The process of designing animation and motion graphics as a visual response to surveyed opinions on hyperreality, reality, and film

Biesboer, Allison Marie

Abstract Details

2014, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Design.
The purpose of this paper is to outline and document the making of the short motion graphics and animated film Diversa. The purpose of making the film Diversa is to work with animation, movement and the creation of visual imagery and auditory dialog exploring the surveyed opinions on the subject of “reality.” This paper details the design questions and problems to be solved and the process for making the film. Background research is described in relationship to Diversa including establishing concepts, selected history and current examples of hyperreality in film, and films as inspiration. Concept development for the work evolved based on a variety of responses from online participants to questions of how people define and experience reality and how cinema might be changing reality and influencing perceptions of reality. The details of the filmmaking process provide insight into the designer’s translation of survey answers into a working script that guides the visual development of Diversa. The process is based upon the notion that reality is experienced differently by every individual. The paper concludes with a reflection on the project results and a summary of next steps for the researcher.
