Abstract Details

2018, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Design.
This thesis examines the role of space in the structure of narrative and its portrayal in computer animation. The ways in which space tells, expands and acts are presented and discussed through three computer-animated films (Perhaps, Dashes, and Dear, Home) created by the writer. Through Perhaps, Dashes and Dear, Home, the writer explores aesthetic experiences that focus on sensory perceptions of the viewer and their movement around a computer-animated work, crafted from the designer’s personal experiences. By analyzing and examining animated story-making and story-telling in these films, the author foregrounds space as both a narrative subject and a structuring component. The spatial context in which the production and reception of a computer animation take place expands our awareness of computer animation outside the limits of computers and display monitors, highlighting an active participation of the designer and the viewer within the digital space, the physical world, and the narrative space.
