CoP Creative Response - Final Response

This is my final outcome of the two animations put in to one showing the differences between motion capture and keyframe animation and if the Uncanny Valley appears within that animations. This links to my essay because in my essay I talk about how films and animations are effected by the Uncanny Valley theory, and also how the theory can make us feel towards characters that unfortunately fall into the Uncanny Valley. It also links to my essay because my animation shows how motion capture can be used to capture realistic movements but without using a character that looks realistically human like using CGI, and in my essay I talk about how if an animator uses CGI looking humans they are more likely to fall into the Uncanny Valley but if the animator just uses motion capture for the performance they can be even more creative. The performance of a character is important so the animator also needs to be able to act and know how the human body moves.

I feel like my animation relates well to my written work and I enjoyed working with motion capture I feel like it is very useful to use if the animator is going for a realistic performance however keyframe animation allows the animator to act and exaggerate so much more. So they both have there advantages and disadvantages to animation. The one thing looking back at my creative work I would change is a part of the character which is his hand because I'm not a huge fan of how they look and I don't really think that they fit in well with the subject matter, I'd change the hand so that the character would have four or five fingers instead. I also feel like this relates well with my essay because they both involve motion capture and how it can effect the persons opinion and emotions to an animation using this software.
