Animating and Designing Movements for Turtle Figure in 3D Animated Short Film Entitled “TUKIK”

Steven Halim, Christine M Lukmanto

Abstract


One of the most important elements in an animated film to convey a message to the audience is animating a character. Character movement in a scene is very necessary to show what is happening and what the character is experiencing in a scene that is being witnessed by the audience. This research will raise the animating process of the turtle character in a 3D animated short film entitled “TUKIK”. There are two scenes that will be discussed; a scene when the turtle is swimming in the ocean and the movement when the turtle is trapped by the waste at the beach. In the design process, various principles of animation and movement of turtles are applied based on references. The results of this research will be applied to the movements of the turtle characters in the animated awareness film called “TUKIK”.
