The eye and brain do something very strange with animation.<\/p>\nThe eye and brain do something very strange with animation.<\/p>\n
This is most apparent when you see three-dimentional representations of animated figures. Some animated figures when turned into statues, or large figures at amusement parks, work just fine.<\/p>\n
Others are just — weird. Playhouse Disney’s Stanley is one of these. I was just watching an ad for the PHD stage show and parade at Walt Disney World, and Stanley looked — very strange. His head was a very strange, unnatural shape. <\/p>\n
Then they showed some Stanley animated clips. And, y’know … they were right. Because the animation style used in Stanley is very stylized. As a cartoon, we accept that, and translate it into beliavable representations. When faced in the flesh with actually seeing it in 3-D, though, it jars.<\/p>\n
I wonder this is why pre-representational art, or art before the development of perspective, didn’t seem just weird and unnatural to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
