Ilustrações animadas estereoscópicas: análise de uma técnica

Abstract

This paper deals with a study on the use of stereoscopy in animated illustrations. It aims to analyze some illustrations by two artists - the only ones found since the research began - who work with animated illustrations using stereoscopy. The artists, Dain Fagerholm and the Etherington brothers do not disclose their artistic process or how they get to the result of their work. However, after analyzing the artists' works, experiments were performed to reproduce the effect with results similar to those of their animated illustrations. The similarity between the techniques of the artists and the proposal in this paper is that they all use stereoscopy as a basic principle to reach the visual effect. The experiments were made with some illustrations, especially those of Dain, in an attempt to reproduce the same effects of his animated illustrations. The chosen research methodology was the explanatory one, with approach in bibliographical and experimental review. Based on this, the developed work presents from the historical context in which stereoscopy is inserted in the world until when it arrives in Brazil; how illustrations with characteristics of three-dimensional illusion have changed over the centuries; which two-dimensional techniques simulate the three-dimensional visual effect; the analysis of the animated illustrations by artists Dain and Lorenzo and, finally, the experiments performed to achieve the proposed technique. At the end of the paper we present some proposals for future studies and indications of tests that could not be performed in this work.
