Emotion in Animated Films

by Meike Uhrig (Editor)

Ranging from blockbuster movies to experimental shorts or documentaries to scientific research, computer animation shapes a great part of media communication processes today. Be it the portrayal of emotional characters in moving films or the creation of controllable emotional stimuli in scientific contexts, computer animation’s characteristic artificiality makes it ideal for various areas connected to the with the ability to move beyond the constraints of the empirical "real world," animation allows for an immense freedom. This book looks at international film productions using animation techniques to display and/or to elicit emotions, with a special attention to the aesthetics, characters and stories of these films, and to the challenges and benefits of using computer techniques for these purposes.

A bit painful to read. But I tried to read all through. It is a combination of written articles by different teachers/professors related to 'emotion in animated films', but It was not a book I was looking for or a book I really expected to be. I wanted a book to teach me something about emotions in animations, like different facial expressions or more case studies...This book has also a few good case studies.. but more on the fact of how emotion in animated films would be received by the audiences. It also costs a fortune.
