Professor Apple in fully cartoon rendered form.įor example, a recent live animation voice over battle hosted by ASIFA-SOUTH utilized Cartoon Animator to enable users to make 30-45 seconds of animation as a way of both learning the tool and the art of V/O. Tontaveetong is particularly excited about adopting a tool, in Cartoon Animator, that is not only able to assist in communication and interaction, but also likely to be something that animation-centric members will be curious to explore themselves. The plan, too, is to enable many different avatars for conferences and meet-ups, and an ultimate goal is to tell stories with these characters and almost count them as amongst the ‘real’ rank-and-file of ASIFA-SOUTH. Other reasons for the introduction of 2D animated mascots included making news or update broadcasts more engaging. Coupled with Voicemod, which can change your voice into something else live, we’re able to provide that option.” “Some people might not want their face on there,” suggests Tontaveetong, “so we thought this would be a good way to create some avatars and let people talk about stuff in the industry that they might normally be able to. One of the main reasons the organization had for jumping into animated mascots for its live broadcasts was that ASIFA-SOUTH felt interaction could be improved, especially where there might be a round-table discussion of something that needed very open discussion. These then get rigged in Cartoon Animator and readied for use. A comic and brand guide was established in Canva (where other character designs also reside). One character that ASIFA-SOUTH built to test this live character workflow, in particular, is known as ‘Professor Apple’. Our team were able to pick up Cartoon Animator really quickly.” “We are training animators who are beginner animators to do this. Hand tracking with LEAP motion in Cartoon Animator.
The simple set-up brings a lot of value to the sessions, says Marisa Ginger Tontaveetong, president of ASIFA-SOUTH who is also a producer for School of Humans and a SIGGRAPH strategy advisor.
