Design Support System for Transformation Scenes in Animation Production

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to support the camera blocking for transformation scenes in animation. We analyzed the information of the camera used for the transformation scene in the existing work, the order of the cuts, and the effect. Using the analysis results, we created a system for simulation of transformation scenes. In order to confirm the usefulness of the system, we conducted an experiment to camera blocking of transformation scenes with storyboards and the system. As a result of having people who have drawn storyboards use it, the answer was that it was easy to study the composition using the system, and the production time was shorter than that of storyboards. From this, it can be said that it is possible to support camera blocking in transformation scenes by using the system.
