Os 12 princípios da animação: da adesão à sua subversão

Abstract

The focus of this research is the analytical criticism and mapping of creative process according to the 12 Principles of Animation, established by Disney studio. The objectives are: to investigate how these principles are applied in most animation techniques and the changes that came with the advent of digital animation process. The principles are present in several productions throughout the history of animation and establish procedures performed in productions such as those chosen for analysis: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) from Disney studio and director Alê Abreu's The Boy and the World (2014). The methodology includes: (1) literature review, reading texts from various fields of knowledge as creative process critics in Media by Salles and Leão; and theory of animation's language: Lucena, Solomon, Williams, Thomas and Johnston; (2) processes mapping following methodological proposal developed by Leão and; (3) scientific text production with three approaches: the critical perspective of processes; the practical procedures in performing animations; and the didactic setting of procedures for animation education. As results, the objective is to contribute to animation's studies and understanding of the different stages of animation creation process. As a practical breakdown of the results, we intend to foster among animation students to review and repertoire training, and provide support material to develop educational programs for traditional and digital techniques and concept characters creation and digital media animation workshops
