This is an animation Thesis made by Nick Pitera from Ringling College of Art and Design. Even though this is not exactly programming the way we’ve been doing it using PureDate, it is still a form of Electronic Visualization. I personally am very interested in animation and will most likely be moving to another college to study computer animation. In this piece, Pitera demonstrates the art of animation, specifically, character animation which I hope to one day master. In character animation, the animator uses the computer and drawings to create a moving image that portrays the human movement into something that has life. The movement gives off emotion and when done correctly can make the character seem almost lifelike.
