What attracted me to making animated films ten years ago? For me, this is the magic of
animation and its ability to bring the inanimate around us to life. How much of this magic has
been preserved with the development of digital animation techniques, with the help of which
today we create spectacular and completely virtual worlds that no longer have contact with the
real world.
With the development of digital technologies, the definition of an animated film has changed,
which today no longer needs to be produced 'frame by frame', but can be produced faster and
easier than ever before. With the help of digital technologies, we create increasingly realistic
and stunning virtual worlds. I wonder if one of the main purposes of animation is simply the
complete immersion of the viewer in a virtually created world.
Despite all that digital technologies can offer, traditional animation techniques are still
preserved today, just as with their materiality we somehow maintain contact with reality. So,
in my master's thesis, I am mainly interested in the role and position of traditional animation
techniques today, in the flood of digitally created images. I also decided to use the traditional
technique, namely the stop-motion recording technique, in the practical part of my master's
thesis. I think this technique is the most suitable for the ecological theme that my animated
film will deal with.
