Reality Levels and Uncanny Valley in Animation Movies

Abstract

The aim of this research is to identify what causes uncanniness implicated in rotoscoped animation by analyzing the animation in terms of reality levels and multi-layerity. As Lamarre(2009)stated, animation is characterized by the ability of creating fictional worlds from combining many layers. This ability enables animation to vary reality levels with layers. This research argues that multi-layerity and reality levels play crucial roles in analyzing animation.
