Visualization of an Animated Documentary with a Hybrid Animation Techniques

Abstract

The research discussion is on how to create a documentary animation with a 3D character form and 2D environment form in a short hybrid animated film with titled Broken Faith. In this animation project “Broken Faith”, the filmmaker re-creates the emotional experience of being haunted by the fear of losing sight. In Broken Faith, it set out to challenge the usual animation process by working in a hybrid style that utilized 2D backgrounds with 3D characters. A hybrid concept is chosen as visual style in order to represent the feeling of the toughness of the world through art lines and the stiffness of the character of a low polygon modeling. This concept benefits the filmmaker to minimize the production time and to optimize the visual that suited to the concept. The aim at this immersive film is to create an experience that allows the audience to engage in the world of limited sight.
