyanagi Advisor: Pat Watson For: ~~~~~~~~~ CST 400 Dr. Bude Su

  2. Problem: • Animation is mostly seen as a means to a commercial end • Feature animations (Pixar, Disney) • Video & Computer Games • Hollywood Special FX • Motion Graphics for Advertising and TV Station IDs • Historical use of animation as an art and design form is relegated to small niche

  3. Problem Background • Non-commercial animation too time-consuming and expensive to pursue. • Aesthetic exploration of 3D animation forms confined to experimental media programs (MIT, Cambridge, RIT, Pratt, etc.). • Minimal integration of essential design theory and aesthetic values with non-narrative 3D.

  4. Solution: A non-narrative, abstract 3D animation • 30 second to 2 minute animation that integrates the technical demands of 3D animation with design and art aesthetics • Will showcase the blend of art and visual design concepts with 3D technology • Pilot project to facilitate grant application in partnership with the National Steinbeck Center

  5. Precendents: • All contemporary visual design theory is based on experimental abstract theory from the 20th century. Joseph Albers El Lizzitsky Kasimir Malevich Piet Mondrian

  6. Precendents: • Sony Rolly http://www.vimeo.com/3151965 • Ian Clemmer http://www.vimeo.com/6344339 • Nikko Stumpo http://www.abnormalbehaviorchild.com/moritum.html • Jeremy Blake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhScaTVYePk&feature=player_embedded# • Animated Painting Trailer http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=18029543

  7. Precendents: • Visual design and art for the 21st century will be screen-based • All screen-based imagery is (by definition) an animated element • All animated, screen based content will be based on new or currently accepted theories of graphic design and visual art • This project explores this potential
